Cut  College  Rolls 
By  More  Than  20 

V-7  Program  Keeps  7  Men 
as  Six  Join  Air  Forces; 
'Record'  Loses  2  Editors 


First  direct  effect  of  the  war  on  Williams 
came  during  the  summer  as  more  than 
twenty  men  left  college  to  enter  activities 
linked  more  or  less  intimately  with  the 
military  services.  Scheduled  to  begin 
sooner  than  it  actually  has,  the  march  of 
Williams  men  into  the  armed  forces  is 
expected  to  increase  steadily  throughout 
the  year. 

Draft  Takes  Two 

Selective  Service,  which  college  author- 
ities predicted  would  make  heavy  inroads 
into  Williams'  1941  enrollment,  actually 
was  responsible  for  the  loss  of  only  two 
men.  By  far  the  greater  part  of  the  group 
not  returning  to  college  this  fall  for  mili- 
tary reasons  volunteered  for  their  various 
services. 

Easily  the  largest  single  group  are  the 
seven  men  in  the  Naval  Reserve  V-7 
training  program.  Expecting  to  return 
to  Williams  this  year  when  they  signed  up, 
they  were  mustered  into  active  duty  a 
few  weeks  before  college  opened.  The 
order  requiring  that  all  men  in  the  Naval 
Reserve  V-7  program  take  immediate 
active  duty  reveals  the  increasing  difficulty 
which  the  Navy  Department  has  been 
having  in  enlisting  enough  men  to  man 
the  ships  of  a  rapidly  enlarging  fleet. 
'Record'  Lobm  Three 

The  campus  oganization  hardest  hit  by 
the  loss  of  this  V-7  septet  is  The  Recohd, 
which  has  lost  two  of  its  Senior  mainstays, 
Managing  Editor  David  S.  Maclay  (who 
also  captained  the  swimming  team)  and 
Assignment  Editor  Samuel  L.  Root. 
Also  lost  to  The  Recoup  is  Merchan- 
dising Manager  David  B.  Smith  '42. 
Sig  President  Gone 

Other  Naval  Reservists  who  won't  be 
back  are  Robert  A.  Barnet  HI,  ace 
swimmer  Thomas  T.  Boyd,  and  Sigma 
Phi  president  F.  Thomas  Ward,  all  '42, 
and  Thurston  Holt  '43.  Investigation 
revealed  that  Root  will  be  stationed 
October  1  on  a  Newport,  R.  I.,  destroyer, 
Barnet  on  the  aircraft  carrier  Ranger,  and 
Boyd  at  the  Communications  School  in 
Noroton,  Conn.

Gregersen  Letter 
Asking  Fewer  Cars 
Has  Slight  Effect 

Gas  Station  Operators 
Say  Shortage  Exists 
Now    in     Williamstown 


Dean  Halfdan  Gregersen's  letter  to  the 
juniors  and  seniors  in  the  middle  of 
August,  requesting  them  not  to  bring 
automobiles  to  college  this  year  unless 
they  felt  that  they  were  "absolutely 
necessary,"  appears  to  have  had  only  a 
limited  effect  on  the  upperclassmen. 
90  Cars  Here  Now 

To  date  approximately  ninety  parents 
and  guardians  have  given  students  per- 
mission to  operate  cars  at  Williams  this 
year,  and  this  number  is  expected  to  jump 
sharply  during  the  next  few  days.  Last 
year  approximately  170;cars  were  register- 
ed in  the  Dean's  office  at  one  time  or 
another  during  the  college  year. 
Bullett  Desoribaa  Shortaga 

Feeling  among  the  gas  station  operators 
of  Williamstown  who  will  have  to  supply 
students  with  gas  is  that  tliey  will  not 
have  mucit  trouble  if  a  little  cooperation 
is.  diown  t>y  the  car-owners.  According 
to  pordon  Bullett,  manager  of  West's 
Fining  Station  on  Spring  Street,  if  students 
restrict  their  driving  to  trips  and  imporlaiU 
j<^n*yt  he  will  be  able  to  supply  them 
with  gu,  but  if  they  use  cars  just  to  go 
bock  aniterOt  to  dosses,  he  will  be  unable

President  Baxter  back  '"  iVtIltarmtoujn  last  weekend  for  "a  quiet  real"  from  his  iVaah- 
inglon  duties  as  director  of  research  and  analysis  In  the  information  department. 


President  Heads  Defense  Division, 
Will  Sift  Truth  From  Enemy  Lies 

Donovan,   Information  Coordinator,   Drafts 
Baxter  for  Key  Washington   Post 


President  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd, 
assumed  the  greatest  responsibility  of  his 
career  last  August  1,  when  Col.  William  J. 
Donovan,  coordinator  of  information, 
appointed  him  director  of  the  vitally 
important  research  and  analysis  branch 
of  the  information  department.  Dr. 
Baxter's  duties  as  lecturer  at  the  Naval 
War  College  and  his  m'emberships  in  the 
North  Adams  Selective  Service  Board  and 
in  the  National  Board  of  Tax  Amortiza- 
tion Review  have  already  identified  him 


Town  Soon  to  Buy 
Local  Water  Plant 

Selectmen  Thank  '  Record ' , 
Feel  Its  Publicity  Won 
Strong    Public    Support 


Williamstown's  campaign  to  lower  the 
present  exorbitant  rates  of  the  local  water 
concern,  launched  last  spring  by  the 
Record  sponsored  articles  of  the  col- 
lege's economist,  Philip  H.  Coombs, 
resulted  in  complete  success  last  June  30, 
when  the  town  electorate,  assembled  in  a 
precedent-breaking  special  meeting,  voted 
unanimously  to  purchase  the  utility. 
Selectmen  Land  'Record' 
Official  notification  of  the  campaign's 
success  came  last  Friday  when  the  Board 
of  Selectmen  wrote  The  Recobd:  "The 
vote  of  the  special  town  meeting  —  to  buy 
the  Williamstown  Water  Company  — 
brings  to  an  end  the  campaign  waged  for 
that  purpose."  Describing  as  "invaluable" 
the  support  which  The  Record  accorded 
the  movement,  the  Selectmen  asserted  its 
publicity  "crystalized  public  opinion  in 
favour  of  the  purchase." 

Despite  the  disbelief  of  uninformed 
persons,  the  vote  of  the  town  "absolutely 
and  positively  insures"  public  ownership 
of  the  company,  Samuel  P.  Blagden  '96, 
selectman  chairman,  asserted  in  a  weekend 
interview.  The  original  franchise  of  the 
privately-owned  Williamstown  Water 
Company  definitely  stipulates  that  the 
town  may  purchase  the  utility  for  a  just 
price  "whenever  it  decides  to  do  so,"  Mr. 
Blagden  explained. 

At  present  the  town  is  negotiating  with 
the  utility  executives,  attempting  by 
private  treaty  to  set  a  purchase  price 
agreeable  to  both  parties.  Should  these 
negotiations  fail,  Selectman  Blagden  pro- 
mises the  town  will  take  the  case  before 
the  Massachusetts  Department  of  Public 
Utilities.  By  adjudication  the  commis- 
sioners of  thisdepartment  will,  if  necessary, 
determine  a  purchase  price  "binding  on 
both  parties." 

Mr.  Coombs,  who  flew  from  Washington 
to  attend  the  special  town  meeting  last 
June,  continually  maintained  in  his 
Rbcord  articles  of  last  spring  that  town 
ownership  of  the  Williamstown  utility 
will  save  Williams  "several  thousands  of 
dollars"  annually.  Mr.  Blagden  agrees 
savings  for  Williams  amounting  to  thou- 
sands of  dollars  will  definitely  be  "real- 
ized", but  not  until  after  a  few  years  of 
town  management.  ,

America's  fight  against   Hitlerism. 
Newhall  Afating  President 

Permission  for  the  President  to  accept 
his  new  full-time  Washington  post  came 
from  the  Board  of  Trustees'  Executive 
Committee,  who  authorized  him  to  serve 
in  his  new  directorship  as  long  as  he  may 
deem  necessary.  Under  Law  27  of  the 
college,  Professor  Richard  A.  Newhall, 
chairman  pro  tempore  of  the  faculty, 
becomes  acting  president  of  Williams  in 
the  absence  of  Mr.  Baxter,  and  will  per- 
form all  presidential  duties  relating  to  the 
"immediate  government  and  administra- 
tion of  the  college." 

Baxter  Not  'Bvi?.i\.  Truster 

Dr.  Baxter,  who  resides  during  the  week 
at  the  Washington  home  of  Archibald 
MacLeish,  librarian  of  Congress,  now 
rules  a  vast  defense  division  —  "larger 
than  the  Williams  faculty"  —  which  the 
New  York  Herald  Tribune  headlined  as  a 
"new  kind  of  brain  trust."  The  President 
will  act  as  director  of  a  board  of  seven 
chief  analysts  whose  task  will  be  to  collect, 
condense,  analyze,  and  evaluate  infor- 
mation —  especially  from  hostile  nations — 
collected  by  the  State,  War,  Navy,  and 
other  governmental  departments. 
Takes  'Quiet  Rest' 

At  Williamstown  over  last  weekend  for 
"a  quiet  rest,"  President  Baxter  found 
time  between  freshman  addresses,  teas, 
dictation,  and  alumni  meetings,  to  explain 
he  is  not  a  brain  truster,  will  not  attempt 
to  run  the  college  by  remote  control,  and 
hopes  to  fly  from  the  Capitol  every  week- 
end to  Williamstown.  Dr.  Baxter  said 
for  the  past  six  weeks  he  has  recruited 
scores  of  scholars  from  colleges,  univers- 
ities, government  agencies,  and  research 
bureaus  to  complete  his  Washington  staff. 

His  seven  chief  analysts  have  already 
been  selected.  They  include  Professors 
W.  L.  Langer,  Edward  S.  Mason,  and 
Donald  C.  McKay  of  Harvard;  Calvin 
Hoover,  Dean  of  the  Graduate  School  of 
Duke;  Professor  Edward  M.  Earle  of  the 
Institute  of  Advanced  Study  at  Princeton; 
and  Professor  Joseph  R.  Hayden,  chairman 
of  the  department  of  government  at  the 
University  of  Michigan.

Entry  meetings  held  by  thirty-eight 
junior  advisers  Saturday  night  started  a 
dual  drive  to  enforce  freshman  rules  and 
restrict  the  annual  Freshman-Sophomore 
Riot  to  out  of  doors  action.  The  program 
is  a  result  of  increasing  laxity  in  observance 
of  first  year  rules  and  the  damage  inflicted 
on  college  equipment  in  recent  freshman- 
sophomore  sprees. 

Alan  G.  James  '43,  president  of  the 

junior  advisers,  assured  a  definite  rigidity 

in  this  year's  system,  saying  that  his  group

Wailing  Jobs — If  you  talk  waiting 
jobs  to  any  house,  you  and  the  fraternity

possible  for  a  man  to  go  to  his  fifth  or

should  list  no  house  on  his  final  bid  ac-

frequent  controversy  in  recent  years,  the 
Undergraduate  Council  this  year  has 
prohibited  the  serving  of  refreshments

each  rushing  night,  including  the  sub- 
pref  d'te  next  Monrif y.  Refreshments

Baxter  Warns  Propaganda 
Blasts  at  U.  S.  Unity,  Hits 
Students'     War     Jitters 


by  C.  GoBHAM  Philups  '4,S 

The  largest  entering  class  in  the  history 
of  the  college  deserted  interior  decorating 
and  junior  advisers  for  a  while  last  week- 
end to  begin  a  week  of  meetings  and 
conferences  designed  to  acquaint  them 
with  the  ways  of  Williams  life.  Meeting 
together  for  the  first  time  in  Jesup  Hall 
Saturday  night,  the  284  members  of  1945 
were  greeted  by  President  James  P. 
Baxter,  3rd,  arM  a  group  of  adminis- 
trative representatives. 

Rushing  System  Explained 

At  the  meeting  President  Baxter 
asserted  that  insidious  propaganda  was 
"hammering  enemy  wedges  into  the 
national  unity"  at  the  rate  of  millions  of 
words  each  day  -  words  which  "gulled  and 
seduced  Americans"  were  reiterating  to 
the  imminent  peril  of  American  demo- 
cracy. Sunday  afternoon  the  freshmen 
met  again  in  Jesup  to  hear  Robert  F. 
Hendrie  '42,  rushing  chairman,  and  Frank 
H.  Thorns,  Jr.  '30,  arbiter,  explain  the 
mechanics  of  the  Williams  rushing  system. 
President  Baxter  Speaks 

President  Baxter,  who  was  introduced 
b>-  the  chairman  of  the  Saturday  meeting, 
Thomas  J.  Wood,  director  of  admissions, 
as  one  of  the  few  Americans  "now  per- 
forming two  full-time  jobs,"  said  the 
nation's  safety  was  challenged  as  never 
before  since  1865,  and  declared  that  only 
faith  in  democracy,  support  of  the  govern- 
ment, and  national  unity  can  annihilate 
the  "sinister  effectiveness"  of  enemy 
propaganda.  Congratulating  the  fresh- 
men upon  being  born  in  years  of  extra- 
ordinary opportunity,  Williams'  chief 
executive  stressed  two  obligations  which 
undergraduates  owe  to  themselves,  the 
college,  and  the  nation. 

First,  Dr.  Baxter  emphasized  the  under- 
graduate obligation  to  scrutinize  closely 
all  sources  of  information  published  or 
preached  in  this  country.  The  American 
people  have  the  gigantic  task  of  separating 
the  "poison  of  disbelief  in  democracy" 
from  the  actualities  of  the  present,  ruthless 
threat  to  freedom,  he  declared.  Mr. 
Baxter,  following  in  the  footsteps  of 
another  great  Williams  president,  Harry

Only  American  Action  Before  Spring  Can 
Thwart  Axis  World  Triumph  Says  Schuman 


Assailing  wishful  thinking  about  the' 
Russian  capacity  for  indefinitely  successful 
resistance,  Professor  FrederickL.Schuman, 
Williams'  foremost  forecaster,  recently 
issued  solemn  warning  that  only  a  program 
of  "all  out  American  action,  short  of 
nothing"  undertaken  within  the  next  six 
months  while  Hitler's  legions  are  still 
engaged  in  the  East  can  thwart  ultimate 
Nazi  world  conquest. 

"All  out  action"  Professor  Schuman 
defined  as  active  American  military  co- 
operation with  Britain  in  sweeping  Axis 
shipping  from  the  seas  and  in  eventually 
opening  a  western  front  in  Scandanavia, 
Spain,  or  Italy  to  supplement  eastern 
Russian  resistance. 

Russian  Invasion  'Gamble' 
Terming  the  Russian  invasion  Hitler's 
most  desperate  gamble  of  the  war,  the 
political  science  expert  declared  that  the 
German  Fuehrer  launched  his  eastern 
blitz  to  promote  American  isolation  and 
appeasement.  The  invasion  was  an  effort 
to  delay  United  States  intervention  and  to 
enable  Nazi  annihilation  of  the  Red  Army 
before  outright  military  assistance  could 
materialize. 

SovUt  Vietory  BHsntial 
Mr.  Schuman  pointed  out  that  despite 
stiff  Communist  opposition  to  the  German 


;tWi 


ehrmacht  and  the  possibility  that 
hostilities  on  the  eastern  front  will  be  kept 
alive'  until  spring,  the  Red  Army  cannot 
alone  repel  the  military  might  of  the  Third 
Reich  indefinitely.  And  if  America  and 
Britain  allow  the  Soviet  Union  to  fall,  he 
prophesied,  they  in  turn  shall  be  overrun 
by  the  Nazi  hordes.  _ 

U.  S.  Public  Iiethargic 

Questioned  on  the  possibilities  of  all-out 
American  action  before  the  opportune 
moment  of  German  eastern  occupation  has 
passed,  the  popular  campus  prognosticator 
struck  a  note  of  pessimism.  Having  spent 
his  summer  in  the  midwestcrn  climate  of 
"soggy,  sodden  indifference  and  isolation- 
ism," he  conceded  little  possibility  that 
the  American  public  could  be  "brought  to 
the  point  of  doing  what  it  must  do  for  its 
own  future  freedom -unless  it  is  given  some 
positive  and  dynamic  purpose"  to  strive 
for. 

Score*  'Eight  Points' 

"Constant  appeals  to  fear,  such  as  — 
'Hitler  will  get  you  if  you  don't  watch 
out' — and  continued  manipulation  of  the 
negative  symbols  of  'National  Defense' 
and  'Freedom  of  the  Seas'  arc  unlikely  to 
produce  the  results  required,"  he  added, 
"Nor  do  homeopathic  doses  of  warmed-up 
platitudes  of  twenty  years  ago  as  repre-

the  tentative  title  of  "A  Primer  of  Power 
Politics."  It  traces  the  foreign  policies 
of  the  seven  great  world  powers  over  the 
past  decade. 


Dean  Is  Traveling 
In  Mexico  for  ACIP 

Gregersen  and  deLozada 
Prepare  Select  Students 
For  Latin  American  Plan 


IlulH-rt  II.  Allen  'tS  was  recently 
selected  as  director  of  the  Williams 
Round  Table  for  the  current  yeai ,  succeed- 
ing Donald  R.  Hooz  '42.  Allen  has 
participated  in  declamation  contests  and 
has  always  been  interested  in  pul)lic 
speaking  while  in  college. 

George  II,  lladley  '.'W,  who  is  now  at  a 

basic  flying  school  at  Gunter  Field, 
iVIontgomery,  Alabama,  is  scheduled  to 
be  promoted  late  this  month  to  an  ad- 
vanced school  where  he  will  train  in 
observation.  Also  training  with  him  are 
some  150  cadets  from  Great  Britain. 
(See   PARAGRAPHS    ikikc   3) 


A  new  and  original  experiment  for 
improving  Latin  American-United  States 
relations  was  inaugurated  on  the  Williams 
College  campus  this  summer  by  Dean 
Halfdan  Gregersen  and  Prof.  Enriciue 
Sanchez  tleLozada,  former  Bolivian 
diplomat.  Dr.  Gregersen  is  now  in 
Mexico  working  on  what  he  calls  "a  plan 
for  a  century." 

Even  the  U.  S.  State  Department  noted 
the  importance  of  the  course  in  which 
seventeen  picked  college  graduates  were 
in  training  to  go  to  Latin  America  to  live 
as  ordinary  citizens.  The  purpose  of  the 
organization  is  the  democratic  object  of 
developing  a  genuine  community  of 
interest  with  I'nited  States  neighbors. 
It  is,  as  Time  Magazine  (August  11) 
expressed  it,  "a  start  toward  a  U.  S. 
attempt  to  beat  the  Germans  at  the  game 
of  making  friends  with  Latin  Americans 
by  sharing  their  life  and  customs. 
Riis  '17  Supports  Plan 

The  project,  though  encouraged  by  the 
State  Department,  was  entirely  unofficial. 
Other  organizers  were  Roger  W.  Riis  '17, 
son  of  the  late  social  worker,  Jacob  Riis; 
Jacob  K.  Javits,  a  Wall  Street  lawyer;  and 
Doctor  Carlos  Garcia-Mata,  an  Argentine 
businessman,  all  of  whom  taught  at  the 
sunmier  school  in  collaboration  with  Drs. 
deLozada  and  Gregersen. 

Students  from  Yale,  Harvard,  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago,  Smith  and  Bennington 
were  among  those  picked  for  the  work. 
The  seventeen  gathered  at  the  Delta  Phi 
Lodge  where  they  were  taught  Latin, 
American  literature,  music,  history,  and 
languages.  After  completing  their  course 
at  Williams,  they  left  for  Mexico  for  a 
fmishing  course. 

'Time'  Explains  Plan 

"They  will  be  placed  in  jobs  in  Latin 
America  as  businessmen,  journalists  and 
teachers-through  an  Association  of  Com- 
mittees for  International  Placement  (A. 
C.  I.  P.)  organized  by  the  same  group," 
said   Time. 

Dean  Gregersen,  in  his  capacity  as 
President  of  the  A.  C.  I.  P.,  is  now  working 
in  Mexico  to  set  up  some  of  the  committees 
on  which  his  plan  depends,  but  will  return 
to  Williamstown  this  week  to  be  on  hand 
for  the  beginning  of  classes.  He  will, 
however,  continue  working  on  hemisphere 
relaticms  thrimgh  his  organization  in 
addition  to  his  position  as  dean  of  the 
college.

THE 


CO. 


NEW  YORK 


NEW   HAVEN 


Annual  Rushing  Season 
Will  Begin  Wednesday 

Thorns  '30  Again  Arbiter; 
Hendrie  '42  Is  Chairman 


Under  the  guidance  of  Frank  R.  Th(mis 
'30,  arbiter,  and  Robert  F.  Hendrie  '42. 
chairman  of  the  rushing  committee, 
Williams'  smooth-running  rushing  system 
will  get  moving  Wednesday  in  its  annual 
campaign.  Members  of  the  class  t)f  1945 
will  receive  their  first  period  bid  charts  at 
1:00  p.  m.  in  Jcsup  Hall  Wednesday  to 
open  the  seven-day  period. 

Delegation  Limit  14 

Record  breaking  seems  to  be  the  keynote 
of  this  newest  class  to  Williams,  for  not 
only  is  it  the  largest  class  ever  to  enter 
Williams,  but  also  because  of  its  size  has 
forced  the  rushing  committee  to  raise  the 
delegation  limit  for  each  house  to  fourteen, 
a  figure  which  has  not  been  equaled  since 
the  adoption  of  the  present  system, 
according  to  Hendrie. 

On  the  basis  of  Section  S,  B,  of  the 
Interfraternity  Agreement  the  delegation 
limit  is  set  by,  "This  limit,  which  shall  be 
set  by  the  Undergraduate  Council  each 
year,  will  be  based  on  the  number  of  men 
the  Garfield  Club  can  accommodate  up  to 
thirty  per  cent  of  the  incoming  class." 
No  Major  Changes 

With  the  exception  of  a  few  minor 
changes  in  wording  passed  last  >'ear  by 
the  1941  Undergraduate  Council  this 
year's  Rushing  Agreement  reads  the  same 
as  in  the  past.  Hendrie  has  stated  that 
the  program  will  be  the  same  as  in  other 
>'ears. 

Gist  of  Rushing  Rules 

The  first  period  of  rushing  consists  of 
a  maximum  of  sixteen  dates,  four  each  for 
four  evenings  beginning  Wednesday. 
Following  last  year's  procedure,  each 
freshman  will  have  at  least  one  (late  an 
evening.  Any  person  accepting  one  bid 
in    this    period    must    accept    them    all. 

Three  dates  on  Sunda\'  evening  and 
three  on  Monday  comprise  the  second 
period.  The  sixth  engagement  of  this 
period  is  the  preferential  date,  the  lifth 
the  sub-preferential.  Although  any  of 
the  six  dates  ma>-  be  discartled  or  inter- 
changed at  the  candidate's  convenience, 
none  of  the  first  four  may  be  moved  up  to 
the  last  two.  Final  bids  will  be  handed 
out  Tuesday  mornnig,  September  23,  and 
pledging  will  occur  that  evening.

Spring  Streeler — This  is  the  term 
given  to  a  man  who  refuses  to  accept  final 
bids  from  either  the  Gai field  Club  or  a 
fraternity.  A  freshman  who  so  divorces 
himself  from  his  college  and  his  class  makes 
a  serious  mistake. 


BAXTER 


Spiing  Street   Building 
To  Be  Alumni  Quarters 

Sponsored  by  the  alumni,  planned  for 
the  alumni,  and  made  possible  by  dona- 
tions from  alumni,  a  head-quarters  for 
returning  graduates  is  now  under  con- 
structi<m  to  fill  'what  has  long  been  a  real 
need  in  Williamstown,"  according  to 
Stuart  J.  Templeton  '10,  President  of  the 
Society  of  Alumni.  The  building,  formerly 
the  Home  Tea  Room,  is  located  on  Spring 
Street  one  block  south  of  the  Post  Office. 
Reynolds  '16  Draws  Plans 

The  work  of  remodeling,  based  on  plans 
drawn  up  by  Kenneth  G.  Reynolds  '16, 
got  under  way  early  in  September,  and 
will  be  terminated  in  six  or  eight  weeks,  in 
time  for  an  opening  party  after  the 
Amherst   game,   November   IS. 

The  first  floor  plan  includes  lounge, 
clubrooni,  reception  room,  cloak  room, 
and  bar,  while  the  second  floor  will  contain 
living  quarters  and  office  for  Edwin 
Holmes  '23,  Placement  Director,  who  will 
have  charge  of  the  building.  Also,  there 
will  be  a  large  parking  space  in  back. 
Makepeace  '00  Picks  Site 

Last  year  the  only  available  alumni 
headquarters  was  the  basement  of  Cabe 
Prindle's  establishment,  and  the  alumni, 
led  by  Ralph  Perkins  '09  and  Lansing 
Chapman  '10,  determined  to  remedy  the 
situation.  As  a  result  of  their  work, 
alumni  contributed  the  necessary  funds. 


and  Charles  D.  Makepeace  '00,  college 
treasurer,  secured  the  Spring  Street  site. 
The  Williams  Club  Bulletin  for  Septem- 
ber announces  that  there  are  to  be  no  dues 
at  the  new  quarters,  that  all  gifts  will  be 
anonymous,  and  that  every  Williams  man 
js  welcome. 


Dr.  Baxter  Tapped  for 
$72  by  Undergraduate 
With  Check,  No  Friends 

Short  of  cash?  Here's  how  you  can 
touch  the  Director  of  Research  and 
Analysis  in  the  Ofiice  of  the  Coordinator 
of  Information: 

A  Williams  undergraduate,  stranded 
several  weeks  ago  in  the  nation's  capitol 
with  a  $72  check  and  nobody  to  cash  it, 
telephoned  Director  of  Research  and 
Analysis  (alias  Williams  President  James 
P.  Baxter  3rd.)  in  the  Office  of  the  Co- 
ordinator of    Information. 

After  gaining  the  presidential  ear  by 
telling  his  secretary  that  he  was  a  well- 
known  senator,  the  student  pleaded  his 
case,  asking  Dr.  Baxter  to  cash  the  check. 
His  state  senators,  he  said,  were  in 
"committee  hearing,"  and  could  not  be 
reached. 

As  Dr.  Baxter  was  "a  little  short  at  the 
time,"  the  raonej'  was  supplied  b\-  a 
prominent  motion  picture  director  who 
was  in  the  ofiice.

Army,  Navy  Assist 

In  his  work  Dr.  Baxter  will  be  assisted 
by  two  groups  of  officers  detailed  from  the 
Army  and  Navy,  and  by  research  staffs 
composed  of  economists,  psychologists, 
geographers,  political  scientists,  and  hist- 
orians. His  largest  subcommittee,  the 
Division  of  Special  Information,  will  be 
housed  in  the  Library  of  Congress. 

President  Baxter  must  wear  an  identifi- 
cation button  on  his  vest,  "which  looks 
as  if  it  were  picked  at  random  from  a  list 
of  suspects,"  whenever  he  goes  to  his 
office,  located  in  the  Federal  Trade  Com- 
mission Building.  His  staff  has  grown  so 
quickly  that  his  complete  division  must 
soon  move.  "Better  to  move  than  stop 
growing,"  Dr.  Baxter  explained. 
Leaves  N.  A.  Board 

Upon  accepting  his  new  post.  Dr. 
Baxter  resigned  "with  regret"  from  the 
North  Adams  Selective  Service  Board  and 
from  the  National  Board  of  Tax  Amorti- 
zation Review.  He  will  continue  lectur- 
ing at  the  Naval  War  College,  but  his 
course  at  Williams  in  the  history  of  Amer- 
ican foreign  policy  will  now  be  conducted 
by  Professor  Joseph  E.  Johnson,  and  Mr. 
Alden  Jamison,  one  of  the  ablest  of  Dr. 
Baxter's  former  graduate  students  at 
Harvard.  Mr.  Jamison  will  likewise  take 
over  two  of  Professor  Newhall's  History 
1-2  sections,  releasing  the  acting  president 
for  administrative  duty  in  No.  1  Hopkins. 

Dr.  Baxter  will  attend  all  meetings  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  despite  his  Washing- 
ton responsibilities,  and  whenever  (rassible 
will  attend  the  meetings  of  the  Faculty 
Committee  on  Appointments  and  Pro- 
motions. Correspondence  intended  for 
the  President's  office  should  be  directed  to 
Professor  Newhall  at  Hopkins  Hall  during 
the  absence  of  Dr.  Baxter.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  TUESDAY,  SEPTEMBER  16,  1941 


Educators  Ask  Congress 
For  Student   Deferment 

College  officials  asked  Congress  last 
week  to  defer  students  who  are  completing 
their  college  course  in  the  1941-1942 
school  year,  since  the  original  Selective 
Service  Act  makes  allowance  only  for 
students  graduating  last  spring. 

Appearing  before  the  Senate  Military 
Subcommittee  the  group  of  educators 
stated  that  1,000,000  young  men  hesitated 
to  matriculate  this  fall  because  of  their 
eligibility  for  the  draft.  The  delegation 
of  officials,  which  included  Dean  Herbert 
E.  Hawkes  of  Columbia  University,  de- 
clared that  the  present  service  act  is 
"causing  confusion  among  college  stu- 
dents" and  that  it  wished  to  sec  this 
condition  rectified. 


WILLIAMS  IN  THE  WAR 


(Continued  from  page  4) 

is  passing  —  Just  this  and  more.  We 
eight  have  a  pretty  good  idea  of  at  least 
which  end  we  think  is  up. 

Duty  To  Take  Arms 

Not  so,  most  of  our  classmates  from 
California,  the  Mid-West,  and  even  Har- 
vard and  Yale.  They  don't  seem  to  be  very 
sure  exactly  why  they're  here.  Some 
quite  frankly  admit  it's  because  they'd 
like  anything  better  than  the  draft  army. 
Others  just  seem  to  be  following  the  drift 
of  the  typical  American:  aiding  defense 
but  never  questioning  "defense  of  what 
and  against  whom?"  I'd  like  to  see  any 
one  of  them  sit  through  one  year  of  classes 
with  Professor  Schuman,  Professor  New- 
hall,  Professor  Miller,  Max  Lerner,  Triple 
R  Brooks,  or  Dr.  Baxter  without  having  a 
pretty  clear  idea  of  what  his  role  should 
be  in  the  world  of  today  and  tomorrow  — 
w  ithout  realizing  that  each  and  every  man 
in  this  world  enj'>ying  the  fruits  ''f  freedom 
must  also  share  in  the  duty  implied  by  that 
freedom  to  take  arms  against  the  new 
barbarianism  sweeping  across  the  face 
of  this  earth. 

This  solid  intellectual  background  is 
what  even  one  year  at  Williams  College 
has  to  offer.  Even  in  the  Naval  Academy 
at  Annapolis  they're  beginning  to  realize 
the  emphasis  is  too  much  on  the  practical 
side.  Old-line  officers  are  complaining. 
To  be  a  "first  class  fighting  man"  we  have 
got  to  have  a  mental  equilibrium  —  an 
active  faith  in  our  way  of  life.  This  in  a 
word  is  what  a  liberal  arts  education  has 
to  offer  in  these  dramatic  times. 

Role  As  Citizen 

And  such  a  background  is  even  more 
essential  if  you  are  to  become  a  first  class 
citizen,  a  role  which  may  well  be  the  most 
important  one  you  or  any  one  else  will 
have  to  play. 

As  a  onetime  piesident  of  the  Associa- 
tion of  American  Rhodes  Scholars  said  in 
a  recent  letter  to  the  New  York  Times, 

" Let  the  majority  of   people  really 

want  to  control  needless  aggiession  by 
resisting  it,  and  the  means  will  be  readily 
created  appropriate  to  the  problem 
those  omissions  (failure  of  the  League  of 
Nations,  Briand-Kellogg  pact,  etc.)  aic 
to  be  laid  to  the  door  of  no  government, 
no  statesman,  no  diplonnt,  but  only  to 
those  people  of  the  world  who  w>nted 
peace  but  did  not  realize  the  price  they 

'ould  have  to  pay  for  it It  is  no  longer 

pdcalism  alone  which  we  summo".  It  is 
the  most  common-sense  interest-  in  our 
welfaie  —  a  principle  of  uncompromising 
resistance  to  deliberate,  unjust,  unpro- 
voked, unnecessary  aggression  on  human 

rights " 

Sincerely, 
DSM 


J.A.  RULES

sales  lists  kept  at  Walsh's  in  order  to 
make  sure  that  every  member  of  the 
Class  of  1945  had  purchased  a  freshman 
cap. 

Advisers  Given  Powers 

The  advisers  voted  to  accept  their 
present  rule  enforcement  powers  after  it 
was  offered  to  them  upon  the  recommen- 
dation of  the  Council  and  the  Class  of  1944. 
The  latter  decided  that  as  freshmen  they 
would  rather  have  their  rules  enforced  by 
junior  advisers  than  by  a  sophomore 
vigilante  committee. 

At  a  meeting  held  last  spring  this  year's 
sophomore  class  voted  to  keep  all  action 
in  the  coming  riot  away  from  college 
buildings  with  the  view  that  the  fight 
might  be  discontinued  by  the  adminis- 
tration in  the  same  manner  that  the  cane 
rush  was  abolished  by  President  Garfield 
in  1914. 

Much  Damage  in  Past 

Repeated  flooding  of  dormitories  and 
destruction  of  college  equipment  in  the 
form  of  broken  furniture  and  windows  in 
recent  years  made  some  restrictive  mea- 
sures imperative.  In  last  year's  encounter 
the  doors  of  the  Walden  theater  were 
broken  open  by  freshmen  in  pursuit  of 
sophomore  movie-goers. 

Several  plans  were  discussed  in  the 
spring  meeting  as  alternatives  to  the 
existing  one.  A  revival  of  the  tug-o-war 
of  the  1800's  in  which  each  class  tried  to 
pull  the  other  into  the  Green  River  was 
suggested.  Another  idea  was  a  modified 
game  of  soccer  with  a  medicine  ball  in 
which  each  class  would  attempt  to  carry 
the  ball  to  the  opposite  end  of  the  lab 
campus.  Unanimous  opinion  was  in  favor 
of  a  free-for-all  pant-spree  similar  to  those 
held  in  recent  years  with  no  restrictions 
other  than   it  be  on  the  open  campus.

DRIVING 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Acting  simultaneously  with  officials  at 
Amherst  and  Middlebury,  Dean  Gregcrsen 
wrote  the  upperclassmen  requesting  them 
to  leave  their  cars  at  home  in  an  effort  to 
help  reduce  the  gasoline  shortage  pro- 
claimed by  Federal  Fuel  Coordinator 
Harold  L.  Ickes.  Because  of  uncertainty 
over  the  seriousness  and  length  of  the 
shortage,  however,  Dean  Gicgersen  did 
not  go  as  far  as  the  Amherst  and  Middle- 
bury  officials  who  forbade  outright  the 
operation  of  cars  by  students  during  the 
academic  year. 

Activities  Require  Autos 

Response  to  the  Dean's  request  cannot 
be  accurately  measured  until  the  college 
year  is  under  way,  but  the  juniors  and 
seniois  who  wrote  asking  for  permission 
to  have  their  cars  at  college  this  year  in 
most  cases  gave  is  their  reason  for  needing 
a  car  extra-curricular  activities  and 
athletics.  None  wrote  that  they  felt 
that  a  car  was  necessary  to  get  to  and  from 
classes  and  fraternity  houses. 

Editorial  comment  on  Dean  Gregersen's 
action  in  eastern  newspapers  has  been 
favorable.  The  New  York  Herald  Tribune, 
in  commenting  on  the  effect  of  the  step  on 
students,  said  on  Sept  5,  "quite  incidental- 
ly, there  may  be  more  time  to  read,"  and 
"now  college  deans  hopefully  await  only 
what  mischief  the  boys  can  walk  into." 
On  Aug  21  the  Brockton  Enterprise  said, 
"a  bow  to  college  deans  for  taking  ad- 
vantage of  an  emergency  to  rid  themselves 
of  what  for  years  has  been  a  headache, 
cars  on  the  campus." 


Summer  faculty  shifts  have  resulted  in 
the  appointment  of  seven  new  members, 
including  replacements  for  Professors 
Enrique  S.  deLozada,  Robert  R.  R. 
Brooks,  and  Bertrand  Fox  who  are  on 
leave  of  absence  to  fill  defense  posts,  the 
office  of  President  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd, 
announced  today. 

As  a  result  of  the  recent  changes,  Jose 
Antonio  Arze,  noted  Bolivian  educator 
and  political  scientist,  will  serve  as  \igiting 
lecturer  in  Spanish  and  political  science 
while  Professor  deLozada  remains  active 
in  Nelson  Rockefeller's  office  on  Pan 
American  relations  in  Washington;  J. 
Raymond  Walsh  will  act  as  Lecturer  in 
Economics  to  replace  Dr.  Brooks,  who  is 
serving  as  CIO  representative  on  the  0PM 
Priorities  Board;  and  Richard  W.  Dittmer 
and  Eugene  S.  Klise  will  be  instructors  in 
economics  to  fill  vacancies  left  when 
Bertrand  Fox  and  Philip  H,  Coombs 
joined  the  0PM. 

Franklin  Returns 
Another  addition  to  the  faculty  is  pro- 
vided by  the  return  of  Albert  B.  Franklin, 
instructor  in  Romanic  Languages.  Mr. 
Franklin,  on  leave  of  absence  during  the 
past  year,  has  been  studying  South 
American  culture  in  Quito,  Ecuador. 
Mr.  Walsh  is  a  former  instructor  and 
tutor  in  economics  at  Harvard  who  has 
served  as  trial  examiner  for  the  National 
Labor  Relations  Board.  He  was  pro- 
fessor of  economics  and  chairman  of  the 
economics  department  at  Hobart  College 
before  coming  to  Williams,  and  is  the 
author  of  "The  CIO — Industrial  Unionism 
in  Action."  Graduated  from  Beloit  Col- 
lege in  1921,  he  received  his  M.  A.  from 
Harvard  in  1931  and  his  Ph.  D.  from  the 
same  institution  in  1934.  He  has  also 
acted  as  baritone  for  the  Chicago  Opera 
Company. 

Arze  Law  Authority 
Dr.  Arze  has  been  active  in  South 
American  education  since  1921.  Besides 
holding  many  educational  positions  since 
he  received  the  title  of  Bachelor  of  Science 
and  Arts  from  the  University  of  Cocha- 
bamba  in  Bolivia,  he  has  served  his

Cole  Porter  Presents 
260  Volumes  to  Library 

Gift      Includes      Works       of 
Many     Great     Composers 


Cole  Porter,  noted  composer  and 
lyricist,  has  given  the  Williams  College 
Library  one  hundred  and  sixty  bound 
volumes  of  musical  scores  and  over  one 
hundred  unbound  volumes,  according  to 
a  release  from  the  President's  Office  today. 

The  gift  includes  a  large  number  of  the 
works  of  Beethoven,  Mozart,  Schubert, 
Bach  and  other  great  composers.  Some 
of  the  scores  are  duplicates  and  can  be 
used  for  class  work.  Many  of  the  unbound 
modern  scores  are  European-printed  and 
are  particularly  valuable  since  the  war  has 
made  them  virtually  unobtainable  today. 
Bach  Collection  Completed 

While  most  of  the  collection  is  com- 
prised of  piano  scores  and  songs,  there  are 
also  a  few  full  orchestral  scores  and  some 
chamber  music.  Many  of  them  are  very 
old,  such  as  "The  Masque  Called  Alfred" 
by  Dr.  Thomas  Arne,  which  was  printed  in 
1740  and  is  an  interesting  example  of  the 
musical  typography  of  that  time. 

With  this  gift  the  Stetson  Library  now 
has  all  the  instrumental  works  of  Bach. 
Mr.  Porter's  donation  also  rounds  out  an 
already  extensive  musical  collection  at 
the  Library,  including  almost  2000  phono- 
graph records  and  an  assortment  of  scores 
and  books  given  by  Paul  Whiteman  and 
the  Carnegie  Corporation.  Mrs.  Cole 
Porter,  who  with  her  husband  now  resides 
in  Williamstown,  last  spring  gave  to  the 
Library  over  1100  books,  many  of  which 
deal  with  art  and  music.

Men  With  Stuff 

There  were  lots  of  people  around  here  last  year 
who  thought  that  it  was  pretty  hard  to  want  to  stick 
around,  while  the  world  got  messier  and  while  the 
armed  services  of  the  nation  needed  men. 

This  year  it  will  be  a  lot  tougher.  Because  the 
world  is  messier,  and  because  not  even  Mr.  Lindbergh 
can  be  stupid  enough  to  suppose  that  it  doesn't 
take  real  men  to  fight  a  shooting  war. 

This  year  it  will  be  a  lot  tougher,  because  there  is 
something  more  appealing  about  being  an  ensign  on 
the  aircraft  carrier  Ranger  than  in  putting  out  a 
college  newspaper  without  the  men  who  didn't  come 
back.  There  is  something  more  vital  about  learning 
to  fly  at  Pensaeola,  and  sinking  a  German  sub,  than 
in  piddling  with  Plutarch's  Lires  and  learning  the 
reasons  mountains  are  made. 

So  what? 

So,  we  haven't  any  more  excuse  than  we  ever  had 
for  not  working. 

So,  we've  got  a  few  more  good  reasons  for  lifting 
ourselves  off  our  tails,  for  growing  up,  for  equating 
work  with  college. 

It  is  going  to  take  strong  men  to  win  this  war,  and 
to  give  our  way  of  life  the  kind  of  lireak  it  deserves. 
Williams  men  in  the  Navy,  and  in  the  Army  and 
Marines,  who  have  been  called  to  service  are  nearer 
to  sacrificing  their  lives  than  we  are,  but  that  hardly 
means  that  tlicy  are  fighting  and  learning  to  fight  so 
we  can  drink  the  drinks,  cut  the  classes,  and  take  the 
weekends  they  can't. 

While  they  learn  how  to  be  soldiers  at  Camp  Devens 
and  Fort  Dix,  while  they  come  under  the  fire  of  Nazi 
sea  raiders  and  U-Boats,  it  would  be  rotten  for  us  not 
to  buckle  down  to  doing  our  college  work  with  sacrifices 
and  determination  equal  to  theirs.  It  is  true  that 
right  now  Fort  Dix  and  the  Ranqir  offer  the  hope 
for  American  victory;  l)ut  that  would  be  an  empty 
victory  if  it  were  to  be  victory  for  a  people  who,  for 
instance,  counted  their  college  years  in  terms  of 
shirked  responsibilities. 

If  you're  not  here  to  work,  then  you  really  ought  to 
get  out.  Playboys  and  country-clubbers  and  shirkers 
are  a  luxury  that  Williams  and  the  nation  could 
afford  in  peacetime;  they  make  pleasant  companions 
and  the  best  of  friends.  But,  especially  now,  it's 
not  as  important  that  you  be  funny  when  you're 
drunk,  as  it  is  that  you  work  with  the  same  kind  of 
stuff  as  your  friends  in  the  Army  and  Navy. 


On  Kissing  The  Cars  Good  bye 

In  view  of  Mr.  Ickes  "overenthusiastic"  handling  of 
the  Eastern  gasoline  situation,  it  is  not  surprising  that 
Dean  Gregersen  should  think  that  much  would  be 
gained  in  the  name  of  defense  if  Williams  upperclass- 
men  left  their  cars  at  home.  And  in  view  of  the  fact 
that  no  one  is  having  much  trouble  getting  as  much 
gas  as  he  wants,  it  is  not  surprising  that  undergrad- 
uates themselves  should  answer  the  Dean's  suggestion 
by  bringing  their  cars  back  to  college. 

Facts  —  thus  far  —  have  indicated  no  emergency 
to  justify  the  Dean's  request  that  Williams  men  leave 
their  cars  in  a  garage  at  home  or  sell  them,  Lieaving 
a  car  at  home  and  traveling  by  train  looks  extravagant 
and  unrealistic  to  the  student  who  counts  up  the  cost 
of  his  car,  his  insurance,  and  who  sees  every  other  car 
owner  indulging  in  an  unrestricted  gasoline  supply. 
And  selling  the  car  for  the  duration  of  a  temporary 
transportation  emergency  must  be  sweet  music  to 
the  ears  of  all  used  car  dealers. 

Mr.  Ickes'  bungling  and  Mr.  Gregersen's  letter, 
however,  are  not  without  their  commendable  features. 


They  have  certainly  drawn  attention  to  one  of  Wil- 
liams' most  degenerate  practices.  Nothing  is  quite 
so  indicative  of  how  lazy  and  weak  Williams  men  can 
really  he  as  the  parade  of  cars  from  upper  Main 
Street  to  classes  each  morning  or  the  traffic  jams  at 
Weston  Field  on  Saturdays,  or  the  fight  that  is  neces- 
.sary  to  find  a  parking  place  on  Spring  Street. 

Williamstown  is  not  so  big,  nor  Williams  men  so 
puny,  that  automobiles  could  not  be  dispensed  with 
altogether  within  the  limits  of  our  town.  And  the 
fact  is  that  local  gasoline  dealers  warn  that  there  is 
not  enough  gasoline  in  town  to  permit  undergraduates 
to  drive  to  classes  and  go  to  football  games  away  too. 

The  Undergraduate  Council  does  not  legislate  often, 
but  on  this  occasion  —  when  the  conservative  use  of 
gasoline  is  advisable  in  the  name  of  defense,  and  in  the 
name  of  making  the  local  supply  go  around  —  it 
should  take  action  to  restrict  driving  in  Williamstown. 
Not  wishy-washy  action,  like  asking  undergraduates 
to  cooperate  with  the  national  government  and  the 
college  administration,  but  definite  action  clearing 
the  streets  of  Williamstown  of  all  cars  not  on  their 
way  out  of  town,  or  not  operating  with  special  permit. 
Here  would  be  concrete  evidence  that  we  are  not  the 
self-indulging  children  that  many  consider  us. 


WILLIAMS 
IN  THE  WAR  1 


The  following  letter  was  written  by  David  S. 
Maclay  '42,  managing  editor  of  The  Recokd,  who 
this  week  became  an  Ensign  in  the  United  States 
Naval  Reserve,  and  who  on  October  1  will  report  for 
active  duty  with  the  Navy.  It  is  what  we  hope  will 
be  the  first  of  many  letters  to  be  printed  in  this 
column  from  Williams  men  in  the  services,  and  from 
Dave  in  particular  whose  loss  to  The  Record  has 
meant  a  special  gain  for  the  Navy. 


Hello  Freshmen: 

If  you  don't  think  this  war  against  Hitler  is  your 
war  just  as  much  as  anybody  else's,  then  don't  read 
this.  I'm  writing  to  tell  you  new  Williams  men  what 
one  phase  of  national  defense  —  the  V-7  Naval  Re- 
serve Program  —  is  like  and  how  a  Williams  education 
seems  to  fit  into  the  picture. 

Everyone,  especially  you,  wants  to  know  what's  the 
sense  of  going  to  college  in  uncertain  times  like  these. 
Exactly  what  good  are  two  or  three  years  in  a  "dusty 
town  beneath  old  Greylock"  going  to  do  you  if  you're 
going  to  he  called  into  active  military  service  before 
your  graduation? 

Well,  let's  see.  In  three  years  at  Williams  I  was  on 
time  to  class  a  grand  total  of  exactly  seven  times. 
For  the  rest  of  the  990  odd  classes  I  was  late  —  with 
an  ironclad  excuse,  but  late  just  the  same. 
Late  —  Court-Martial 

Out  here  in  the  Reserve  Midshipman  School  at 
Northwestern  University  where  in  the  current  class 
eight  Williams  men  are  studying  to  become  naval 
officers,  if  you  arrive  any  place  one-half  a  minute  after 
you're  meant  to  be  there,  you're  late.  And  if  you're 
late  it's  practically  a  court-martial  and  hanging-at-thc- 
yardarm-at-sunrise  offense  —  hari-kari  is  by  far  the 
easiest  way  out. 

As  for  being  absent;  even  a  lunatic  wouldn't 
contemplate  such  a  maneuver.  One-half  our  final 
mark  is  scholastic  and  the  other  half  is  "Aptitude," 
and  one  absence  from  a  meal  muster,  class  muster, 
drill  muster,  etc.  muster,  etc.,  adds  up  to  a  flunk  in 
aptitude.  No  excuses  are  accepted  —  if  you're 
absent,  you're  absent. 

It  doesn't  seem  possible  that  last  winter  we  were 
complaining  to  Dean  Gregersen  and  the  college  author- 
ities because  our  upperclass  unlimited  cut  privilege 
had  been  reduced  to  an  average  of  only  three  cuts  a 
class  per  semester  —  "cuts"  just  ain't  in  the  Navy 
vocabulary. 

'We  Do  The  Dusting' 

At  Williams  we  thought  it  was  tough  getting  up  for 
anything  as  early  as  an  8  o'clock  class,  here  we  get  up 
at  6:20  A.M.  "and  like  it."  Here  we  have  four  one- 
hour  classes,  six  days  a  week  with  study  hour  between 
and  every  night;  liberty  for  one  hour  a  day  (4:30  to 
5:30),  lights  out  at  10:30  --  and  Bennington  1,000 
miles  away.  At  Williams  we  griped  if  the  P-Lady 
didn't  make  our  bed  too  well,  or  pick  up  clothes  and 
dust  left  strewn  about  our  Sage  Hall  domicile.  Here 
we  have  to  make  our  beds  without  a  wrinkle,  comers 
tucked  in  at  exactly  45  degrees  measured  with  a 
protractor,  and  here  ux  do  the  dusting  —  "It's  good 
training  for  you,  Mac." 

Quite  a  contrast!  What  good  indeed  loos  three 
years  in  Williamstown!  Just  this:  the  eight  Williams 
men  here,  (four  graduates  and  four  seniors),  got 
grades  averaging  3.2  as  opposed  to  the  school  average 
of  2.7  in  a  marking  system  where  4.0  is  perfect  and  2.5

In  the  regular  Army  are  football  star 
Charles  R.  Brothwell  Jr.  '42  and  brilliant 
trackman  William  L  McClelland  '43,  who 
were  drafted,  and  William  K.  Moffat  '42, 
who  enlisted.  John  R.  Lehman  '42,  after 
serving  in  a  Civilian  Military  Training 
Camp  during  the  summer,  has  earned  an 
officer's  commission  in  the  Army.

William  J.  Johnson  '42,  president  of 
WMS,  is  working  on  Construction  Engi-

William  B.  Scarborough  '42  is  a  student 
at  the  Roosevelt  School  of  Flying  in  New

Williams'  lone  Yogi,  has  left  college  to  try 
for  a  job  with  Nelson  Rockefeller's  Office 
of  Cultural  and  Commercial  Coordination 
among  the  American  Republics. 

Two  losses  which  may  or  may  not  be 
linked  with  the  defense  effort  are  the 
departure  of  George  F.  Floyd  and  William 
L.  Sammons  both  42,  for  M.  I.  T.,  where 
they  will  pursue  studies  vitally  connected 
with    the    technical    aspects    of    defense. 

Greenland,  Head  Deferred 

The  list  of  men  who  are  definitey  not 
to  return  this  semester  is  probably  still 
incomplete,  for  there  are  several  border- 
line draft  cases  who  won't  know  whether 
they'll  be  back  until  they  have  attended 
their  first  class.  Several  men  have  been 
given  temporary  draft  deferments,  in- 
cluding Jack  K.  Greenland  '42,  business 
manager  of  Cap  and  Bells,  and  Sanford  B. 
Head,  Cap  and  Bells  president.  The 
apparent  leniency  of  most  local  draft 
boards,  however,  has  led  many  campus 
observers  to  believe  that,  for  a  time  at 
least,  the  draft  will  not  assume  the 
proportions  of  a  major  threat  to  Williams 
enrollment.

By  Fhed  Baiines  '43 

On  September  3,  Cole  Field,  dead  a 
year  to  the  thud  of  footballs,  sprang  into 
life  as  forty-two  men  clad  only  in  T-shirts 
and  shorts  ran  and  cavorted  on  the  grassy 
fields.  And  with  Head  Coach  Charlie 
Caldwell's  opening  greeting,  what  is  to 
be  Williams'  1941  football  team  started 
on  its  initial  practice. 

Since  that  date  four  more  players  have 
reported  to  the  Williams  mentor  to  bring 
his  roster  to  forty-six  men,  and  from  this 
group  will  be  fashioned  the  eleven  that  is 
to  face  Middlebury  in  the  opener  two 
weeks  hence. 

3  Key  Men  Lost 

The  loss  of  three  key  men  has  mo- 
mentarily darkened  the  horizon.  Captain- 
elect  Jack  Daly,  Bill  Forbes,  star  back, 
and  Chug  Brothwell,  a  varsity  end  of  two 
seasons'  experience,  are  among  the  miss- 
ing as  Caldwell's  new  edition  starts  to 
take  form  on  the  Cole  Field  presses. 

But  big  Bill  Courter  has  been  shifted 
into  center  to  bolster  Daly's  loss,  and  the 
end  squad  is  full  of  capable  men. 

Holden,  Hayes  Look  Good 

As  a  climax  runner,  Forbes  had  no  peer 
among  Williams  backs  last  year,  and  Cald- 
well may  have  difficulty  in  finding  another 
consistently  brilliant  break-away  runner. 
If  any  man  is  to  fill  Forbes'  old  shoes,  he 
will  probably  be  either  Herb  Holden, 
playing  his  last  year  of  Williams  football, 
or  else  Gunnar  Hayes,  a  sophomore  flash

up  from  the  1944  team.  Should  both  of 
these  men  function  well,  Coach  Caldwell 
may  have  a  backfield  as  good  if  not  better 
than  most  the  Eph  team  will  meet  this 
fall. 

Not  only  did  the  eleven  lose  Daly, 
Forbes,  and  Brothwell,  who  has  been 
drafted,  but  also  Del  de  Windt  a  powerful 
200-pound  back  who  could  both  kick 
and  run.  The  championship  line  is  also 
minus  Jock  Rice,  tackle,  Bob  Herguth, 
captain  and  all-Little  Three  guard,  and 
Bud  Detmer,  Herguth's  running-mate  in

start  with  a  warm-up  drill  Saturday  after- 
noon, freshman  fall  sports  swung  into  high 
gear  Monday  afternoon  as  Coach  Clarence 
Chaffee's  yearling  booters  also  reported 
on  Cole  Field.  Cross  country,  under 
Coach  Tony  Plansky,  is  not  due  to  start 
yet. 

In  sharp  contrast  to  the  seventv-five 
candidates    who    answered    the    call    to 
freshman   football   last   fall,   only   thirty 
(Sec  FROSH  SPORTS  page  10) 

Prospects  Bright    for 
Experienced  Harriers 

Bob    Griggs    Leads    Veteran 
Cross  -  Country      Runners 


With  only  one  serious  vacancy  on  last 
year's  team  to  fill,  Coach  Anthony  Plansky 
will  put  a  steady,  veteraJi  cross-country 
team  in  the  fiekl  this  season.  The 
harriers,  paced  by  Captain  Bob  Griggs, 
give  promise  of  one  of  their  most  suc- 
cessful years. 

Graduating  Captain  Tom  Lena's  loss 
wilt  be  felt,  as  will  that  of  Dave  Maclay 
and  freshman  star  Pete  Swayze,  but  the 
'41  team  will  be  a  better-balanced,  steadier 
team  than  last  year's  squad. 

'44  Dalagation  Larg* 

Plansky  will  bank  on  Griggs,  Brew 
Chapman,  Bill  Van  Loon,  Art  Richmond, 
and  junior  stars  Ken  Moore  and  Johnny 
Fuller  in  addition  to  sophomores  John 
Neilson,  Maurice  Gqodbody,  Tom  Hender- 
son, and  Ross  MacDonald,  who  will  see 
varsity   competition   for   the  first  time. 

Neilson  appears  to  be  the  outstanding 
candidate  from  last  year's  freshman  team 
which  took  the  Little  Three  Triangular 
Meet  here  last  fall  by  a  seven-point 
margin. 

Out  For  Comabaok 

The  varsity  will  be  out  to  avenge  the 
Little  Three  defeat  at  the  hands  of  Wes- 
leyan last  year,  and  are  pointing  for  top 


honors  in  the  traditional  meet  this  fall. 
The  Wesleyan  harriers  displayed  individual 
brilliance  and  a  well-balanced  squad  on 
the  Taconic  course  to  defeat  Amherst  and 
Williams,  22-33-65,  and  dethrone  the 
defending  Eph  champions. 


Facing  the  dual  problems  of  graduation 
and  the  draft.  Uncle  Ed  Bullock  yesterday 
called  out  all  varsity  soccer  candidates 
for  the  first  official  practice  of  the  1941 
season  in  preparation  for  the  opener  with 
Springfield,  October  4. 

The  one  bright  outlook  in  an  otherwise 
clouded  future  for  the  booters  is  the  return 
of  Captain  Joe  Cochran  from  a  sumnni 
with  the  marines  to  take  over  his  regulai 
fullback  position.  On  the  other  hanti, 
little  Tommy  Ward,  star  of  last  yearV 
2-0  victory  over  Amherst,  will  report  for 
active  duty  with  the  Navy  on  October  1. 
Binnie  Barnes,  Johnny  Gibson,  and  Hcd- 
ley  Reynolds,  all  starters  in  the  defeat 
of  the  Lord  Jeffs  last  year,  will  be  on  hand, 
Lowell   Oats  Deferment 

On  the  red  side  of  the  ledger,  of  the 
eleven  starters  last  fall,  five  have  been 
lost  to  Coach  Bullock  through  graduation. 
Goalie  Norm  Lowell's  induction  into  the 
army  has  been  deferred,  but  forwards  Da\  e 
Fitzgerald,  Jim Fowle,  and  Lanny  Holnnb. 
and  halfbacks  Bill  Allen  and  Pete  McConili 
have  all  been  graduated. 

Furthermore,  the  team  will  have  in 
maintain  midseason  form  throughout  ^ili 
of  its  six  encounters  in  a  schedule  which 
offers  no  breathers  for  Captain  Cochran's 
team. 

Coach  Bullock's  biggest  problem  will 

probably  be  to  find  replacements  for  his 

three  star  senior  forwards  of  last  year, 

Fitzgerald,     Fowle,     and     Holmes.     Km

Brown,AlumniCoiitinue 
Study  of  House  Costs 

Cooperative    Management 
Work   'Advances  Slowly' 


Working  steadily  through  the  summer 
months,  Williams'  Fraternity  Alumni 
Committee  has  already  studied  and  di- 
gested all  facts  and  figures  depicting  the 
linancial  life  of  the  college's  sixteen  social 
units,  Chairman  Fred  E.  Linder  '12 
revealed  last  week.  From  a  summary 
chart  of  this  data,  collected  from  house 
treasurers  last  June  and  tabulated  by 
Earle  0.  Brown,  college  assistant  treasurer, 
the  FAC  is  now  preparing  to  reduce 
fraternity  costs  on  those  items  which  the 
chart  shows  are  unnecessarily  high. 
Proposal  Coming  Soon 

Mr.  Brown  declared  last  Friday  that 
the  FAC  will  be  able  to  make  "at  least  one 
concrete  proposal"  to  the  Williams  social 
units  before  the  end  of  December.  The 
FAC's  Committee  on  Food  Costs  and 
Dining  Room  Operations  has  already  met 
twice  with  Mr.  Brown  at  the  Williams 
Club  in  New  York,  and  it  is  believed  that 
this  committee,  under  Chairman  W. 
Lansing  Chapman  '10,  may  make  the 
proposal  mentioned  by  Mr.  Brown. 

At  his  New  York  office  last  week,  Mr. 
Linder  said  the  committee's  work  was 
"advancing  slowly  but  satisfactorily"  in 
its  drive  to  bring  Cooperative  Management 
to  this  campus.  The  complexity  of  the 
financial  problems  involved  necessarily 
makes  FAC  progress  slow,  Mr.  Linder 
asserted.  He  regretted  that  weekly  press 
releases  to  the  undergraduate  body  were 
impossible  because  the  plan  which  the 
FAC  evolves  will  alone  constitute  "real 
and  good  news." 

Mr.  Brown  said  the  alumni  were  "very 
pleased"  with  the  cooperation  accorded 
them  by  the  Williams  social  units.  He 
said  his  chart  indicated  all  fraternities 
are  faced  with  the  same  financial  diffi- 
culties and  needless  expenses,  adding  that 
for  this  reason  all  the  social  units  "will 
doubly  welcome  the  Cooperative  Manage- 
ment plan  now  being  developed  by  the 
FAC." 


Technical   Staff    Finishes 
'Streamlining'  of  WMS 

Members  of  the  technical  staff  of  WMS 
have  been  laboring  in  the  studios  atop 
Jesup  Hall  since  September  3  in  an  effort 
to  bring  the  station  up  to  the  level  of  the 
best  collegiate  broadcasting  networks  in 
the  country.  The  "streamlining"  of  WMS, 
under  the  direction  of  Ben  R.  Schneider, 
Jr.  '42,  head  of  the  technical  board,  and 
John  O.  Copley  '44,  included  an  extension 
of  the  network's  coverage  and  the  instal- 
lation of  completely  new  equipment. 
New  Equipment  Installed 

In  addition  to  either  rebuilding  or  re- 
placing all  of  last  year's  apparatus, 
Schneider  announced  that  the  station  will 
once  again  resume  the  policy  discon- 
tinued last  December  of  operating  on  one 
frequency. 

WMS  will  continue  broadcasting  from 
5:15  to  6:15  in  the  evening  and  from  7:30 
to  11:00  at  night;  however,  during  this 
week  the  station  will  maintain  a  schedule 
from  8:00  to  12:00  for  the  benefit  of 
freshmen  during  prowling.  On  September 
22,  WMS  will  resume  normal  hours  with 
full  campus  coverage.  Two  changes  in 
management  of  the  station  have  been 
announced.  Harold  T.  Johnson,  Jr.  '43 
has  been  elected  to  the  business  manager- 
ship, and  since  William  J.  Johnson  '42, 
president  of  the  network,  has  not  returned 
to  college,  an  election  will  be  held  to 
determine  his  successor. 


Bowdoin  Dance  to  Help 
Finance  Training  Table 

Confronted  by  more  scholarship  men 
than  ever  before,  this  year's  training 
table,  under  the  direction  of  Manager 
Charles  H.  Tower,  faces  a  financial 
problem.  As  an  endeavor  to  make  both 
ends  meet  a  committee  has  been  formed 
that  will  hold  a  dance  the  weekend  of  the 
Bowdoin  game,  October  18. 

Since  the  .training  table  is  not  even 
recognized  by  the  college,  the  necessary 
apportioning  of  twenty-four  full-time 
waiting  jobs  to  the  fifty-two  men  eating 
there  is  entirely  up  to  Coach  Charley 
Caldwell,  Treasurer  Alonzo  G.  Hearne. 
Jr.  '42  and  Tower.  At  present  Manager 
Tower  believes  some  of  the  scholarship 
men  will  be  forced  to  wait  in  the  houses, 
in  .this  way  keeping  them  from  eating 
with  the  rest  of  the  squad. 

Entertainment  of  some  sort  will  be  a 
feature  of  the  evening  according  to  Tower's 
dance  committee  •  which  is  composed  of 
Theodore  F.  Carter,  Herbert  Holden,  Jr., 
and  Warren  G.  Hunke  '42,

ORIENTATION 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

A.  Garfield,  Fuel  Administrator  of  World 
War  I,  revealed  he  is  trying  to  assume  his 
share  of  that  obligation  as  Director  of 
Analysis  and  Research  in  the  Office  of 
Coordinator  of  Information  atWashington. 

Do  'Today's  Job  Today' 

Second,  the  President  stressed  the 
undergraduate  obligation  of  performing 
"today's  job  today"  —  despite  those  who 
chant  the  "dangerous  phrase:  'eat,  drink, 
and  be  merry,  for  tomorrow  we  go  to 
war.'  "  Dr.  Baxter  lauded  the  1938 
REconn  editorials  of  James  M.  Burns 
'39,  then  editor  and  now  presidential 
assistant  here,  for  their  condemnation  of 
the  "educational  waste"  which  war  jitters 
and  consequent  undergraduate  irrespons- 
ibility manufacture.  Mr.  Baxter  re- 
iterated his  plea  of  last  spring  that  under- 
graduates, until  called  to  the  colors,  can 
make  their  best  contribution  to  America's 


democracy  by  doing  their  job  at  Williams 
as  efficiently  as  possible. 

The  President  placed  both  these  obli- 
gations above  the  immediate  exigencies  of 
the  hour,  asserting  that  susceptibility  to 
propaganda  and  irresponsibility  brought 
about  by  uncertainty  of  the  future  under- 
mine "any  democracy  — at  any  time,  at 
any  place  — ■  whether  at  peace  or  at  war." 
America's  failure  to  live  up  to  these  two 
obligations  will  imperil  its  very  existence 
as  free  men,  for  bemuddled  public  opinion 
and  citizens  loo  soft  to  defend  their  own 
democracy  will  be  the  result  of  that 
failure.  Dr.  Baxter  said. 

Other  Officers  Introduced 

Other  members  of  the  administration 
who  participated  in  the  Saturday  program 
included  Earle  0.  Brown,  college  assistant 
treasurer;  Edwin  Holmes,  placement 
director  who  led  the  audience  in  singing 
The  Moutiliiins  at  the  end  of  the  program; 
Dr.  Edwin  A.  Locke,  director  of  health  and 
athletics;  Professor  Richard  A.  Newhall, 
chairman  pro  tempore  of  the  faculty  and 
acting  president  of  the  college  while  Dr. 
Baxter  is  at  the  national  capitol;  the 
Reverend  A.  Grant  Nobel,  college  chaplin; 
Albert  V.  Osterhout,  graduate  manager  of 
athletics;  William  G.  Perry,  assistant  dean; 
and  A.  Barr  Snively,  Jr.,  freshman  foot-' 
ball  coach. 

Baxters  Give  Tea 

The  program  for  Freshman  Week  will 
continue  through  Saturday.  On  Sunday 
the  men  of  1945  were  entertained  at  tea 
by  President  and  Mrs.  Baxter  at  their 
home  on  Main  Street,  and  yesterday  they 
met  their  faculty  advisers  in  individual 
conferences.  English  and  French  place- 
ment tests,  as  well  as  a  freshman  orien- 
tation program  in  Stetson  Library,  will 
occupy  much  of  the  freshmen's  time  until 
their  class  schedules  are  distributed 
Saturday  morning  before  the  opening 
college  assembly,  which  is  scheduled  for 
Saturday  at  1 :30  p.  m.

Hawaiian  Trip  on  Schooner  'Invader' 
Gives  Bud  Brown  Dime  Novel  Thrills 


More  tall  talcs  than  new  freshmen 
invade  the  campus  at  summer's  end,  but 
for  adventure  on  the  high  seas  that  reads 
like  a  dime-novel  thriller,  Richard  M. 
Brown  '43  has  no  rivals  to  date.  And 
Bud's  tall  tale  is  true. 

The  touble  all  started  as  the  136-foot 
schooner  Invader,  sailing  out  of  Hawaiian 
waters  on  the  return  leg  of  a  very  con- 
ventional cruise  with  fourteen  passengers 
and  a  crew  of  six  college  men,  including 
Bud  Brown,  lost  the  use  of  its  generator, 
wireless,  and  engine. 

No  Doctor  in  House 

One  of  the  passengers  helped  things 
along  by  having  an  attack  of  appendicitis 
two  days  out.  No  doctor  was  on  board, 
so  Bud  packed  the  ailing  man  in  a  bed 
of  ice  "and  prayed." 

Three  days  out,  the  Invader  barely 
missed  running  down  "an  unidentified 
submarine"  which  suddenly  appeared  off 
the  starboard  bow. 

Bud  Escapes  Injury 

Four  days  out,  one  of  the  passengers 
tossed  a  firecracker  into  a  screen  door, 
and  a  piece  of  wire  lodged  in  Bud's  eye. 
The  ship's  cook  pinch-hitted  as  doctor, 
pulling  the  wire  out  of  his  eye  with  a  pair 
of  engineer's  pliers.  'Nothing  vital'  was 
injured. 

Five  days  out,  a  man  was  knocked  over- 
board by  a  hard  wave  into  shark-infested 
waters.  Only  the  quick  action  of  a  girl 
who  was  standing  nearb\'  saved  him,  for 


she  threw  the  drowning  passenger  a 
life-preserver  before  the  schooner  had 
sailed  out  of  reach. 

Food  Runs  Out 

Six  days  out,  the  ship  was  becalmed. 
Lacking  motor  and  wireless,  the  twenty- 
one  vacationers  were  helpless.  Food  and 
water  ran  low  because  the  captain  had 
failed  to  provide  rations  for  more  than 
a  fourteen-day  trip  —  and  they  took 
seventeen  days  to  make  California.  Brown 
and  the  crew  lived  for  four  days  on  apricots 
and  a  single  glass  of  water  every  twenty- 
four  hours. 

Gale  Follows  Calm 

Finally  wind  came,  on  the  fifteenth 
day  out  of  Hawaii  —  wind  that  blew  at 
ninety  miles  an  hour,  and  forced  the 
Invader  to  drift  helplessly  through  the 
mine-infested  waters  outside  San  Fran- 
cisco's harbor. 

It  was  the  Coast  Guard  who  came  to 
their  rescue,  after  the  gale  subsided  on  the 
seventeenth  day.  In  San  Francisco, 
Brown  ordered  a  large  steak  dinner,  made 
plans  to  take  his  next  vacation  cruise  in 
Central  Park.

were  on  hand  to  greet  head  coach  Snively 
and  assistants  Ted  McCann  '42,  who  is 
prevented  by  injuries  from  playing 
varsity  football,  and  Tom  Buffinton  '44, 
a  transfer  who  played  varsity  at  Hiram 
College  last  fall  Snively  blamed  the 
shortage  on  a  mixup  in  dates,  stating  that 
the  squad  would  undoubtedly  be  con- 
siderably augmented  by  late  arrivals. 
Three  Captain*  Report 
Although  it  is  impossible  to  know  much 
about  the  squad  at  the  very  start  of  the 
season,  Shively  stated  that  there  seems  to 
be  a  dearth  of  guards  and  centers,  with 
plenty  of  tackle  and  backfield  mateiial. 
The  candidates  include  three  former 
schoolboy  captains,  namely  Adrian  Tap- 
scott  of  Kent,  a  tackle.  Carl  Gruber,  who 
played  at  Exeter  last  year  after  captain- 
ing East  High  in  Buffalo,  and  Tracy 
McFarlan,  of  Brunswick  School. 

The  1945  outfit  plays  a  four-game 
schedule,  opening  October  2S  against 
Choate,  at  Wallingford,  and  then  facing 
Norwich,  Wesleyan  and  Amheist  frosh 
on  successive  Saturdays.  Last  year's 
freshmen  defeated  Choate  and  Wesleyan, 
but  lost  to  Amherst  for  their  only  defeat 
in  a  five-game  schedule. 

Boynton  Sends  Prot£ge 
Names  well  known  to  Williams  foot- 
ball are  represented  on  the  1945  squad. 
John  Brown,  of  Oswego  High,  is  the 
brother  of  Ross  and  Lyman  Brown,  who 
starred  heie  some  years  ago,  while  Johnny 
Gamble,  of  Peacock  Military  Academy  in 
Texas,  was  sent  to  Williams  by  Benny 
Boynton,  one  of  the  Purple's  football 
immortals. 

Coach  Snively  plans  to  devote  the  re- 
mainder af  this  week  mainly  to  con- 
ditioning exercises  to  get  his  men  in  trim, 
and  next  week  contict  work  will  start. 
Snively  urged  all  freshmen  inteiested  in 
football  to  come  out  for  the  team,  stating 
that  all  will  be  welcomed  whether  or  not 
they  received  a  letter  inviting  them  to 
appear  for  the  first  practice. 

Soccer  Liats  4  Games 
Coach  Clarence  Chaffee's  freshman 
soccer  hopefuls  reported  yesterday  for 
the  first  time,  faced  with  a  tough  schedule 
of  four  games.  Last  year's  frosh  hooters, 
Little  Three  runners-up,  won  one,  tied 
one,  and  lost  two  in  a  four-game  slate. 
Plans  for  freshman  cross  country  are 
not  as  yet  complete,  according  to  Coach 
Tony  Plansky.  However,  it  is  expected 
that  intensive  drills  will  start  late  in 
September.  Last  year  the  yeailing 
harriers  won  the  Little  Thiee  crown.

the  center  of  the  line. 

Yet,  the  aggregation  that  is  today  tear- 
ing up  the  Cole  Field  sod  bodes  little  but 
trouble  for  1941  opponents.  At  present, 
Bob  Wallace  and  Fran  Dolan  are  on  the 
flanks,  while  Hugo  Oswald  and  Ed 
Callahan  are  playing  tackle.  Ralph  Renzi 
and  Med  Hall  fill  the  guard  posts  with 
Courier  at  center. 

But  Line  Coach  Dick  Colman  will 
probably  have  to  find  a  place  for  Colby 
Wilson,  who  has  shown  up  well  at  tackle 
recently,  and  Al  Hearne,  veteran  end,  who 
although  late  in  returning  for  practice 
has  already  displayed  much  of  his  1940 
form.  Also,  the  tackle  positions  are 
materially  strengthened  by  the  return  of 
giant  Stu  Lare  from  a  summer  baseball 
job. 

Backfield  Coach  Fielding  Simmons 
has  to  date  placed  the  veteransCy  Morgan, 
Marsh  Hannock,  and  Herb  Holden  in  the 
backfield,  and  has  selected  Hayes  to  be 
their  fourth.  In  the  early  scrimmages  it 
is  Morgan  who  is  doing  the  quarterback- 
ing. 


This  season  Princeton  returns  to  the 
Williams  schedule  for  the  first  time  since 
1939  wheti  the  Tiger  clawed  the  Ephs 
26-6.  Northeastern  is  another  new  face 
on  the  Williams  scene  this  fall  as  the 
Boston  team  replaces  Buffalo. 


SOCCER 

(Continued  from  page  6) 
Cresson  and  Gibson,  have  had  experience 
in  the  positions,  but  Bullock  will  have  to 
unearth  another  three  or  four  forwards 
in  order  to  have  a  successful  team. 

The  halfback  situation  is  somewhat 
better  with  Hedley  Reynolds,  Carter 
Hall,  and  Larry  Thompson,  all  veterans 
of  last  year's  campaign,  available.  Barms 
will  probably  join  Cochran  in  the  full- 
back positions  which  will  bolster  the  de- 
fense considerably.

Priorities      on      Steel       Slow 
up    Work    on    New    Wing 


Its  construction  held  up  over  a  month 
by  national  defense  priorities,  the  $100,000 
brick  addition  to  the  Thompson  Chemical 
Laboratory  will  soon  begin  to  take  shape 
with  workmen  starting  today  to  erect  the 
long-awaited,  specially-made  steel  girders 
which  arrived  in  Williamstown  over  ihe 
weekend.  Since  the  OPM  has  given  the 
wing  a  high  A-2  rating.  Prof.  John  F. 
King  stated  \esterday  that  from  now  on  he 
would  have  no  difficulty  in  pncuring  the 
steel  and  he  predicted  that  the  addition 
would  be  completed  by  lh<'  liegliining  of 
the  second  semester. 

Chemistry  Enrollment  Up 

In  view  of  the  steadily  Increasing  en- 
rollment in  the  chemistry  courses,  at  their 
meeting  last  spring,  the  Board  of  Trustees 
appropriated  the  necessary  funds  for  the 
addition,  thus  solving  the  problem  of  over- 
crowding in  the  department.  Contrac- 
tors for  the  building  of  this  three  story 
connecting  link  between  the  chemistry 
and  biology  laboratories  were  Harding 
and  Seaver  of  Pittslield. 


According  lo  the  plans  drawn  up  last 
spring,  the  basenieiU  of  the  addition  will 
contain  a  laboratory  for  organic  chemistry, 
large  enough  toaccommodate  fifty  students, 
together  with  a  classroom,  an  otlicc,  and 
small  research  laboratories.  A  lecture 
room  with  a  capacity  of  ninety  students, 
another  ofiice,  and  a  small  laboratory  will 
occup>'  the  second  floor. 

The  tcip  floor  of  the  new  $100,000 
ailditiim  will  contain  a  new  laboratory  for 
seniors  taking  Chemistry  9-10,  an  office, 
and  two  smaller  laboratories.  The  old 
organic  chemistry  laboratory  will  be  used 
for  the  surplus  of  students  in  Chemistr>' 
1-2  and  la-2a,  and  the  laboratory  on  the 
third  floor  of  the  present  building,  some- 
what eidargeil,  will  serve  all  students  in 
Chemistr\   .^-4  and  5-6.

Daarfiald  Sends  21 

Two  hundred  twenty-one  members  of 
194S,  seventy-eight  per  cent  of  the  class, 
came  to  Williams  from  private  schools 
while  the  remaining  sixty-three  entered 
directly  from  public  high  schools.  Deer- 
field  kept  top  ranking  among  the  prep 
schools  for  the  third  year  by  placing 
twenty-one  students  while  Choate  was 
second    again    with    fourteen    freshmen. 

Since  the  class  is  much  too  large  to  room 
in  the  freshman  quadrangle  alone,  rooms 
have  been  provided  in  East  College, 
Fayerweather  and  Berkshire  Halls.  The 
Taconic  Inn  houses  several  students, 
another  group  is  living  on  North  Street, 
and  four  boys  are  rooming  with  Coach 
Charlie  Caldwell  on  Hoxscy  Street. 

All  Students  to  Receive 
Pamphlet  of  Regulations 

In  an  effort  to  clear  up  the  ob.scurity 
that  in  past  years  has  surrounded  college 
rules,  the  Dean's  Office  has  recently 
published  a  pamphlet  entitled  "Regula- 
tions of  Williams  College"  which  is  to  be 
distributed  in  the  near  future  to  all  under- 
graduates. Dealing  not  only  with  college 
rules,  this  booklet,  conceived  by  William 
G.  Perry,  newly  appointed  Assistant  to 
the  Dean,  also  contains  a  calendar  and  a 
time  sheet  to  aid  students  in  planning 
assignments,  and  a  chart  for  recording 
cuts. 

Cuttmg  Penalties  Clarified 

The  principal  change  in  this  year's  set 
of  regulations  is  a  clarification  of  the 
penalties  for  overcutting,  Mr.  Perry 
stated.  In  previous  years  the  penalty'  was 
too  much  at  the  discretion  of  the  discipli- 
nary officer,  he  continued,  but  this 
arbitrary  measure  is  eliminated  by  the 
establishment  of  definite  penalties. 

For  consecutive  absences  an  offender 
is  now  placed  on  "no-cuts"  for  two  weeks, 
while  the  punishment  for  over-cutting  and 
cutting  the  final  class  before  and  the  first 
class  afher  all  vacations  is  a  month  of 
compulsory  attendance.  Assistant  Dean 
Perry  indicated  that  he  also  intended  to 
standardize  the  punishment  for  those  who 
infringed  while  on  "no-cuts". 

Students  to  Record  Cuts 

To  prevent  undergraduates  from  over- 
cutting  unconciously,  they  will  now  be 
required  to  keep  a  record  of  their  absences 
on  a  chart  in  the  back  of  the  pamphlet. 
No  information  on  cutting  will  be  given 
out  by  the  Dean's  Office  to  any  student 
except  upon  the  presentation  of  his  own 
record. 

Mr.  Perry  expressed  the  hope  that 
students  who  were  troubled  with  organ- 
izing their  studying  or  with  any  other 
problem  would  feel  free  to  consult  him. 
This,  he  emphasized,  would  be  taken  only 
as  "an  omen  that  they  are  trying  to  ini- 
prove  themselves."

Williams  to  Face 
Middlebury  Eleven 
In  Opening  Battle 


Every  Senior  on  Squad 
to  Captain  Team  Once 
in  Eight-Game  Schedule 


Surrounded  by  its  traditional  aura  of 
optimism,  Williams'  as  yet  untested  foot- 
ball team  will  open  its  1941  campaign  to- 
morrow at  two  o'clock  when  Middlebury's 
Panthers  roll  into  town  for  the  annual 
game  on  Weston  F-'ield.  t 

With  Captail-elect  Jack  Daly  out  of 
college,  the  squad  has  hit  on  a  plan  of  hav- 
ing each  one  of  the  eight  seniors  on  the 
squad  act  as  captain  in  each  of  the  eight 
games  on  the  schedule.  Tomorrow  Johnny 
Irwin  will  take  over  to  lead  the  team 
against  the  invaders,  headed  by  co- 
captains  Tony  Winshinski  and  John 
Prukop.  On  successive  Saturdays,  Hug(> 
Oswald  will  be  captain  against  Princeton, 
Ed  Callahan  against  Northeastern,  Cy 
Morgan  against  Bowdoin,  Al  Hearne 
against  Tufts,  Marsh  Ilannock  against 
Union,  Med  Hall  against  Wesleyan,  and 
Herb  Holden  against  Amherst. 
Holden  Insured 

Biggest  loss  suffered  so  fai  in  the  prc- 
campaign  scrimmages  is  Hoklcn  who  re- 
ceived a  hip  injury  in  a  recent  scrimmage, 
and  will  not  be  available  for  the  oijener. 
The  triple-threat  back  has  been  in  uniform 
daily,  but  has  had  no  contact  work.  How- 
ever, if  the  hip  continues  to  respond  to 
treatment,  he  will  be  ready  to  enter  the 
Princeton  fray  next  weekend.  Bill  Steward, 
who  has  been  alternating  at  tackle  on  the 
varsity,  has  also  been  lost  to  the  team  for 
an  indefinite  period  with  a  badly  twisted 
knee. 

Over  a  period  stretching  back  to  1906. 
Williams  has  met  Middlebury  twenty 
times  on  the  gridiron.  Sixteen  of  these 
contests  have  resulted  in  victory  for  the 
Purple,  while  Middlebury  has  captured 
four  games. 

Panthers  Lose  Nine 

With  this  four  to  one  ratio  in  their 
favor  as  well  as  the  knowledge  that 
Middlebury  has  lost  nine  of  its  foremost 
players,  Williams  expects  to  find  little 
trouble  tomorrow.  Coach  Hen  Beck  of 
the  Panthers  has  had  to  build  his  1941

Flying  Club  Constructs 
Airport  on  Cole  Farm 


1941-42 
Year 


May 
Yet 


Be    Biggest 
Experienced 


The  presence  of  fifteen  licensed  pilots, 
the  fact  that  the  dues  and  instruction  rates 
are  lower  than  ever  before,  and  the 
availability  of  an  airport  three  times  the 
size  of  the  one  in  North  Adams  used  last 
year  point  to  a  big  year  for  the  Williams 
Flying  Club. 

Two  runways,  1200  and  7000  feet  long, 
have  been  laid  out  in  South  Willianistown 
where  the  club  recently  acquired  flying 
rights  on  the  farm  of  Donald  H.  Cole, 
father  of  Phillip  B.  Cole  '41.  All  tall  trees 
and  other  obstructions  in  the  immediate 
vicinity  have  been  cut  down  in  the  last 
two  weeks  by  axe-wielding  pilots  so  that 
the  field  is  now  ready  for  regular  duty. 

With  one  cub,  one  cadet,  and  onetay- 
lorcraft  scheduled  to  be  kept  there 
through  the  college  >'ear,  plans  are  under- 
way for  a  wooden  hangar,  a  necessity  the 
Flying  Club  has  been  forced  to  do  without 
in  previous  years. 

President  John  T.  Tuttle,  Jr.  '42  stated 
that  this  year  the  organization  will  sponsor 
a  weekly  ground  school  in  navigation, 
meteorology,  and  civil  aeronautics, 
another  heretofore  unattempted  plan. 
Within  the  near  future  a  questionnaire 
will  be  sent  to  the  entire  college  to  find  out 
how  much  actual  flying  interest  there  is  in 
Williams  and  how  many  undergraduates 
have  already  had  some  flying  experience. 

Following  the  compilation  of  this  survey 
a  meeting  will  be  held  for  all  pilots  and 
pilots  to  be.  At  present  the  club  is  nego- 
tiating with  a  Pittsfield  instructress  to  take 
the  place  of  la.st  year's  instructor  from 
Vermont.

Acts  of  Oatstanding  Screwlooseness  Mark 
Rushing  While  Thorns  Scales  Williams  Hall 


Oddities  may  have  been  the  highlight 
of  last  year's  rushing  season,  but  the  cry 
in  this  year's  period  of  scrutinizing  was 
simple  discombobulation,  flying  eagles, 
R.A.F.  pilots,  and  Arbiter  Frank  Thorns' 
climbing  into  a  freshman's  sccon<l  story 
window  to  get  the  aspirant  to  his  pref 
date. 

A  sorry-lookmg  freshman  came  to 
Frank  Thoms  on  the  night  of  preferential 
bids  with  the  tale  that  he  had  locked  him- 
self out  of  a  second  story  room  where  his 
rushing  suit  was  cached.  To  remedy  the 
situation  arbiter  Thoms  tried  a  step  ladder 
It  failed  to  reach  the  summit  He  rested 
it  on  a  window  sill  and  recommen(le<l  an 
asi'ent 

No  sooner  was  the  suggestion  made 
than  the  freshman  rlcveloped  a  Irul  should- 
er Remembering  his  duty  as  arbiter  to 
get  every  new  man  to  his  designated  tiate 
Thoms  took  the  task  upon  himself  and 
successfully   scaled  Williams  Hall. 

Foremost  among  happy  freshmen  was 
the  boy  filled  with  joy  over  the  thought 
of  actually  being  at  Williams,  "with 
Bennington  just  up  the  road  a  ways  and 
Smith  over  in  North  Adams"  to  say  noth- 
ing of  the  boy  who  was  completely  over- 
awed after  meeting  an  R.A.P".  pilot  in 
one    house. 

Perhaps  it  was  the  worm  turning  or 
maybe  the  newcomer  had  pigeons  on  his 
mind,  but  one  member  of  the  Class  of 
1945  during  prowling  said  he  refused  to 
open  the  windows  and  let  his  room  cool 
off  because  he  was  afraid  the  eagles  would 


fly  in. 

When  asked  if  he  wouldn't  come  up 
stairs  one  new  man  answeretl,  "No, 
thank  you.  I've  jest  been  outside  in  the 
bushes."  He  wasn't  the  same  one  who  re- 
marke.l  in  a  casual  sort  of  way,  ".Swell 
house  you've  got  here.     Which  one  is  it?" 

Once  wasn't  enough  for  the  freshman 
who  commented  to  the  hjad  of  a  house  as 
the  two  walked  into  the  sacred  portals,

President  Calls  Williams 
I'raining  Essential  Part 
of  U.   S.   Defense   Effort 


Asserting  "only  cowards  say  scholastic 
achie\ement  does  not  count  today," 
President  James  P.  Baxter,  .Vd,  told  the 
college lastSaturday  afternoon  that  wishful 
thinking  and  loafing  at  American  col- 
leges this  year  will  directly  imperil  a 
nation  dependent  on  its  youth  for  post- 
war leadership.  In  his  annual  talk  in 
Chapin  Hall,  opening  the  149th  year  of  the 
college,  the  president  emphasized,  as  he 
had  previously  in  his  welcome  to  the  men 
of  1945,  that  a  successful  Williams  educa- 
tion —  like  military  service  —  is  a  vital

Newhall  Proposes  Amendment  to  Abolish 
Treaty  Veto  Powers  of  Senate  Minority 


Obscured  during  the  summer  by  the 
burning  question  of  outright  American 
intervention  in  World  War  II,  the  larger 
issue  of  post-war  planning  prompted 
Professor  Richard  A.  Newhall  to  in- 
augurate in  late  July  a  movement  to 
sup|iross  by  constitutional  amendment 
the  Senate's  obstructionist  powers  in 
foreign  affairs. 

.^lai  med  by  the  possibility  that  a  minor- 
ity of  the  United  States  Senators  might  use 
their  constitutional  privilege  to  blcck 
.'Vmerica's  participation  in  a  stable  world 
order  after  the  war.  Professor  Newhall 
began  his  campaign  to  amend  the  Consti- 
tution in  a  July  23  letter  to  the  Spring- 
field Republican,  declaring  that  "the 
American  people  need  to  streamline  the 
machinery  of  government  if  they  are  to 
meet  the  demands  of  Twentieth  Century 
conditions." 

Inspired  by  Lippman 

The  acting  president  of  Williams  was 
moved  to  editorial  action  by  Walter 
Lippman's  article  in  the  July  21  Life,  in 
which  Lippman  described  America's  failure 
to  ratify  the  Versailles  Treaty  and  join  the 
League  of  Nations  as  "America's  (ireat 
Mistake."  The  Lippman  article  laid 
stress  on  the  fact  that  little  more  than  one 
third  of  the  Senators  were  able  to  block 


President  Wilson's  attempt  to  pledge 
American  cooperation  in  establishing  and 
maintaining  a  world  security  system. 

Lippman's  emphasis  on  the  veto  power 
which  a  minority  of  the  Senate  has  exer- 
crsed  for  the  past  twenty  years  in  hamper- 
ing effective  American  action  on  the  world 
scene  brought  the  following  swiftly  for- 
mulated amendment  to  the  document  from 
Mr.  Newhall,  proposed  in  his  July  23 
letter  to  the  Republican: 

Text  o{  Amendment 

"1.  Those  parts  of  Article  II,  Section 
2  which  read  "by  and  with  the  consent  of 
the  .Senate,"  and  "provided  two-thirds  of 
the  Senators  present  concur,"  are  hereby 
stricken  from  this  Constitution. 

"2.  Treaties  negotiated  by  the  author- 
ity of  the  President  shall  be  ratified  by  and 
with  the  consent  of  a  majority  of  both 
Houses  of  Congress.  Ratification  shall 
be  without  amendment  or  reservation." 

"The  American  people,"  Professor  New- 
hall insisted  in  the  letter,  "should  lose  no 
time  in  breaking  the  strangle-hold  which 
the  power  of  obstruction  in  the  Senate 
gives  a  minority  of  Senators." 

Plan  Receives  Support 

This  opening  gun   from   Mr.    Newhall 
brought  instant  support  in  letters  printed

In  a  full  two-colunm  discussion  of  the 
Purple  title  hopes  for  the  1941  season,  the 
Biisliin  sports  "expert"  gives  a  more  or 
less  word-for-word  repeat  performance  of 
his  1940  writeup  in  which  he  referred  to 
Williams  as  a  "tails-and-white-tie  — super- 
cilious, retrousse-nosed  institution  which 
yodels  sweetheart  calls  to  sons  of  patrician 
daddies  with  a  vault  full  of  those  lovely 
government  bonds." 

Although  the  perennial  Eph-baiter  does 
bother  to  drop  several  words  of  praise  for 
the  Williams  eleven,  predicting  for  it 
another  Little  Three  title,  he  concentrates 
as  he  did  last  year  on  strict  l\'  extra- 
gridiron  aspects  of  the  Williams  character. 

This  year  we're  a  "starchy,  span-spick 
institution  which  wears  the  air  of  arching 
its  intellectual  eyebrows  and  luokingat  you 
down  the  length  of  a  Roman  nose;"  in  a 
"freshly  laundered  little  town  in  which 
every  grass  blade  is  combed  like  a  gigolo's 
scalp  and  every  sidewalk  manicured  like 
a  dainty  lady's  fingernails."

Amherst  Weekend 

Shakespeare  Comedy  Is 
Chosen  by  Cap  &  Bells 
for       Next       Production 


Much  Ado  About  Nothing,  one  of 
Shakespear-e's  most  popular  comedies, 
will  be  the  opening  production  of  the 
1941-42  season  for  Cap  and  Bells,  Inc., 
student  dramatic  society,  it  was  an- 
nounced this  week  by  Max  Flowers, 
Director  of  the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre. 
Two  performances  are  scheduled  for 
.'\mherst  weekend,  November  13-14.  Mr. 
Flowers  pointed  out  that  in  turning  from 
Eugene  O'Neill,  the  foremost  .American 
playwright,  whose  Marco  Millions  opened 
the  new  theatre  last  spring,  to  the  most 
famous  of  all  English  dramatists.  Cap  and 
Bells  is  reviving  an  old  custom  of  producing 
at  least  one  Shakespearean  play  each  year. 
The  last  of  these  was  King  Henry  IV, 
Part  J,  which  was  presented  in  1937. 

Produced  Here  In  1926 

Much  Ado  About  Nothing  was  last  pro- 
duced by  the  Williams  group  in  1926,  at 
which  time   Prof.   J.  W.   Miller  wrote  in 

The   Recobd,  "The  presentation was 

very  favorably  received,  and  the  verdict 
of  the  audience  was  in  large  part  justified 
by  good  acting,  excellent  costuming, 
smooth  procedure,  and  refinement  in 
adaptation." 

The  new  production  is  to  be  distin- 
guished by  modern  treatment,  utilizing 
all  the  resources  of  the  new  theatre. 
According  to  Mr.  Flowers,  it  will  employ 
the  full  potentialities  of  student  talent  foi 
staging  and  acting,  and  will  provide 
training  and  experience  in  modern  pro- 
duction of  Shakespearean  drama. 

Tryouts  Monday 

Scenery,  costume,  lighting,  and  property 
designers  are  now  perfecting  their  plans, 
and  calls  have  already  been  issued  for  the 
various  crews.  Tiyouts  for  speaking 
roles  will  be  held  Monday  at  3:,30  and  7:,?0 
p.  m.,  and  Tuesday  at  7:30  p.  in.,  on  the 
A.  M.  T.  -Stage.  Eighteen  male  anti  four 
female  roles  will  he  cast  at  that  time,  and 
several  non-speaking  |)arts  will  be  added 
later.  The  tryouts  are  open  to  all  eligible 
students,  as  well  as  any  women  of  the 
vicinity  who  may  be  interested.  Mr. 
Flowers  said  that  those  who  intend  to  try 
out  should  first  read  the  play,  copies  of 
which  are  on  reserve  in  the  library. 


Effective  on  Sunday 

Beginning  at  midnight  Sunda\',  the 
driving  of  automobiles  within  the  limits 
of  Williamstown  will  be  sever<-l\'  restricted 
by  the  unanimous  consent  of  the  Under- 
graduate Council,  which  met  in  special 
session  Wednesday  evening.  Although 
students  may  still  enter  and  leave  freely, 
the  action  will  prevent  the  unnecessary 
operation  of  cars  within  town  limits, 
according  to  C\tus  N.  Morgan,  President 
of  the  student  governing  body. 

In  aimouncing  the  legislation.  .Morgan 
issued  the  following  state  num;  "The 
restriction  of  the  use  of  autoniubilcs  will 
bring  about;  (I )  concrete  cooperation  with 
the  National  Defense  Program;  (2)  the 
end  of  the  lethargic  practice  of  driving 
distances  that  could  lie  more  bcnelicially 
covered  on  foot ;  (3)  solution  of  the  campus 
parking  problem.  Il  is  a  logical  move,  and 
the  long  run  efTect  will  lienelit  more  than 
il  will  harm  the  undergraduates." 

Newhall  Commends  Action 

Following  the  announcement  of  the 
Council's  decision.  Professor  Uichar<l  A, 
Newhall,  Acting  President  of  the  College, 
and  Chairman  of  thi'  V\illiams  Cimimittee 
on  Cooperation  with  the  National  Defense 
Program,  issued  the  following  statement: 
"The  prcjiiipt  action  of  the  Undergraduate 
Council  in  response  to  the  letter  from  the 
Committee  on  Cooperation  with  the 
National  Defense  Program  is  extremely 
gratifying.  The  willingness  of  the  under- 
graduate leaders  to  assume  responsibility 
for  such  a  policy  which  cann<it  hope  to  be 
popular  with  everyone  is  the  best  a.ssurance 
for  the  coming  \'ear  which  anyone  can  ask. 

"Williams  men  may  feel  justh-  proud 
that  it  is  possible  to  make  effective  the 
cooperation  of  college  and  undergraduate 
administrations  on  diflficult  as  well  as  easy 
matters." 

Letter  Prompts  U.  C. 

The  legislation  was  the  result  of  a  letter 
from  Professor  Newhall  on  September  19, 
in  which  he  quoted  from  a  letter  received 
by  the  college  from  Mr.  J.  W.  Farley, 
Executive  Director  of  the  Massachusetts 
Committee  on  Public  Safety,  in  which 
Farlex-  recommended  that  all  students  be 
prohibited  from  operating  motor  vehicles 
"in  behalf  of  national  defense." 

Mr.  Newhall's  correspondence  reviewed 
the  retiuest  made  by  Dealt  (jregersen  to 
upperclassmen  to  leave  their  cars  al  home 
unless  they  considered  them  absolutely 
necessary.

The  Williams  Amendment 

Plenty  of  VVilliuiii.s  incii  wlio  quoted  their  pro- 
fessors in  .sui)|)orl  of  arguments  during  the  summer 
vcre  met,  a.s  they  always  have  been  met,  with  the 
coimlercliargc  tliat  college  professors  arc  impractical 
■woolly-iiiiiiilcil  theorists  l>eneath  the  contempt  of 
"men  of  aetion."  This  has  always  been  one  of  Burton 
K.  Wheeler's  pel  assertions,  but  he  is  by  no  means 
its  only  nor  its  loutlest  exponent. 

Suri)iisingly  enough,  a  college  professor  has  pro- 
posed a  hardheaded  plan  to  do  away  with  the  con- 
stitutional privilege  of  a  minority  of  the  Senate, 
re|)reseiiling  an  even  smaller  minority  of  the  Anaerican 
people,  to  hamstring  a  majority-elected  President's 
efforts  to  guarantee  American  cooperation  in  an 
international  system  of  collective  security.  Professor 
llichard  A.  Newhall  of  Williams  is  the  proponent  of  a 
constitutional  amendment  which,  should  it  become 
law,  would  give  the  Senator  from  Montana  and  the 
rest  of  the  obstructionist  Senate  minority  a  rude  jolt. 

There  has  l)cen  little  uproar  about  this  amendment. 
Professor  Newhall  himself  plans  no  whirlwind  propa- 
ganda campaign,  hoping  to  convince  the  American 
licople  liy  cold  logic  that  his  plan  is  not  only  valid 
but  vital.  A  little  discreet  publicity,  however,  would 
not  be  amiss,  and  the  Williams  undergraduate  body 
can  do  its  bit  to  further  a  project  which  no  thinking 
democrat  can  reject.  Among  other  things,  the  Adel- 
phic  Union  could  suggest  the  proposed  amendment  as 
a  topic  for  intercollegiate  debates. 

If  this  plan  can  be  put  through,  the  effect  will  not 
only  be  the  elimination  of  a  scandalously  undemo- 
cratic situation  which  has  done  more  than  its  share  to 
bring  on  the  present  agony  of  wo^ld  democracy. 
It  might  also  serve  to  silence  those  who  assail  college 
professors  as  theorists  incapable  of  positive  practical 
action. 


Problems:  Legacies,  Dirty  Rushing 

Each  year  Frank  Thoms  deserves  the  everlasting 
thanks  of  Williams  ('allege  for  the  deep  dark  circles  he 
develops  under  his  eyes  during  rushing,  in  the  interest 
of  Williams  fraternities.  But  if  Mr,  Thoms  deserves 
thanks,  comments  on  Williams  fraternity  rushing 
should  go  no  further  in  that  direction. 

As  systems  go,  Williams'  is  good;  it  runs  well,  and  it 
has  a  good  operator.  But  that  is  enough:  it  is  also 
false  and  superficial,  a  round  of  cigarettes  and  pepper- 
mints and  dreamed-up  laffs.  It  is  as  stupid  as  most 
of  the  conversation  you've  been  forcing  for  the  past 
week.  * 

At  this  time  of  year  marc  men  than  usual  will  sec 
clearly  enough  — -  now  that  they've  had  a  fresh  dose 
of  the  headaches  and  false  polish  of  a  rushing  season 
—  tlial  there  is  only  one  solution  to  all  they  do  not 
like  about  fraternity  rushing.  Changing  the  season 
from  one  year  to  another  will  not  help;  the  only  solu- 
tion lies  quite  simply  in  putting  the  distribution  of 
freshmen  among  the  houses  in  the  hands  of  the  Col- 
lege. 

This  is  a  violent  suggestion,  and  no  one  need  worry 
about  Williams  men  taking  it  seriously.  Under- 
graduates did  not  become  aroused  about  their  un- 
limited cut  privilege  imtil  it  was  taken  away.  And 
today,  as  much  as  it  may  be  regretted,  much  that  is 
being  done  in  the  name  of  defense  is  being  done  to 
forestall  the  wholesale  revocation  of  driving  per- 
mission by  the  college.  It  is  not  yet  a  matter  of  life- 
and-death  for  Williams  fraternities  that  their  rushing 
is  shot  full  of  everything  that  is  not  true.  It  may  be 
good  sense  to  do  something  about  it  now,  but  skin- 
saving  is  not  yet  the  issue. 

Williams  men  will  not  take  seriously  this  .suggestion 
for  clearing  up  their  objections  to  rushing,  which  they 
lament  regularly  after  each  sea.son,  but  there  are  other 
aspects  of  the  season  just  ended  that  deserve  their 
attention.  First,  the  Undergraduate  Council  should 
investigate  the  many  rumors  of  dirty  rushing  that 
have  l)een  floating  around  town  for  the  past  few  days; 
one,  that  freshmen  were  entertained  by  a  fraternity  at 
a  neaTl)y  roadhouse;  another,  that  a  freshman  was 
seen  sitting  in  a  Spring  Street  drug.storc  with  two 
fraternity  men. 

The  Undergraduate  Council  .should  also  explore  the 
whole  question  of  legacies,  and  the  position  they  hold 
in  the  Williams  rushing  scheme.  It  can  accurately 
be  said  that  half  of  the  rushing  system  here  works  for 
legacies,  and  half  against  them.  Has  anyone  an 
intelligent  objection  to  treating  legacies  as  normal 
people,  subject  to  the  same  rules  and  customs  as  other 
freshmen?  If  not,  the  Council  should  abolish  the  two 
rules  of  the  system  which  set  legacies  off  from  other 


freshmen.  1)  The  rule  which  publicizes  a  list  of  all 
legacies,  direct  and  indirect,  thus  reducing  the  number 
of  hou.ses  open  to  them.  2)  The  rule  which  often  puts 
legacies  in  a  false  position  of  preference  at  the  top  of 
the  final  bid  li.sts,  thus  injuring  the  chances  of  non- 
legacies  of  getting  hou.ses  of  their  choice. 

In  dirty  ru.shing  and  in  legacies  the  I'lidcrgraduatc 
Council  has  two  very  real  .subjects  which  it  is  its  duty 
to  investigate. 


WILLIAMS 

IN  THE  WAR  m 


Your  Chances  of  Draft  Deferment 

Latest  releases  from  Washington  reveal  that  selec- 
tive service  headquarters  have  now  authorized  local 
draft  boa''ds  to  clcfc  the  induction  of  college  .students 
into  the  army  "only  if  immediate  induction  causes 
undue  hard.ship  l)ecau.se  of  interference  with  their 
work." 

This  order,  worded  like  its  predecessors  in  the 
vague  generalities  Washington  employs  so  often  these 
days,  pulls  national  headquarters  out  of  a  tight  spot. 
Its  weasel  word.s  save  the  Administration  the  political 
embarrassment  of  "deferring  a  class" — the  fatal 
mistake  of  the  draft  board  in  the  early  days  of  World 
War  I.  But  at  the  same  time  national  headquarters 
assures  local  boards  that  student  deferment  until 
the  end  of  a  college  semester — if  it  prevents  "undue 
hard.ship" — will  be  approved  at  the  Capitol. 

Newhall   Promises   to   Help 

Professor  Newhall,  now  administrating  the  college 
from  No.  1  Hopkins,  said  yesterday  he  will  be  glad  to 
ask  local  boards  to  defer  students  whose  records 
"reveal  scholastic  sincerity  and  achievement."  More 
bluntly — if  you're  drafted  during  a  semester,  you 
can  expect  college  cooperation  in  obtaining  a  defer- 
ment only  if  you've  been  attending  classes,  doing 
assignments,  and  doing  them  well.  Naturally,  if 
you're  physically  fit,  you  can  count  on  a  deferment 
only  until  the  end  of  the  semester  in  which  your  num- 
ber comes  up. 

Few   Certain  of  Deferment 

This  general  rule  applies  to  those  men  taking  the 
usual  liberal  arts  major.  If  you're  planning  to  work 
in  medicine  or  engineering,  or  any  other  field  where  a 
shortage  in  the  number  of  capable  men  definitely 
exists,  you  probably  will  be  able  to  obtain  a  defer- 
ment until  you've  completed  your  Williams  and 
graduate  courses. 

The  vagueness  of  the  Washington  order  proves 
that  the  length  of  deferments  depends  completely 
upon  the  discretion  of  your  local  board.  But  your 
ability  to  secure  a  deferment  until  the  end  of  this 
semester,  or  until  the  end  of  your  college  career,  also 
depends  to  a  great  extent  on  the  recommendation 
which  Mr.  Newhall  will  make  to  your  local  draft 
officials. 

If  you're  •■eally  serious  about  this  business  of  earn- 
ing a  Williams  degree— and  a  good  job  well  done  at 
Williams  is  as  important  to  America's  defense  effort 
as  the  service  now  being  rendered  by  selectees — then 
you'd  better  read  the  handwriting  on  the  wall.

Snively's  gridmen,  who  arc  starling  to  get 
down  to  real  work  after  a  week  a[id  a  half 
of  conditioning.  With  a  workable  squad 
of  forty  instead  of  the  original  seventy-odd, 
Snivel>'  is  starting  to  work  on  pla\s,  with 
scrimmages  expected  shortly.  So  far  the 
only  contact  work  has  been  routine  block- 
ing and   tackling. 

Tentative  First  Team 

Although  he  has  yet  to  see  his  men  in 
action,  Snively  has  selected  about  twent\ 
from  whom  he  will  probably  pick  his  starl- 
ing lineup.  A  tentative  first  team  might 
include  Wheeler  and  Johndroe  at  end, 
N'orys  and  Gruber  at  the  tackles,  Tapscotl 
and  Glasgow  at  guard,  and  Brashears, 
Adams,  Herndon  and  John  Brown  In  the 
backfield. 

Other  outstandin.g  candidates  include 
Knox  and  Touhey  at  end,  Scarl'.orough  and 
Wardwell  at  tackle.  Strong  at  guard,  and 
Tucker,  Elder,  George  Brown  and  Agnew 
in  the  backfield.  Snively  is  handicapped 
by  a  numerical  lack  of  centers,  Hawkesand 
Waller  being  the  sole  candidates  for  the 
pivot   position. 

A  change  has  been  made  in  the  schedule 
which  will  prevent  members  of  the  fresh- 
man sciuad  from  attending  the  Princeton 
game,  it  was  announced  earh'  this  week  b\- 
Snively.  The  Norwich  '45  game,  original- 
ly scheduled  for  November  1,  has  been 
moved  up  to  October  18,  with  the  result 
that  the  Eph  yearlings  will  practice  the 
afternoon  of  the  Princeton  fracas.

Notices 


Student  instructorships  in  Freshman 
Public  Speaking  are  available  for  1941-42. 
Written  applications  for  these  positions 
should  be  mailed  to  Professor  Robert  F. 
Young  at  37  Southworth  St.,  not  later 
than  Wednesday,  October  1.  The  appli- 
cations should  contain  a  detailed  statement 
of  training  and  experience  in  Public 
Speaking.  Preference  will  be  given  to 
applicants  who  are  seniors,  but  juniors  of 
experience  and  ability  will  be  given  full 
consideration.  Instructors  of  1940-41  who 
wish  to  be  considered  for  re-appointment 
should  file  their  names,  but  need  not 
submit  credentials. 

Each  instructorship  involves  three  hours 
per  week  during  only  half  of  the  college 
year,  with  suitable  compensation.  The 
instruction  begins  December  1  and  ends 
in  mid  April.  For  further  details  consult 
Mr.  Young  by  phone  (662-W)  or  by 
appointment  (37  Southworth  St.) 


With  the  unanimous  approval  of  the 
Committee  on  Discipline,  it  has  been  de- 
cided to  standardize  the  penalty  for  cut- 
ting while  on  "no-cuts"  as  follows: 

Probation  for  three  weeks  from  date  of 
cut.  That  "no-cut"  period  which  remains 
after  date  of  offense  is  to  be  served  at 
expiration  of  probation. 

A  student  who  cuts  while  on  probation 
is  considered  for  dismissal  by  the  Com- 
mittee on  Discipline. 

In  respect  to  excess  cuts  in  general,  the 
policy  of  refusing  to  accept  "over-sleeping" 
as  an  excuse  will  be  continued.

you  try  to  read  at  night. 

n  One  out  ol  five  grade  school  ohUdren  have

to  2  out  of  S  at  college  age. 

Q  Darning  socks  puts  a  far  heavier  strain  on 
^  eyes  than  reading  a  book.  You  need  several 
times  more  light  for  this  task  than  for  reading. 

/j  As  eyes  grow  older  the  pupils  contract 
~  becoming  smaller.  Consequently  there  is 
need  for  more  and  more  light  as  birthdays  pile  up. 


g  You  should  have  at  least  20  to  40  f  ootoandles 
of  light  in  your  living  room  at  every  easy 
chair  or  davenport  used  for  reading— and  the 
more  the  better!  Tor  long  and  difficult  seeing

FOOTBALL 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
ilevtn  from  light,  inexperienced  material 
up  from  the  freshman  team,  and  from  the 
few  lettermen  left  over  from  the  1940 
team  which  Williams  conquered  14-6. 
A  stumbling  block  in  the  path  to  an  initial 
WiHiams  victory  may  be  the  traditional, 
early-season  lethargy  which  is  characteris- 
tic of  Williams  football  teams. 

Provided  there  arc  no  more  casualties 
prior  to  game  time,  the  line-up  for  to- 
morrow is  fairly  definite.  Ilearne  and 
Hob  Wallace  will  be  at  the  ends,  Callahan 
and  Oswald  at  the  tackles,  I  lall  and  Ralph 
Renzi  at  the  guards,  and  Hill  Courier  will 
probably  get  the  no<l  over  Mob  (iardiner 
at  center. 

Holden's  loss  has  put  sophomore  Hill 
Orr  up  into  a  starting  post  in  the  back- 
field  along  with  the  veterans  Morgan  and 
llannock,  and  sophomore  Gunnar  Hayes, 
who,  on  the  basis  of  recent  form,  should 
give  the  Middlebury  line  plenty  of 
trouble.

contribution  to  the  defense  of  this  (Icinoc- 
racy. 

Robert  Harrow,  assistant  professor  o( 
music,  plnyej  the  Chapiii  Hall  organ  as 
the  college  assembled,  and  shortly  after 
IM  p.m.,  with  the  hall  jammed,  Warren 
G.  Hunke  '42  led  the  gathering  in  the 
singing  of  Yard  by  Yard.  The  invocation 
by  the  Reverend  A.  Grant  Noble,  college 
chaplin,  was  followed  by  President  Bax- 
ter's announcement  of  nineteen  Garfield, 
Mark  Hopkins,  and  Tyng  Scholars  for 
1941-42. 

Scholarship*  Awarded 

Three  Garfield  Scholarshijjs  were  a- 
warded  to  members  of  the  classes  of  1943 
and  1944,  while  four  men  in  the  junior  and 
senior  classes  were  designated  Mark 
Hopkins  Scholars.  "The  C^arfield  Scholar- 
ships," accoiding  to  the  College  Hulletin, 
amount  to  not  more  than  $400  for  each 
semester  and  "are  for  men  of  high  stand- 
ing who  would  not  be  able  to  meet  their 
college  expenses  without  the  scholarshios 
The  Mark  Hopkins  .Scholars  receive  the 
corresponding  academic  distinction  but  no 
financial  award." 

For  the  first  time  in  Williams  history, 
eleven  scholarships  were  awarded  from 
the  Juliet  Augusta  Tyng  Hequest  These 
awards,  identical  to  the  Garfield  Scholar- 
ships in  academic  distinction  and  financial 
remuneration,  were  made  by  the  Com- 
mittee of  Nine,  which  under  the  terms  of 
the  bequest  will  annually  select  Tyng 
Scholars  from  all    four  college  classes. 

President  Baxter's  address  was 'j  spirited 
indictment  of  wishful  thinkers  in  all  walks 
of  American  life,  particularly  "those  who 
dare  maintain  that  the  Nazi  menace  to 
democracy  is  far  less  dangerous  than  a  few 
months  ago."  The  President  stressed  the 
present  sea  power  of  Great  Britain  as  the 
key  to  our  very  existence  as  a  democracy, 
declaring  that  if  England  falls,  Germany 
and  a  hostile  world  will  destroy  America  by 
economic  strangulation  —  not  by  invasion 
of  this  hemisphere. 

"You  will  be  pikers  if  you  give  way  to 
the  tremendous  temptation  to  loaf  in 
these  uncertain  times,"  Dr.  Baxter  told 
his  audience,  and  again  assured  the  under- 
graduates that  President  Roosevelt  and 
other  national  leaders  consider  men  with 
college  training  "invaluable  defenders  of 
democracy  at  this  or  any  other  time — in 
war  or  in  peace." 

President  Baxter  declared  this  nation 
will  go  to  war  as  soon  as  it  finds  itself 
"confronted  with  a  peace  unsuitable  to 
the  democratic  way  of  life."  Dr.  Baxter 
asserted  that  a  Nazi  victory  in  Europe 
would  be  too  great  a  price  for  Americans 
to  pay  for  peace. 

The  list  of  scholarships  announced  by 
the  president  follows:

AMENDMENT 

(Continued  from  page  I) 
in  many  newspapers.  Professors  Paul 
Birdsall  and  Joseph  E.  Johnson  of  Williams 
and  Princeton  Librarian  Julian  P.  Boyd 
were  among  those  who  commended  the 
plan  in  print,  and  a  letter  from  Ml.  New- 
hall  to  the  Christian  Science  Monitor  drew 
favorable  editorial  comment  from  that 
journal. 

Further  steps  to  publicize  the  amend- 
ment plan  have  not  yet  been  taken,  but 
Mr.  Newhall  is  scheduled  to  broadcast  a 
discussion  of  the  idea  on  October  18  over 
station  WGY,  and  Professor  Birdsall  is  to 
repeat  the  performance  in  January. 

"We  are  not  attempting  to  storm  the 
citadel  of  American  opinion,"  Mr.  New- 
hall  told  The  Recoud.  "This  is  a  thing 
to  spread  at  a  time  when  people  will  think 
about  it  on  its  merits  —  before  it  becomes 
a  hotly  controversial  issue." 


Infirmary 

When  The  Record  went  to  press 
Thursday  night  the  following  were  con- 
fined to  the  Thompson  Infirmary:  S.  P.  B.

Athletic  Tickets 

Undergraduates  who  have  not  as  yet 
obtained  their  student  athletic  tickets  may 
pick  them  up  at  5  Hopkins  Hall  (Mr. 
Ostcrhout's  office).  No  admittance  to 
games  without  this  ticket. 


Amherst  Game  Tickets 

Orders  for  reserved  scats  for  the  Am- 
herst-Williams football  game  at  Williams- 
town  on  Nov.  15,  and  for  the  Wesleyan- 
Williams  game  at  Middletown  on  Novem- 
ber 8,  may  be  placed  in  the  office  of  A.  V. 
Osterhout,  Graduate  Manager  of  Athletics, 
5  Hopkins  Hall.

cheering  section  at  either  of  these  games 
do  not  require  reserved  seat  tickets.

(Continued  from  puKe  I) 

Concluding  the  letter,  Mr.  Newhall 
said:  "There  has  been  a  suggestion  that 
the  Undergraduate  Council  legislate  with 
respect  to  the  much  more  restricted  use  by 
undergraduates  of  automobiles  in  Wil- 
liamstown.  The  College  Committee  on 
Cooperation  with  the  National  Defense 
Program,  meeting  in  Hopkins  Hall  on 
September  19,  considered  this  suggestion. 
Believing  that  this  offers  real  possibilities, 
the  Committee  expresses  the  earnest  hope 
that  the  Undergraduate  Ccmncil  will  take 
innnediate  action  along  this  line." 

'Record'  Suggests  Action 

The  cimclusions  reached  by  the  Council 
was  first  suggested  in  an  editorial  in  the 
first  issue  of  the  Riocoui)  this  year.  It 
was  accepted  as  a  fair  compromise  between 
an  entire  lack  of  cooperation  on  the  part  of 
the  upperclassmen,  and  the  possible 
drastic  action  of  forbidding  automobiles 
completely. 

The  argument  that  there  is  actually  no 
gasoline  shortage  was  disregarded  by  both 
the  Undergraduate  Council  and  the 
Defense  Committee.  Both  organizations 
maintained  that  orders  and  requests  to 
them  from  responsible  authorities  insist 
that  a  shortage  does  exist,  and  that  they 
must  act  accordingly  until  the  authorities 
alter  the  nature  of  their  orders. 


RUSHING  ANTICS 

(Continued  from  pane  1) 

"Nice  frat  lodge  you've  got  here  my 
friend."  At  dinner  his  request  was  "pass 
the  potatoes,  my  friend." 

h'rank  Thoms  was  even  interrupted  in 
the  middle  of  a  bit  of  private  whistling 
in  his  office  by  a  freshman  who  informed 
him  point  blank  that  his  second  note  had 
been  off  key.  Another  complaint  came 
from  a  boy  with  a  |)articularly  foreign 
sounding  name  who  wanted  the  fraternities 
to  write  their  names  in  English,  on  the 
invitation  bids. 

R.A.F.  talk  wasn't  sufficient  for  one 
house.  They  even  told  of  last  winter's 
snow  stoim  that  started  on  house  party 
weekend  and  lasted  for  six  weeks.  The 
snow  was  so  deep  that  none  of  the  girls 
could  go  home  so  they  all  stayed  in  the 
I'ratetnity  dormitories  until   it  blew  over. 

When  told  that  a  mendier  of  a  particular 
house  goes  out  to  play  sipiash  every  after- 
noon one  freshman  replied,  "that's  funny, 
I  thought  the  squash  courts  were  indoors." 
At  least  he  didn't  believe  that  he  was  talk- 
ing to  George  Rudnick's  roommate  the 
way  a  classmate  of  his  had  the  period  be- 
fore. 

A  most  interesting  st'itement  was  made 
by  a  freshman  from  Troy.  Upon  being 
iisketl  what  he  did  at  home  for  amuse- 
ment, he  answered,  "All  I  know  to  do  over 
there  is  ice  skate."

By  KiiKi)  Hah.\k«  '43 

At  tiiiics  (lisplayiiiK  some  of  tlu'  form 
wliicli  iiiadi'  the  1940  seusoii  successful, 
Williams'  varsity  football  team  buried 
Middleliury  under  a  live-touchdown  ava- 
lanche Saturday  afternoon  on  Weston 
Field  to  ring  in  the  1941  si-ason  with  a 
thuni|jinK  33-0  victory. 

Coach  Charlie  Caldwell  geared  his 
attack  around  two  sophomore  fullbacks, 
Gunnar  Hayes  and  Bud  Tewksbury,  and 
these  two  newcomers  to  varsity  football 
thoroughh'  vindicated  their  coach's  choice 
1)\'  tallying  two  touchdowns  apiece. 
Newcomers  Star 

These  were  not  the  oiiK'  newcomers  who 
proved  themselves,  for  Bill  Schmidt,  a 
junior  playing  his  first  year  of  inter- 
collegiate football,  wound  up  early  in  the 
third  (|uarter  and  slung  a  high  looping  pass 
lo  Kran  Dolan  on  the  Middlebury  lifteen 
and  the  veteran  end  crossed  the  goal  line 
with  live  yards  of  golden  Berkshire  sun- 
light between  him  and  his  nearest  tackier. 

Karly    in    the    first   quarter,    Williams 

drove   deep    ipl'^    Midd'ebliry    territury    to 

the  26-yard  line,  and  then  stalled.  With 
the  petering  out  of  this  attack  it  seemed 
that  the  3,000  spectators  might  be  forced 
to  watch  another  opening  game  of  missed 
blocks  and  tackles.  But  this  was  only  the 
(|uiet  before  the  storm. 

Williams  Slow  to  Start 
.Slow  to  get  going  on  the  offense,  the  big 
Williams  line  rumbled  into  action  during 
the  second  quarter  with  Hayes  eventually 
slashing  over  from  the  one  for  the  first 
Williams  touchdown.  And  as  if  this  were 
not  enough  work  for  one  afternoon,  the 
IVS-pound  sophomore  sprinted  off  tackle 
early  in  the  third  quarter  for  another 
touchdown  to  put  Williams  in  front,  13-0.

Training  Table  to  Give 
'Williams  Night' Benefit 

Bowdoin    Dance    Features 
'Knights',    Octet,    Skits 


With  music  by  the  Purple  Knights, 
singing  by  the  Octet,  and  skits  and  imita- 
tions of  faculty  members  by  prominent 
undergraduates  already  on  its  entertain- 
ment schedule,  the  training  table's  Bow- 
doin weekend  production  "Williams 
Night"  is  now  almost  completely  planned. 
Charles  H.  Tower  '42,  manager  of  the 
table  and  director  of  the  "second  Nathan 
Jackson  Smoker,"  revealed  today  that 
tickets  will  be  sold  by  fraternity  represent- 
atives, the  house  with  the  largest  percent- 
age of  sales  winning  the  "prize"  of  first 
choice  for  a  bloc  at  the  Amherst  Game, 
November  IS. 

Williams  has  tied  Bowdoin  for  the  last 
two  years,  assuring  a  large  attendance 
for  the  October  18  renewal  of  the  classic, 
Manager  Tower  asserted.  This^akes 
Bowdoin  weekend  >  "natHiral  set-up"  for

the  training  table  itrtinancing  a  fifty-two- 
man  eating  organization  now  supporting 
twenty-four  full-time  waiters. 

Only  the  success  of  the  Bowdoin  pro- 
duction will  enable  the  training  table  to 
continue  operations,  Tower  believes,  for 
the  college  does  not  recognize  the  table 
and  cannot  afford  to  contribute  to  its 
maintenance.  At  present  Tower  feels 
some  of  the  scholarship  men  wilrbe  forced 
to  wait  in  the  houses,  thus  being  kept  from 
eating  with  the  rest  of  the  squad,  if  train- 
ing table  finances  are  not  bolstered  by 
"Williams  Night."

Lerner  To  Publish 
Essay  Collection 

'Ideas  For  the  Ice  Age' 
Title  of  New  Book  On 
Difficult     Years     Ahead 


Professor  Max  Lerner  this  weekend 
revealed  the  structure  and  content  of  his 
forthcoming  book.  Ideas  For  the  Ice  Age, 
which  will  be  published  in  November  by 
the  \'iking  Press  as  a  companion  work  to 
his  well-known  Ideas  Are  Weapons.  The 
four-hundred-page  volume  contains  a 
collection  of  Lerner's  essays  written  since 
1936. 

He  explained  the  unusual  title  by  com- 
paring the  crisis  ahead  to  an  Ice  Age 
which  will  pose  problems  of  so  imperative 
a  nature  as  to  challenge  the  preservation 
of  the  American  way  of  life.  The  book 
contains  suggestions  and  ideas  which  will 
be  needed  to  face  that  period  and  an  anal- 
ysis of  methods  to  be  used  in  the  present 
and  post-war  periods.  Divided  into  four 
sections,  the  volume  deals  with  many 
phases  of  the  situation  on  which  Lerner 
comments,  feeling  that  they  should  be 
known  and  thought  about. 

Deals  With  Post-War  Period 

The  first  portion  describes  the  period 
ahead  of  us  as  one  which  demands  a  new 
thinking,  and  a  new  approach.  It  gives 
suggestions  as  to  what  can  be  done  to 
remedy  and  deal  with  the  period  now,  and 
after  the  war  in  the  peace  to  come.  In 
the  second  division  of  the  book,  the  strug- 
gle between  isolationism  and  the  forces  of 
interventionism  is  described  at  length  and 
analyzed. 

A  section  on  important  thinkers  and 
idea-men  is  included,  for  Williams'  noted 
pro-democrat  believes  that  from  the  works 
and  theories  of  these  men  certain  keys  and 
aids  can  be  gained  for  the  task  which  lies 
ahead.  A  widely  varied  group,  including 
Machiavelli,  Chief  Justice  Holmes,  Ran- 
dolph Bourne,  an  American  writer  in  the 
first  World  War,  and  Franz  Kafka,  a 
recent  Czech  novelist  make  up  the  subject 
matter. 

In  a  division  entitled  "Unfinished 
Business  of  Democracy,"  Lerner  ex- 
plains the  methods  with  which  we

Otto  Eduard  LeHsing,  the  German 
censor  whose  knowledge  of  Americanisms 
so  hampered  William  L.  Shirer  that  he 
quit  the  airwaves  in  Germany,  was  pro- 
fessor of  German  at  Williams  from  1923  to 
1931.  Not  extraordinarily  pro-Kascist 
while  here,  he  was  however  noted  for  be- 
moaning the  atrocious  treatment  the 
Sudeten  Germans  were  receiving  at  the 
hands  of  the  Czech  barbarians. 


Last  Friday,  Grover  A.  Whnleii  re- 
ported to  Mayor  LaGuardia  that  the 
Eastern  seaboard  was  threatened  with  "a 
real  and  serious"  shortage  of  gasoline  and 
fuel  oil,  adding  that  a  definite  railroad  tank 
car  shortage  existed.  Local  gasoline  dis- 
tributors and  dealers  hailed  Mr.  Whalen's 
report  as  "a  constructive  step"  and  urged 
that  the  public  be  more  fully  educated  to 
the  need  for  conserving  motor  fuel. 

In  taking  over  his  new  room  last  week, 
a  Bophomore  at  Harvard  found  a  metal 
filing  box  containing  seventy-four  cards. 
On  each  card  was  written  a  girl's  name,  her 
status,  telephone  number,  address,  and 
rating  on  an  A  to  E  scale.  Complexion, 
figure,  looks  and  brains  were  the  basis  of 
rating  with  comments  such  as  "free  and 
easy",  "torrid",  and  "hot"  appearing 
frequently.  One  "hot"  had  a  line  drawn 
through  it  with  "reformed"  written  di- 
rectly beneath. 


Charles  B.  Pearsc  '68,  the  oldest  living

22  Freshmen  Win 
Places  in  Glee  Club 

Schedule  Includes  Sarah 
Lawrence  and  Vassar ; 
Big    Group    Turns    Out 


As  a  result  of  the  Glee  Club  tryouts, 
concluded  last  Saturday  under  the  di- 
recticm  of  Robert  G.  Harrows,  professor 
of  music  and  leader  of  the  singers,  twenty- 
two  of  the  competing  122  members  of  the 
class  of  1945  have  been  admitted  to  the 
organization.  Because  of  the  unexpect- 
edly large  number  of  applicants,  40%  more 
than  usual,  Warren  G.  Hunke,  president 
of  the  Glee  Club,  explained  that  Barrows 
could  afford  to  be  stiflf  in  his  requirements 
and  that  Williams  will  have  the  "most 
musically  intelligent  Glee  Club  it  has  had 
in  many  years." 

Revealing  plans  for  the  coming  )ear, 
Hunke  declared  that  the  lirst  program  of 
the  season  will  be  at  Vassar  on  December 
13,  and  that  the  last  will  be  the  appearance 
of  the  Vassar  singers  at  Williamstown  on 
April  II. 

Sarah  Lawrence  Reappears 

Details  are  still  in  the  formative  stage 
regarding  a  proposed  concert  with  Welles- 
ley.  Sarah  Lawrence  will  appear  again 
this  year  on  an  undetermined  date. 
Hunke  expressed  his  wish  that  concerts 
with  Sarah  Lawrence  might  become  a 
tradition,  Williams  making  one  appearance 
at  Bronxville,  and  the  girl's  Glee  Club 
appearing  here  every  year. 

In  addition  to  these  joint  programs  with 
girl's  colleges,  Hunke  declared  that  the 
organization  hopes  to  give  a  Christmas 
presentation  in  New  York  on  December 
20  for  a  demanding  musical  audience,  thus 
receiving  expert  criticism. 
Octet  Badly  Hit 

Hunke  declared  that  the  octet,  which 
lost  four  men  by  graduation,  will  be  up  to 
standards  of  the  past  since  replacements 
will  not  be  difficult  with  the  amount  of 
new  talent. 

Freshmen  accepted  into  the  Glee  Club 
include    first    tenors:  C.    D.    Buck,    Jr 
Robert     H.     Clarkson,     Henry     Strong.

Williams'  d.lve  to  curtail  consuin|)tioTi 
of  national  resources  in  which  a  shortage 
exists,  launched  last  week  by  I'.  C. 
legislalioii  restricting  student  use  of  gas, 
continued  over  the  weekend  as  Professor 
Richard  A.  Newhall  wroti'  William  I'. 
Caiitwell,  3rd  '42,  requesting  him  to 
organize  a  committee  for  the  purpose  of 
collecting  waste  paper  from  college  build- 
ings and  social  units. 

Henderson  Motivates  Drive 

Mr.  Newhall's  re(|uest,  motivated  b\ 
the  ass.Tlion  of  Leon  Henderson,  chief  of 
the  Office  of  Price  Admiiiislralioii  and 
Civilian  Supply,  that  "the  need  fur  waste 
paper  and  rags  to  meet  the  present  defense 
re(|uircments  is  becoming  more  acute  each 
day,"  resulted  In  prompt  undergraduate 
action.  Cantwill  Iniinediatch'  appointed 
a  coniniittee  of  eighteen  to  be  in  charge  of 
the  collection  of  waste  paper  in  the  lifteen 
fraternities,  the  Clarlicld  Club,  and  the 
college  (liirniilories. 

Janitors  Will  Co-operate 

The  unclerniailuale  collectors  will  direct 
their  various  janitors  to  gather  all  wasle 
p.iper  in  large  containers.  Mr.  Newhall 
will  then  instruct  the  college  trucks  to 
pick  these  containers  up  at  specilied  times, 
and  transport  the  paper  lo  a  C(ill<'Cti(m 
depot.  Mr.  Newhall.  chairman  of  the 
faculty  now  acting  as  president  in  the 
absence  of  Dr.  Baxter,  will  arrange  with 
Mr.  Henderson's  office  for  shipment  of  ihc 
paper  to  some  national  defense  jmijecl  now 
in  nee<l  of  waste  papier. 

Razor  Blades  to  be  Collected 

Cantwell  expects  lo  concentrate  his 
campaign  on  waste  paper  for  the  next  few- 
weeks,  and  should  the  campaign  meet  with 
success,  will  then  place  containers  in  tlii' 
wash  rooms  of  all  college  traternilies  and 
dormitories  for  the  collection  of  old  razor 
blades.  .Mready  the  North  Adams  Red 
Cross  is  actively  collect  ing  old  razor  blades 
In  a  drive  to  check  the  nation's  drainage 
of  its  steel  resources. 

Mr.  Newhall  and  Cantwell  are  agreed 
th;;t  the  c<illege  throws  away  vast  quan- 
tities nf  waste  paper  each  day,  and  that 
collection  of  this  paper  and  transportation 
of  it  lo  the  proper  defense  projects  will 
make  a  material  conlrilmlion  to  the 
national  defense  elTort.  Both  men  feel 
the  collection  of  old  razor  blades,  pro- 
bably for  the  North  Adams  Red  Cross 
drive,  will  likewise  make  "a  small  but 
positive  contribution." 

Cantwell's  committee  for  the  collection 
of  both  the  waste  |iaper  and  the  old 
blades  includes:

Harvard  Offers  H2O 
To  Unbathed  Holyoke 

I'pon  learning  that  due  lo  a  water 
shortage  Holyoke  girls  had  been  forbidden 
to  use  H2O  last  week  except  "for  the  most 
vital  personal  needs"  the  Harvard  Crimson 
wired  that  institution  inviting  all  its 
pulchritude  to  "migrate  to  Harvard,  the 
Oasis  of  the  East"  and  hold  a  "liquid 
fiesta  in  Cambridge,  city  of  cleanliness." 
The  following  invitation  was  extended  as 
an  effort  lo  defend  "pure  smelling  woman- 
hood": 

"Have  heard  of  your  waterless  plight. 
Crimson  extends  invitation  to  all  Mount 
Holyoke  girls  to  come  to  Cambridge  and 
share  our  showers.  Harvard  men  fiiul 
liest  way  to  make  friends  is  sharing 
common  bath  facilities.  Now  when  you 
feel  like  girls  in  soap  ads  and  when  bath- 
less  Yalemen  won't  come  within  ten  feet 
of  you.  Harvard  wants  to  make  friends. 
Our  showers  are  big  enough  for  two. 
R.  S.V.  P." 

The  answer  to  which  the  Crimson  took 
active  heed  was: 

"We'd  gladly  come  with  towels  and  soap 
If  with  lran.sportation  you  will  cope."

To  the  Editors  of  Thk  Recohu: 

i  had  planned  this  year  to  get  along  without  TilK  Recoud, 
hut  find  that  it  cannot  be  done.  Frankly,  it  is  too  interesting 
and  well-written  a  paper.  I  am  particularly  ini|)ressed  with 
the  intelligence  and  force  behind  its  e<litonal  policy.  So  please 
renew  my  subscription. 

This  may  sound  to  you  like  a  tribute.  If  so,  it  is  a  sincere 
one.  For,  although  confessing  to  a  warm  liking  and  respect  for 
Williams,  I  certainly  am  not  bound  by  sentimental  ties  of  alumni 
loyalty.

Another  Chapter 

I'erliaps  you  were  piiz/,led  when  yon  read  tliat  Wil- 
liams is  goiiij;  to  collect  wa.ste  paper  for  Mr.  Hender- 
.son,  and  old  razor  blades  for  ii.se  as  .scraj)  steel.  Foi — 
as  yon  .say  —  almost  anywhere  on  Sj)riiig  Street  you 
can  buy  as  much  paper  as  you  could  possibly  carry, 
■  '  .  I.  .1  y  razor  blades  as  you'll  need  for  the  rest  of 
your  life. 

Tliiii  feeling  reflects  a  peculiar  short  coming  of  ours. 
Wc  refu.5e  to  believe  a  shortage  in  an  American  re- 
.source  exists  until  our  personal  consumption  of  com- 
modities made  from  that  resource  is  cut  to  a  threadbare 
miniinnm.  Arid  until  our  consumption  is  drastically 
curtailed,  we  won't  take  the  word  of  anybody  that  a 
shortage  exi.sts,  even  though  our  foremost  economic 
experts  —  men  with  the  intelligent  imagination  we 
lack  so  nmcli  —  a.ssure  us  that  it  is  true. 

Well,  after  a  lot  of  {(nibbling,  we  took  the  word  of 
the  experts  and  cut  down  our  consumption  of  gas. 
And  now  we're  going  to  take  their  word  again,  and 
con.serve  the  nation's  resources  of  pulp  and  steel  by 
.saving  our  waste  paper  and  old  razor  blades.  Mill 
Cantwell  is  tackling  the  job  with  the  aid  of  hou.se  and 
dormitory  representatives,  and  Mr.  Newhall  has 
l)r<)mi.sed  the  use  of  the  college  trucks  for  the  piu'po.se 
of  collection. 

As  Mr.  Newhall  a.sserts,  it's  loo  bad  we're  only  will- 
ing to  be  thrifty  and  conserve  under  .stress  of  war. 
It's  too  bad  that  (iermany  has  made  such  a  hcad- 
.start  on  .\merica  becau.se  for  years  the  Niizi  ccoiioiny 
.stressed  efficiency  and  conservation.  It's  too  had 
that  we  Americans  haven't  always  conserved  our 
valuable  resources  —  even  in  time  of  peace.  For 
it's  a  known  fact  that  the  world's  most  powerful 
nations  can  tirain  heavily  upon  va.st  resources  during 
emergencies  without  comi)letely  disrui)ting  tlieir 
economy  only  if  they  have  alitriys  been  thrifty. 

Of  cotir.se  our  wa.ste  paper  and  old  razor  blades 
won't  directly  cau.se  the  destruction  of  the  European 
tyrant.s.  But  when  the  dictators  do  meet  their 
Waterloo,  the  big  event  will  have  been  made  ijo.ssible 
by  millions  of  little  events  like  the  one  now  going  on 
in  Williamstown.

'Harvard   Crimson'   Quits 
Ranks    of    Isolationists 


Departing  from  the  isolationist  line  that  it  has  consistently 
upheld  since  the  outset  of  the  European  conflict,  the  Harvard 
Crimson  this  week  switched  to  a  policy  of  interventionism  when 
its  editorial  page  declared:  "Hitler  has  to  be  defeated  ..There 
can  be  no  isolation  for  America." 

Although  the  Crimson's  editorial  board,  elected  last  year, 
exerted  an  isolationist  stand  until  the  closing  of  college  in  June, 
this  week's  startling  change  of  policy  ciine  after  a  vote  of  the 
board  on  the  war  question  which  revealed  only  a  few  uncon- 
\'erted  isolationists. 

Before  this  week's  shift,  the  Crimson  ranked  with  the  Yale 
Daily  News  and  the  Priiicelonian  as  one  of  the  foremost  pro- 
ponents of  isolationism  in  undergraduate  newspaper  circles. 
So  far  this  year,  the  Yale  Daily  News  has  remained  editorially 
silent  on  the  war  issue. 

"We  believe  that  there  can  be  no  middle  ground  between 
the  way  of  life  of  the  democratic  countries  and  that  of  the  total- 
itarian powers.  Democracy  in  any  form  cannot  survive  in  a 
world  dominated  by  Hitlerism,  and  Hitlerism  cannot  survive 
in  a  world  It  cannot  dominate." 

"We  arc  well  aware  of  the  far  reaching  consequences  of  a  war. 
We  do  not  expect  it  to  be  won  easily.  We  do  not  expect  it  to 
be  over  in  the  next  few  months  or  even  in  the  next  few  years, 
:iiid  we  are  aware  that  many  of  us  and  of  our  friends  will  never 
live  to  see  the  final  victory.  We  know  that  this  country,  as 
well  as  all  the  other  countries  of  the  world,  will  be  impoverished 
by  the  fight  And  yet  knowing  all  this,  we  are  willing  to  go 
ahead." 


Letters  to   the   Editors 


To  the  Editor  of  The  Rkcohu: 

Williams  can  show  seme  shame  when  at  a  football  game  such 
as  yesterday's,  the  undergraduates  have  to  spend  half  of  their 
energy  trying  to  ignite  the  cheerleaders,  instead  of  being  able 
to  devote  all  of  it  to  their  team.  .Seldom,  if  ever,  has  there 
been  such  a  noticeable  lack  of  pep  and  enthusiasm  on  the  part 
of  the  cheerleaders  as  there  was  yesterday. 

Would  it  not  be  better  to  have  members  of  the  sophomore 
and  junior  classes  leading  the  cheers?  Certainly  they  would 
have  more  drive  and  force  then  the  present  group  of  seniors. 
They  would  also  do  a  better  job  of  it  as  seniors  after  they  have 
had  one  or  two  years'  experience. 

In  view  of  the  general  charge  of  lethargy  :iimed  at  the  college 
today,  it  would  seem  that  a  more  effective  method  of  uniting 


Soccer    Team    Prepares 

For   Opener    Saturday 

Two  weeks  of  intense  practice  sessions  and  an  abundance 
of  promising  sophomore  material  has  greatly  brightened  the 
outlook  for  Coach  Bullock's  soccer  team  which  opens  its  regular 
season  this  Saturday  down  at  Springfield  College. 

Faced  with  the  loss  of  his  entire  forward  wall.  Uncle  Ed  has 
been  skeptical  about  the  prospects  for  this  year's  team,  but  three 
experienced  players,  Johnny  Gibson,  Ben  Hurd,  and  Art  Lee, 
and  seven  or  eight  capable  newcomers  to  the  varsity  are  all 
showing  up  well  in  practice  in  the  fight  for  starting  positions  in 
the  forward  line  Saturday. 

.Sophomores  Bill  Brewer,  Bob  Benson,  Sinclair  Hart,  Hugh 
Masters,  Jack  Reed,  and  Bruce  Winter  have  shown  ability  as 
forwards,  and  juniors  Johnny  Fuller,  who  has  left  the  cross 
country  team  to  play  soccer,  and  Walt  Stults  are  adding  to  the 
scramble  for  starting  positions. 

\'cterans  will  fill  the  defensive  positions  for  the  most  part  in 
.Satuiday's  opener  with  Norm  Lowell  in  the  goal,  Captain  Joe 
Cochran  and  Binnie  Barnes  in  the  fullback  positions,  and 
Hedley  Reynolds,  Larry  Thompson,  Carter  Hall,  Gordie 
Getsinger,  George  Crandall,  or  Frank  Wozencraft  filling  the 
three  half-back  positions.

Wesleyan  Downed 
In  Season  Openers 

Former  Tops  Bates,  31-7, 
While  Brown  Whips 
Cardinal      Eleven,      20-6 


While  Williams  went  on  an  unchecked 
scoring  spree  against  Middlebury  Saturday 
afternoon,  it.s  Little  Three  rivals,  Amherst 
and  Wesleyan,  opened  their  1941  gridiron 
campaigns  with  a  respective  win  and  a 
loss  —  the  Lord  Jeffs  easily  rolling  over 
Hates,  31-7,  but  Wesleyan  catching  a 
Tarter  in  Brown  to  lose,  20-6. 

Coached  by  Raymond,  "Ducky"  Pond, 
of  Yale  fame,  the  Hates  eleven  put  up 
much  the  same  show  un  Pratt  Fiehl  as  did 
Miildlebur\'  on  Weston.  The  smaller 
Bates  liiif  held  Bobby  Blood  and  Captain 
Toninn'  Mulroy  in  check  until  the  second 
half,  but  from  there  on  it  was  all  Amherst. 
Amherst  Team  to  Beat 

Striking  on  the  gniunti  and  in  the  air, 
Lloyd  Jordan's  men  rolled  \i\i  four  secontl 
half  touchdowns,  which  buried  the  team

linilcK'  established  themselves  as  a  team 
to  beat  if  W'illiaios  is  to  retain  its  cham- 
pionship. 

Only  trouble  for  Jeff  Mentor  Jordan  is 
a  lack  of  realU'  capable  reserves.  His 
fust  eleven  can  be  depended  on  to  pla\ 
liall  with  any  team  o(  Amherst's  size,  and 
Blood  has  alread\'  been  nominated  fur 
All-America  honors,  with  Mulroy  a 
can(ii<late  wdio  cannot  be  counte<l  out  when 
seasonal  honors  are  distril)Uted.  But  the 
second  eleven  does  not  n-ach  the  calibre 
of  the  hrst. 

Sabrinas  to  Face  Dartmouth 

Kor  this  reason  Jordan  shot  almost 
ever>'  player  on  his  bench  into  Saturday's 
game  to  give  his  reserves  a  thorough 
training,  and  to  lind  more  replacements 
for  bis  gruelling  game  with  Dartmouth's 
Indians  ne.xt  Saturday  at  Hanover,  N.  H. 

In  the  Wesleyan  encounter,  SkipStahley 
of  Brown  and  Wes  Fesler  of  the  Cardinals, 
both  disciples  of  Harvard  Coach  Oick 
Harlow,  opened  seasons  as  head  coaches 
for  the  first  time.  And  it  was  Stahley  who 
better  employed  the  lrick\'  methods  of  his 
old  teacher  to  nip  tlu'  team  coached  b\'  his 
former  associate. 

Cardinal  Backs  Checked 

Most  fans  were  well  aware  of  the  power 
of  the  Brown  backlield,  which  is  two  deep 
in  every  position  and  strong  of  other 
capable  reserves.  Hut  not  everyone  knew 
that  the  Bruin  line  could  put  up  a  display 
which  held  down  such  stalwarts  as  Cap- 
tain Jim  Carrier,  Armand  Capadaqua, 
Doug  McKelcan  and  Benin"  Sadowski  to

a    net   rushing    yardage   of    minus   three. 

The  Wesleyan  score  came  late  in  the 
fourth  period  after  Stahley  had  thrown 
his  spares  into  the  game.  Carrier,  a  tower 
of  strength  on  the  defense  all  afternoon, 
wdiipped  a  pass  to  Jim  Laggien  on  the  live 
and  the  Cardinal  end  crossed  the  g(ial  line. 

For  the  better  part  of  the  afternoon, 
pesler's  men  were  ])inned  in  their  own 
territory  by  Ernie  .Savignano's  well-di- 
rected kicks,  wdiich  were  poorly  handled 
by  the  Wesleyan  backs.  Brown  scored 
once  in  each  of  the  last  three  periods  to 
roll  up  its  twenty  points.

Reduced    from    11     to    8 


Confusion  aliout  the  revamped  Iresliman 
public  speaking  set-up  at  Williams  was 
clarified  loda\-  by  Robert  F.  Young,  re- 
centh'  appointed  to  take  charge  of  |)ublic 
speaking  classes,  wdio  declared  that  there 
never  was  an  administration  plan  to 
abolish    instruction     by    undergraduates. 

Mr.  Young  disclosed  that  he  will  head  a 
centralized  and  sonu'what  more  formali/ed 
department  which  will  include  .seven  active 
undergraduate  instructors  and  one  re- 
servist. This  rrduci-s  the  total  of  student 
instructoi's  from  the  previous  eh'ven  to 
eight. 

Once  the  instructors  have  been  selected, 

.Mr.    \'ouiig    announced,    he    will    conduct

Rising  Board  Bills  Spells  Need  For 
Cooperative  Fraternity  Action  -  -  Now 


liy  Sam  IIunteb.  '-14 


Williams  is  experiencing  the  first  economic  pinch  of  the  war.  In  an  effort  to 
meet  the  15%  rise  in  current  wholesale  prices  over  last  year,  six  college  social 
organizations  have  begun  what  ma\  develop  into  a  campus-wide  movement  of 
board-rate  boosting.  And  throughout  Spring  Street  local  merchants,  faced  with 
a  new  10%  luxury  tax  and  an  advancing  wage  scale,  have  been  forced  into  a  position 
while  ihey  must  soon  increase  the  general  level  of  their  retail  prices. 
Fraternity  Living  Index 


On  the  campus  scene  Beta  Theta  Pi, 
the  Garfield  Club,  Chi  Psi,  Sigma  Phi, 
Phi  Sigma  Kappa,  and  Kappa  Al|)ha  have 
responded  to  the  increase  in  the  cost  of 
living  index  by  raising  their  weekly  board 
items  anywhere  from  2%,  to  16%,.

'Tentative 

The  stewards  anil  treasurers  of  these 
houses  which  have  niaiiilained  last  year's 
board  rate,  when  tpuslioned,  almost  un- 
animously indicated  that  they  also  were 
considering  higher  billing,  but  were  wait- 
ing to  see  what  action  other  houses  would 
take.  In  the  meantime  the  mounting 
food  costs  were  being  met  by  economies 
in   other  budgetary  items, 

Interest    in    FAC    Increases 

With  the  current  price  advances  .'ind 
the  .idded  desirability  of  cost  reduction 
interest  in  the  cooperative  fraternity 
management  scheme  which  the  Fraternity 
Alumni  Council  is  at  work  on  has  revived. 
The  attitude  of  imdergraduate  house 
treasurers  and  stewards  i|uestioned  by 
TiiK  REroiio  was  found  more  generally 
favoraliie  ;han  it  was  iast  >eai. 

Warner  Peck,  Chi  Psi  treasurer,  sounded 
the  accepted  feeling  on  the  issue.  He 
admitted  that  the  separate  management 
situation  had  been  (|uite  satisfactory  last 
year,  but  addeil — "This  year  it's  different. 
With  prices  going  up  as  they  are  there  is 
a  particular  need  for  a  cooperative  buying 
scheme  that  will  cut  down  costs."  The 
president  of  the  Beta  house,  where  the 
board  has  alread\'  been  raised,  declared — 
"Unless  a  cooperative  management  plan 
is  put  into  effect  soon,  we  may  be  forced  to 
raise  our  bill  an  additional  amount."  A 
Phi  Gamma  Delta  spokesman  told  Tiik 
Kkcobd:  "I  wish  it  (cooperative  buying) 
would  get  going.  If  there  was  ever  a  time 
for  it,  now  is  the  time."  This  view  was 
substantiated  in  part  by  Earle  O.  Brown, 


assistant  college  treasurer,  who  declared 
that  he  would  "heartily  favor  any  co- 
operative plan  which  could  reduce  jjrices — 
particularh-  in  these  days  when  |)rices  are 
generalh-   rising." 

Clark  Against  Co-op  Buying 
A  more  pessimistic  note  was  souiiiled  by 
Mr.  H.  B.  Clark,  U^.of  .NorthAdams,foo(l 
wholesaler  for  a  number  of  Willi  mis  frater- 
nities, lie  dismissed  cooperative  manage- 
ment and  cooperative  buying  as  impractic- 
al —  particularly  today  when  the  govern- 
ment has  entered  the  market  to  compete 
for  consumer  goods.  "It  would  be  im- 
possible to  put  into  effect  a  system  of  co- 
operati\"e  management  now,"  he  asserted, 
"because  of  government  priorities  on 
canned  goods  and  other  products  and  the 
uncertainties  of  delivery."  Mr.  Clark 
pointed  out  that  prices  may  rise  in  the

Boys'  Club  Summer  Camp  Provides 
Fun,  Frolic,  Food  for  Local  'Our  Gang' 


J>y  Gkorqk  Y.  Neurbas  '44_ 


This  is  the  first  in  a  series  of  articles  lo  acquaint  undergraduates  with  where  their 
money  goes  in  the  annual  WCA  Chest  Fund  Drive.    The  Editors. 

The  typical  Williams  undergraduate  is  five  feet,  10  mchcs  tall,  weighs  170  pounds, 
drinks  "the  wine  that  makes  hearts  light,"  and  generally  spends  four  years  at  Wil- 
liamstown in  blissful  ignorance  of  the  fact  that  for  the  past  eight  years  the  Boys' 
Club  of  the  Williams  Christian  Association  has  conducted  a  Summer  camp  for  some 
80  youngsters. 

That  siime  undergraduate  regretfully 
kissed  the  greenbacks  goodbye  last  fall 
when  a  "grasping"  Williams  Chest  Fund 
collector  approached  him,  equally  as 
ignorant  of  the  proposed  destination  of 
his  wad. 

$2,000  To  Boys'  Club 

Of  the  approximate  $5,000  collected  in 
the  drive  last  year,  $2,000  was  turned  over 
to  the  Boys'  Club  for  the  maintenance  of 
its  work  in  Williamstown.  About  $600 
of  this  appropriation  has  given  80  local 
youngsters,  ranging  in  age  from  seven  to 
16  years,  the  vacation  of  their  lives. 

The  camp,  situated  on  North  West 
Hill  below  the  old  C.  C.  C  camp  on  land 
loaned  by  the  U.  S.  Forestry  Service, 
(probably  more  familiar  to  our  typical 
Williams  man  as  the  site  of  the  old  barn 
destroyed  by  fire  at  the  1941  freshman 
picnic),  boasts  swimming  and  other  sports 
facilities,  and  has  its  own  cuisine  under  the 
expert  supervision  of  Chet  Williams. 
Boys  From  Iiooal  Araa 

The  Williamstown  and  local  farm  boys 


invade  the  camp  at  the  rate  of  20  per  week 
from  the  first  week  in  July  until  the  first 
week  in  August,  where  they  are  put  under 
the  direction  of  Ned  Walton,  full-time 
head  of  the  club.  Hays  Bownc '43,  assistant 
director,  Lionel  Martin,  ex-marine  froiu 
Williainstown,  and  several  others  of  the 
stafT. 

The  boys  are  housed  in  large  pyramid 
army  tents  which  provide  accommodations 
for  seven  campers  and  one  counsellor. 
Upon  arriva'  at  the  base,  they  are  divided 
into  two  tribes,  each  of  which  elects 
captains.  The  camp  then  sponsors  com- 
petition between  the  two  tribes  in  horse- 
shoes, volley  ball,  touch  football,  swim- 
ming, track  meets,  and  softball. 

Regular  camping  activities  such  as 
marshmallow  roasts,  hiking,  group  games, 
watermelon  fights,  and  treasure  hunts 
arc  scheduled,  and  at  the  Annual  Spring 
Father  and  Son  Banquet  awards  are  matle 
to  the  outstanding  athlete  and  best  camper 
in  each  group.

Northampton  Girls

As  Heat,  Light  Cops 


If  sometime  along  aliout  Amherst 
weekend  you  should  find  a  blonde  young 
Judy  shutting  the  window  in  your  dormi- 
tory bedroom  —  don't  jump  For  it's 
probably  only  a  Smith  "Heat  Cop"  off 
her  route,  and  mixing  pleasure  with 
business. 

Figuring  that  tipjiroximately  one-third 
of  the  heat  used  by  the  college  is  lost  in  the 
early  moriiing.  and  that  nuirh  electricity 
is  wasted  by  "extraneous"  light,  the  House 
of  Re|)resciitativ.'s  of  .'•'.n-,'.:!'.  O  llcge  has 
installed  a  "most  startling  innovation," 
the  practice  of  maintaining  student  heat 
and  light   "Cops." 

Until  Noveiuber  first  tlie.se  cops  will  go 
through  the  houses  closing  all  windows  at 
7:00  a.m..  and  from  that  time  till  spring 
all  windows  shall  be  closed  at  6:00  a.m. 
In  turn,  the  light  cops  .who.  with  the 
heat  cops,  are  appointed  for  a  term  of  one 
week)  will  be  responsible  for  turning  off 
lights  while  students  are  at  meals  and 
otherwise  con.serving  on  electricity. 
It's  all  in  the  name  of  national  defense.

Time  Is  Money 

Williams  fraternities,  like  millioii.s  of  other  consumcr.s,  have  already 
l)een  hit  l)y  ri.siiii,'  food  co.sts.  Kappa  Alpha  has  met  the  new  conditions 
by  rai.sing  it.s  liourd  bill  by  $1.50,  while  Chi  Psi  is  now  contemplating  a 
ten  per  cent  increa.se  over  its  present  rate  of  $10.50.  The  Garfield  (^lub, 
for  long  the  most  reasonable  eating  e.stablishment  on  campus,  has  been 
forced  to  boost  its  $9  weekly  hill  to  $10.  Other  social  units  have  effected 
50c  to  $1  increa.ses:  one  or  two  fraternities  are  still  vacillating  between 
higher  hills  or  less  expensive  meats  and  vegetables.  Delta  Phi  has  meet 
the  new  high  costs  of  food  in  perhaps  the  mo.st  .sen.sible  way  —  reducing 
luncheon  expenses  l)y  frequently  .serving  sandwiches. 

Perhaps  now  Cooperative  Management  will  be  a  more  meaningful 
jjhrase  to  an  undergraduate  body  long  apathetic  to  the  Fraternity  Alumni 
Committee,  which  has  been  laboring  since  last  June  to  evolve  a  Cooperative 
Management  plan  for  this  campus  Perhaps,  in  the  face  of  rising  co.sts, 
undergraduates  will  become  interested  in  a  cooperative  system  which  has 
materially  reduced  Amher.st  board  bills. 

If  undergraiUiates  are  not  interested,  the  Fraternity  Alumni  Committee 
will  probably  continue  functioning  in  its  customary  slow  way.  If  under- 
graduates do  not  press  their  alumni  representatives  to  speed  up  FAC 
progress,  Williams  will  jjrobably  live  another  three  years  on  the  same 
expen.sive  plane.  For  certainly  today  the  ineml)ers  of  the  FAC,  who  also 
have  businesses,  families,  and  problems  of  their  own  to  cope  with,  have  no 
incentive  to  accelerate  their  difficult  task. 

If  undergraduate  interest,  which  alone  can  provide  that  incentive,  is 
not  wJietted  by  today's  uiiprecedenteti  high  food  bills,  Cooi)erative 
Management  with  its  many  financial  .savings  will  probably  not  visit  this 
campus  during  our  college  years.  And  for  undergraduates  or  their 
pai-ents  today,  time  is  money  —  lots  of  it.

future  and  no  firm  would  now  contract 
at  a  set  rate  over  a  long  period  of  time  or 
take  on  any  new  accounts.  The  North 
Adams  broker  explained  his  personal 
objections  to  cooperative  management. 
"With  such  a  system,"  Mr.  Clark  de- 
clared, "you  arc  in  danger  of  the  com- 
munist attitude  of  eliminating  the  middle- 
man." He  contended  that  nothing  the 
Williams  social  oiganizations  might  do  in 
the  way  of  cooperative  action  could 
illeviate  the  burden  of  rising  prices. 
Spring  Street  Prices  Up 

On  Spring  .Street  the  burden  of  soar- 
ing prices  also  has  made  itself  felt.  Milk 
his  lisen  from  five  to  ten  cents  and  there 
is  the  possibility  that  soft  drinks  usually 
retailing  at  five  cents  may  advance  in 
price  as  they  have  in  New  N'ork.  Liquor 
prices  have  already  advanced  10%.  The 
general  1940-41  wholesale  prices  on  staple 
commodities  index  of  Spring  Street 
follows: 

September 
1940  1941 

Pork  Loins  $.25  $.32 

Ham  .23  .34 

Bacon  .20  .29 

Eggs,  doz.  .37  .46 

Butter,  lb.  .33  .41 

Flour,  1-8  bbl.  bag       .75  .93 

Despite  these  rises  in  wholesale  price 
Spring  Street  rcstauranteurs,  however,  arc 
still  selling  ham  andeggs, bacon  sandwiches, 
pork  chops,  and  pancakes  at  the  same 
retail  price  that  they  secured  last  year. 


The  Massachusetts  Library  Association 
is  holding  its  fall  meeting,  in  conjunction 
with  the  Western  Massachusetts  Library 
Club,  at  the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre 
this  weekend.  Max  H.  Flowers,  director 
of  the  theatre,  will  lecture  on  "Current 
American  Drama"  while  Miss  Lucy  Eu- 
genia Osborne,  custodian  of  the  Chapin 
Collection,  will  talk  about  "The  Chapin 
Library."  On  Saturday  morning  Dean 
Halfdan  Gregersen  will  address  the 
assemblage  on  the  topic  "The  Other 
Americas."  During  the  group's  brief 
stay  in  Williamstown,  the  Williams  Inn 
will  be  the  center  of  activities. 


With  an  eye  towards  Smith  and  Ben- 
nington the  administration  should  read  the 
following  which  appeared  as  an  official 
notice  in  the  Harvard  Crimson  last  week: 

"'All  freshmen  are  invited  to  teas  to  be 
held  in  Brooks  House  this  week  from  4  to 
6  o'clock,  Wellesley  or  RadclilTc  girls 
will  be  provided.  Occupants  of  Mower, 
Hollis,  Grays,  and  Wigglesworth  are  in- 
vited this  afternoon." 


Harvard's  placement  bureau  will 
no  longer  find  jobs  for  any  students  in 
private  or  non-defense  businesses,  thereby 
giving  complete  preference  to  the  defense 
field.  The  change  was  explained  by  a 
recent  cut  in  the  bureau's  budget. 

A  shortage  in  lalior  due  to  defense  work 
is  responsible  for  Yale's  breaking  all 
precedents  and  employing  undergraduates 
in  |he  college  dining  halls,  many  of  which 
are  endowed  by  Edward  S.  Harkness  with 
the  provision  that  no  students  work  in 
them.  His  estate  has  made  an  allowance 
under  the  circumstances.  To  reducg 
labor.  Commons  is  employing  the  lone 
unused  cafeteria  system.  Yale  also  is 
endangered  by  a  campus-wide  strike  of 
400  university  employees. 

Tradition  will  be  shattered  at  Harvard 
thij  fall  if  a  suitable  sponsor  and  broad- 
casting station  can  be  decided  upon  to 
put  the  Crimson's  football  games  on  the 
air.  With  the  exception  of  Yale-Harvard 
tilts,  this  has  never  been  done. 


Chaffeemen  Face 
Opener  Tomorrow 

Veteran  Deerfield  Line 
Should  Give  Yearling 
Booters       Severe       Test 


The  curtain  will  officially  rise  on 
freshman  sports  tomorrow  afternoon  at 
2:30  when  Coach  Clarence  C.  Chaffee's 
\'earling  soccer  team  pla>s  host  to  fast 
Deerfield  eleven  on  Cole  Field.  On  the 
basis  of  recent  scrinmiages  against  the 
varsity.  Chaffee  expressed  the  opinion 
that  the  chances  of  a  freshman  win  over 
its  annual  foe  were  "SO-SO." 

The  game  will  feature  a  fast  veteran 
Deerfield  forward  line  pitted  against  a 
Williams  defense  composed  of  live  former 
Deerfield  athletes.  Guarding  the  nets 
for  the  yearlings  will  be  I'om  Hoover,  last 
year's  Green  captain,  who  will  team  with 
fullbacks  Bart  Van  Eck  and  Bob  Chamber- 
lain, and  halfbacks  Denny  \'olkmann  and 
Gil  Lefferts  in  an  effort  to  stop  their  old 
mates.  Art  McComb,  the  only  non- 
Deerfield  player  on  the  defense,  will  be  at 
right  halfback,  the  same  position  that  his 
brother  pla\ed  on  last  fall's  varsity  soccer 
team. 

The  forward  wall  will  have  Cory  Wic-

Graff  Company  Opens 
Williams  Ballet  Season 

Inaugurating  this  year's  program  of 
outside  attractions  brought  to  Williints 
by  the  Adams  Theatre  Committee,  the 
Gr;iff  Ballet  will  appear  in  the  new  theatre 
on  Tuesday,  Oct.  14,  according  to  Max 
Flowers,   chairman    of   the   committee. 

The  Graff  ballet  troupe,  a  new  American 
company,  has  danced  dining  the  past  year 
in  many  other  colleges,  including  a  per 
formance  at  Amherst,  and  have  receivetl 
critical  acclaim  for  their  original  and 
imaginative  style.  Grace  and  Kurt  Graff, 
leaders  of  the  group,  do  most  of  the  solo 
parts,  and  will  be  assisted  by  nine  other 
dancers. 

The  performance  follows  the  plan  begun 
last  year  when  the  Chekho\'  Theatre 
Group  brought  Twelfth  Night  to  Williams- 
town.  The  outstanding  success  of  this 
experiment,  as  well  as  the  desire  to  utilize 
the  facilities  of  the  new  theatre  to  the 
utmost,  prompted  the  continuance  of  the 
policy,  according  to  Mr   Flowers. 


FLYING 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
explained  that  if  the  controversial  site 
lies  within  the  Boston  to  Albany  civil 
airway  route  the  case  is  one  for  Civil 
Aeronautics  Authorities  and  docs  not 
come  under  his  jurisdiction.  The  Civil 
Aeronautics  board  probably  will  not  claim 
jurisdiction  since  the  twenty  mile  air  lane 
lies  four  miles  below  the  property  of 
Donald  H.  Cole  where  the  field  is  located. 
Letter  in  N.  A.  Transcript 

Monday's  Transcript  reported  that 
several  men  working  in  a  field  near  the 
Cole  place,  had  been  "forced  to  flatten 
themselves  on  the  ground  because  a  plane 
flew  so  close  to  them."  Responding  to 
this  report,  the  officers  of  the  flying  club 
wrote  a  communication  which  appeared 
in  Tuesday's  issue  requesting  the  names 
of  those  "several  men"  so  that  they  might 
"apologize  to  them  personally." 

The  letter  also  answered  Captain  Cross' 
statement  that  the  flying  club  would  be 
unable  to  pay  for  any  damage  done. 
1  hey  assured  him  that  every  man  would 
be  "adequately  covered  by  liability  in- 
surance." To  his  saying  that  "a  very 
great  majority"  of  South  Williamstown 
people  were  opposed  to  the  airport  the 
communication  pointed  out  that  "one 
gentleman  prominently  connected  with 
the  affair  admitted  that  he  had  not  heard 
or  seen  a  plane  and  that  his  place  was  out 
of  the  way  of  any  aerial  threat." 

In  addition  Prof.  Nelson  S.  Bushnell, 
a  South  Williamstown  resident,  wrote  to 
the  .same  paper  expressing  the  opinion 
that  Cross'  attitude  was  not  "universally 
held"  in  the  community,  as  Cross  had 
stated.  He  went  on  to  say  that  "local 
residents  have  been  heard  to  comment  on 
the  fact  that  the  planes  quite  obviously 
take  pains  to  avoid  flying  over  houses." 

Regarding  the  members  of  the  flying 
club.  Attorney  O'Hearn  who  is  president 
of  the  North  Adams  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce said,  "They  mustn't  think  that 
just  because  they  arc  students  at  Williams 
college  they  can  disregard  the  rights  of 
residents  of  Williamstown."  He  went 
on  to  say  that  they  were  "inexperienced 
and  that  they  were  flying  in  a  haphazard 
manner,  carelessly  and  negligently  setting 
their  planes  down  on  the  field  and  gliding 
and  flying  at  low  altitudes,"

With  ipter-continentil  vacation  travel

Ickes  on  the  stump  for  gasoline  curtail- 
ment many  Americans  spent  their  vication 
close  to  home  this  year  and  so  it  was  with 
the  Williams  faculty.  With  the  exception 
of  a  few  men  who  visited  the  far  west  to 
study,  watch  the  Indian  snake  dances,  or 
view  geological  wonders,  the  professors 
and  families  confined   their  activities  to

Schuman  Completes  Book 

The  beginning  of  the  college  year  found 
many  of  the  faculty  with  books  in  various 
stages  of  development  and  some  already 
on  the  presses. 

Frederick  L.  Schuman,  Woodrow  Wil- 
son Professor  of  Government  completed 
his  book  A  Primer  of  Power  Politics  which 
is  now  in  the  hands  of  the  publishers. 
Associate  Professor  Charles  R.  Keller  put 
"what  he  hopes"  are  the  finishing  touches 
on  The  Second  Great  Awakening  in 
Connecticut,  another  work  in  the  Yale 
Historical  Series.  Robert  J.  A'len,  Assis-

in  Williamstown  making  final  revisions 
on  a  work  Life  In  Eighteenth  Century

Band  to  Boost  Purple 
Hopes  in  Princeton  Tilt 

Plenty  of  work,  musician.ship,  and 
intelligent  direction  by  Professor 
Joaquin  Nin-Culmell  has  produced 
at  last  a  band  that  will  make  Williams 
look  good  at  Princeton  no  matter 
how  the  Eph  eleven  makes  out  against 
the  Tigers,  according  to  Robert  Tully 
'42,  band  manager. 

Thirty-five  capable  Williams  mu- 
sicians will  start  for  Nassau  at  7 
o'clock  Saturday  morning,  Tully  re- 
vealed, and  many  of  them  will  return 
to  Williamstown  right  after  the  game. 
While  they  are  giving  the  Williams 
team  a  musical  boost  in  Palmer 
Stadium,  however,  they  can  be  count- 
ed on  to  put  on  a  display  both  of  good 
music  and  well-drilled  marching, 
says  Tully. 


Two  Freshmen  Are 
Accepted   To   Octet 

As  a  result  of  tryouts  held  hst  week, 
Warren  G.  Hunke  '42,  president  of  the 
(Aee  Club,  has  announced  the  acceptance 
of  one  senior,  one  sophomore,  ind  two 
freshmen  into  the  Williams  Glee  Club 
octet. 

The  members  of  the  octet  for  the  com- 
ing season  include;  first  tenors:  Hunke 
and  Maulsby;  second  tenors:  Richard  1.. 
Rising  '42  and  George  D.  Lawrence  '43;

Hamilton  Wright  Mabie 
Room  Is  Made  Practical 


Library  authorities  have  converted  the 
Hamilton  Wright  Mabie  Room  into  a 
periodical  center  in  order  to  insure  its 
steady  usage  by  students  and  towns- 
people. The  room,  designed  originally 
for  recreational  reading,  may  still  be  used 
for  that  purpose  as  well  as  for  the  perusal 
of  its  magazines  and  newspapers. 

The  change  was  motivated  by  the  fact 
that  too  many  students  were  using  the 
room  for  sleeping  purposes,  confusing  the 
word  "browsing"  with  "drowsing."  Very 
few  people  ever  used  the  books  which  were 
intended  to  provide  an  opportunity  for 
recreational  reading.  At  the  same  time, 
there  was  a  great  need  for  expansion  of  th& 
reference  room  due  to  new  acquisitions 
and  the  transfer  of  bibliography  material 
from  the  stacks  under  the  new  classifi- 
cation.

augmenting  the  Lawrence  Art  Museum's 
collection  of  colored  slides  by  preparing 
numerou'^  reproductions  of  famous  paint- 
ings to  be  found  in  the  Boston  area. 

Two  members  of  the  faculty  taught 
summer  school:  Associate  Professor  Ar- 
thur H.  Buffington  at  Michigan  and 
.Associate  Professor  Charles  (Irinini  at 
llar\'ard,  where  he  conducted  a  graduate 
course  in  French  Romanticism 

Profs.  Go  To  Convention 
The  convention  of  the  American  Chem- 
ical Society  held  in  Atlantic  city  during 
the  first  week  of  September  was  attended 
by  Messrs.  Daniel  B.  Clapp,  James  R. 
Curry,  John  F.  King,  Brainerd  Mears,  an  1 
J.  William  Zabor  of  the  Chemistry  De- 
partment. During  the  earlier  months  of 
the  summer,  Piofessor  King  was  held  in 
Williamstow  n  by  the  construction  work  on 
the  nvw  wing  of  the  Thompson  Chemical 
Laboratory.  Previous  to  the  Atlantic 
Cit\-  Trip,  Mr.  Zabor  wis  at  Woods  Hole 
working  in  connection  with  an  investi- 
gi'tion  of  ocean  water. 

At  the  same  place  was  .Allyn  J.  Witei- 
inan.  Associate  Professor  of  Biology,  who 
was  teaching  at  the  Woods  Hole  Marine 
Biological  Laboratory. 

With  the  aid  of  a  grant  from  the  Class 
of  1900  Fund,  Assistant  Professor  Samuel 
\.  Matthews,  also  of  the  Biology  Depart- 
ment, o\-ercame  the  restrictions  of  war 
and  Ickes  to  travel  to  La  Jolla,  California 
where  he  carried  on  research  at  the 
.Scripps  Institute. 

Geology  Department  Active 
Associate  Professor  Perr\-,  a  member  of 
the  Department  of  Cleology,  spent  most 
of  his  time  in  the  close  vicinity  of  Wil- 
liainstown  coordinating  the  seisniological 
records  in  the  (ieology  Laboratoi>\ 
Franklin  \'an  llouten  conducted  a  geo- 
logical expedition  through  points  of 
scientific  interest  in  the  western  states. 
He  also  visited  X'irginia  in  late  August  for 
an  investigation  of  possible  manganese 
property  for  a  commercial  ore  financing 
company  of  New  N'ork. 

Barnett's  Have  Twins 
William  D.  Wray,  instructor  in  mathe- 
matics, was  awarded  his  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Philosophy  by  Cornell  in  late  June  for 
his  thesis  on  Statistics. 

The  arrival  of  t\vins  at  Albany  on  julv 


SL'Coiid  solved  the  problem  of  "what  to  do 
in  the  summer"  for  \'iiicent  M.  Barnett 
Jr.,  an  instructor  in  Political  Science. 
Mr.  Barnett,  however,  did  take  enough 
time  from  his  parental  duties  to  write 
three  articles  and  several  book  reviews 
soon  to  be  published  and  at  the  same  time 
cullaborate  with  Professor  Max  I.erner  in 
forming  the  new  Politic  d  Science  5-6 
course  and  revising  the  1-2  course. 

Walter  B.  Smith,  Orriii  Sage  Professor 
of  Economics,  took  time  out  from  his 
travels  in  California,  Arizona,  and  New 
Mexico  to  gather  information  through 
obser\ation  antl  conversation  about  the 
work  being  done  in  regard  to  soil  con- 
servation in  these  states.  The  William 
Brough  Professor  of  Kconomics,  Walter 
W.  McLaren,  a  member  of  the  executive 
committee  of  the  "Conference  on  Cana- 
dian American  Affairs"  attended  a  four- 
day  session  at  Queens  College  and  parti- 
cipated in  the  discussion  on  Canadian- 
American  Collaboration  in  War. 

Se\'eral  grants  from  the  Class  of  1900 
Fund  provided  impetus  to  the  research 
work  of  Messrs.  A.  Edwin  Benfield, 
Alfred  C.  Emslic,  and  Ralph  P.  Winch, 
all  of  the  Physics  Department.  Emslie 
and  Winch  ha\-e  been  for  some  time 
conducting  research  in  the  field  of  atomic 
and  ionic  study  while  Mr.  Benlield  studied 
the  measurement  of  thermal  coiuluctivities 
of  rocks. 

Barrow  Completes  Preludes 

Robert  G.  Barrow,  Assistant  Professor 
of  Music  was  in  Williamstown  composing 
four  "Preludes  for  Organ"  to  be  published 
this  winter. 

Willis  1.  Milhani,  Field  Mem(>rial  Pro- 
fessor of  Astronomy,  completed  an  adden- 
dum for  his  book  Time  and  Time  Keepers 
which  will  go  into  print  with  the  Imperial 
Edition  this  fall.  Mr.  Milbam  also  spent 
much  time  revising  the  Astronomy  3-4 
course,  a  revision  aimed  to  inform  students 
on  material  which  will  be  valuable  in 
military,  naval,  and  aeron;iutical  science.

that  his  committee  will  convene  today  to

defense  of  the  eollegi'. 

Raid  Date  Uncertain 

The  raid  "on  the  tenth  of  October,  the 
IcHirteenth,  or  both  these  days"  will  be 
launched  from  secret  Army  bases,  from 
which  planes  will  attack  western  Massa- 
chusetts from  either  the  coast  or  the 
west.  Upon  bein^  spotted  by  central 
connnittees  ill  Portland,  lioston,  Ports-

Walsh  Heads  District 

The  entire  district  of  North  .^dains,

undergraduate  rejiresentatives.  Thus,  the 
defense  of  the  college  will  be  the  result  of 
the  correlated  efforts  of  these  three  bodies. 

The  procedure  of  protecting  the  town, 
idlhough  it  will  not  be  complicated,  will

Slated  for  Town  Soon 

I  New     Classes     Announced 
By   Local   Safety   Group 


Professor  Brainerd  Mears,  chairman  of 

I  the  local  Committee  on  Public  Safety,  has 

announced   the  forthcoming   organization 

of  an  evening  school  for  air  raid  wardens. 

Attendance  is  open   to  townspeople  and 

I  college  undergraduates.     There  will  be  no 

[  charge  for  the  instruction. 

Although  the  starting  dale  for  the  new 
defense  course  has  not  been  definitely  set, 
it  was  learned  that  classes  will  be  held  on 
Monday  and  Wednesday  evenings  for 
two-hour  periods.  The  entire  course  will 
consist  of  five-class  sessions.  Those  who 
fulfill  the  ten-hour  class  requirement 
and  pass  a  final  examination  will  receive 
certificates  giving  them  full  authority  as 
air  raid  wardens.  Instructors  are  to  be 
men  who  have  already  taken  the  course  in 
Pittsficid  and  passed  the  exam. 

Professor  Richard  A.  Newhall,  Acting 
President  of  the  College  and  Chairman

Critics  Flay  Wflliams  Fraternities 
As  'Smug, '  Idiotic, '  Anti-Educational 

'Clannish'    Houses    'Scorn    Scholastic   Duties,' 
Waste  Money;  Hell  Week   'Asinine' 

{This  article  presents  the  criticisms  uMch  in  the  past  have  been  leveled 
(II  \i  illiums  fraternities,  and  attempts  to  emhiate  those  rriticisms  in  terms 
of  the  Williams  of  1911.  Fnture  articles  uill  discuss  freshman  orientation 
programs,  pledging  policies.  Hell  Week,  fraternity  scholastic  altitudes,  and 
Cooperative  Management. — Tlie  Editors.) 

Even  before  the  William.s  fraternity  .sy.stem,  lauiiclied  hy  tlie  found- 
ing of  Kappa  Alpha  in  18:51$,  had  taken  full  root  on  Main  Street,  men  of 
recognized  ahility  and  .sincerity  were  already  questioning  the  right  of 
Williams  fraternities  to  exist.  During  the  I890'.s  there  were  charge.s  of 
frivolity,  corrui)t  polities,  secrcti.sni  in  a  non-secret  age,  and  moral 
corruption.  Later  came  charges  that  fraternity  expenses  were  un- 
necessarily high,  that  Hell  Week  was  idiotic,  that  fraternities  developed 
an  unhealthy  elanni.shne.ss  and  .scorned  .scholastic  achievement. 
Indictment  on  Five  Counts 

Williams  College  does  not  exist  so  Ihat  fifteen  fraternities  can  eat, 
(h'ink,  and  be  merry;  if  the  fraternities  can  no  longer  .supplement  the 
oollego  in  its  avowed  purpose  of  education,  they  have  outlived  their  u.se- 
fuhie.s.s.     Since    1833  this  has  been  the  main  tenet  of  fraternity  critics. 

Tliroughoul  the  hi.story  of  The  Rkcokd,  editors  have  continually 
indicted  the  Williams  fraternity  sy.stem  on  five  coimts — .scorn  of  .scliola.stic 
achievement.  Hell  Week,  unhealthy  clamii.shness.  imnece.s.sarily  high 
expen.ses,  and  pin-po.ses  incompatible  with  education.  Convinced  as  early 
as  1868  that  friiternities  were  not  fulfilling  their  educational  fimction  at 
Williams,  Profes.sor  John  Bascom  was  moved  to  assert  that  only  by  abol- 
ishing Williams  fraternities  could  the  college  eradicate  the  same  five  evils 
hiler  to  be  menlioned  in  The  Recohd. 

Fraternities:  Good  Fellowship 

No  one  in  his  rigiit  mind  coidd  .suggest  that  .solution  today.  For 
fraternities,  besides  being  the  centers  of  good  fellow.ship  they  want  to  lie, 
fulfill  a  need  the  college  caimot  supply  —  rooming  facilities  for  275  men 
and  dining  facilities  for  over  seventy  per  cent  of  the  college.  .\  renewal 
of  purpo.sc  on  the  part  of  fraternities  themselves,  ba.sed  on  a  knowledge  of 
fraternity  shcrtco'.i;i;igs  ajid  *hc  practical  vaethod>:  of  eli;nin;iti"g  tbi'in. 
can  alone  |)rovi(le  a  solution  to  the  fraternity  problem  of  1911. 

Many  have  charged  that  Williams  fraternities  .scorn  schola-stic 
acliievement.  Even  in  1868,  Dr.  Ba.scom,  later  to  become  the  University 
of  Wisconsin's  greale.st  president,  noted  that  fraternities  "often  directly 
injure  the  intellectual  character  of  their  number."  The  only  Williams 
matt  ever  to  reach  the  White  House  fought  the  fraternities'  .scorn  of 
.schola.slic  achievement  by  trying  to  form  an  independent,  non-secret 
.society  on  this  campus.  But  James  A.  Garfield's  effoit  failed  when  his 
followers  founded  the  mother  chai)tcr  of  Delta  ll|)siloii,  which  then  be- 
came a  part  of  the  very  system  he  had  op|)o.se<l.  The  inc()nii)alibility  of 
fraternity  and  education  was  cited  again  in  1931,  when  President  Tyler 
DeiHictt  warned  that  Williams  fraternities  were  "disregarding  their 
scholastic  standing."

Franklin  Will  Open 
'41  Lecture  Series 

Professor  to  Describe 
Nazi  Penetration  of 
S.  A.  Tomorrow  at  7:45 


Breaking  for  the  first  time  in  years  the 
tradition  of  importing  all  its  speakers, 
the  Williams  Lecture  Committee  will 
present  Assistant  Professor  Albert  13. 
Franklin  of  the  Williams  Romanic 
Languages  Department  tomorrow  eve- 
ning in  Jesup  at  7:45  to  open  the  1941-42 
season  with  a  discussion  of  "Nazi  Penetra- 
tion in  Latin  America:  the  Example  of 
Ecuador." 

Studied  in  Ecuador 

Dr.  Franklin,  who  joined  the  Williams 
faculty  in  1939,  was  granted  a  leave  of 
ahscnce  last  year  to  study  the  social  back- 
ground of  contemporary  literature  in  the 
Andean  countries  of  South  America.  In 
Ecuador,  where  he  did  most  of  his  work, 
he  gathered  a  considerable  fund  of  in- 
formation on  the  political  set-up  in  Latin 
America. 

When  he  returned  to  his  Williams  work 
this  year  he  not  only  continued  his  lan- 
guage work  but  in  addition  took  up  the 
teaching  of  Enrique  S.  deLozada's  Latin- 
American  relations  course  (Poli.  Sci.  9-10) 
in  collaboration  with  Dr.  Jose  Antonio 
Arze.  He  has  told  his  classes  that  the 
governments  of  many  of  our  good-neighbor 
countries  are  using  the  Nazi  label  to  crack 
down  on  opposition  groups  much  as  the 
communist  label  was  formerly  used.

Springfield  Downs 
Soccer  Team,  3-2 

Gymnasts  Score  First 
Goal  on  Disputed  Play; 
Simson  and  Gibson  Tally 


Under  a  blistering  sun  Williams'  soccer 
team  went  down  to  a  3-2  defeat  at  the 
hands  of  the  New  England  champions, 
Springfield  College,  in  its  opening  game  of 
the  season  Saturday  on  the  Gynmasts' 
home  field. 

Gibson  Scores  First 

Althcmgh  the  Pur|)le  managed  to  score 
(irst  and  to  hold  a  1-0  lead  until  the  second 
period,  a  couple  of  breaks  and  the  superior 
conditiiming  and  ball  handling .  of  the 
Springfield  squad  sent  the  Gynina.sts  into 
a  2-1  lead  at  the  half  and  a  3-1  lead  at  the 
end  of  the  third  period. 

Johnny  Gibson,  playing  left  inside  for 
Williams,  scored  the  first  goal  of  the  game 
in  the  initial  period  on  a  beautiful  pass 
from  Kio  Turumi,  little  Japanese  player 
who  stayed  in  the  game  for  the  full  four 
quarters.  Gibson  put  the  ball  away  from 
about  fifteen  feet  out  at  the  edge  of  the 
penalty  area. 

Purple  Protests  Decision 

Fate  took  charge  in  the  second  period 
when  Springfield  scored  its  first  goal. 
Potter  of  Springfield  kicked  a  low  hard 
ball  at  the  Williams  goal  which  Norm 
Lowell  stopped  on  the  ground,  but  the 
referee  ruled  that  the  shot  was  already 
over  the  goal  line  when  stopped.  Wil- 
liams protested  in  vain  that  the  referee

Fusty  Bus  Strands 

Band  on   Tiger  Trip 

History  repeated  itself  SaturduN 
afternoon  when  the  brightly  cloaked 
Williams  band,  having  been  ile- 
taiiied  for  more  than  half  :ui  houi  in 
New  York  City,  arrived  l;Ue  at  ihe 
Palmer  Statliuni — just  in  lime  to  see 
the  Tigers  score  their  first  touch- 
<lown.  Although  the  motor  had 
been  spluttering  all  the  way  from 
the  Herkshires,  the  new  driver  picked 
up  in  the  metropolis  refused  to  lake 
the  chance  that  it  would  break  (io\sn 
on  the  wa\'  to  Princeton.  Conse- 
quently the  nuisieiiins  were  forced 
to  wait  until  another  bus  was  driven 
over  from  yueens  Ijefore  eontimiing 
their  journey.  Two  years  ago  the 
band  also  arrived  late  at  the  Palmer 
Stadium,  its  bus  having  broken  down 
en  route. 


Newhall  Deplores

Incident  in  Letter 

Presents  Problem  of 
Athletes  on  No-Cuts 
for        Campus        Study 


To  the  Editor  of  Tuk  RKcmin: 

The  hurly-burly  last  week  abcjul  a 
couple  of  football  players  ina\'  serve  to 
advertise  to  the  campus  a  state  of  alTairs 
which  arises,  in  large  measure,  from  an 
undeveloped  condition  of  student  opinion. 
It  is  hard  to  believe  that  all  the  under- 
graduates realize  how  mildh'  ridiculous  it 
is   to   imitate  a   second   class    Hcjilywood 

C'lni     (.at^rt-iTiir     U.(»li,»rt      Ta^"lnrl     with     ;H1 

airplane  carrying  the  hero  diriri  ici  the 
football  lield  just  In  time  lo  maki'  the 
winning  touchdown.  It  is  hard  lo  belie\e 
that  students  realize  how  luiniilialini;  il  is 
for  coaches,  managers,  and  leammates  to 
be  forced  into  the  false  p(isilion  of  askin,t; 
special  jjrivilege  for  irresponsible  pla\"ers 
who  presume  upon  their  alhlclic  iibilities. 
Team  work  and  sporlsnianship  slioiild  net 
be  confined  to  the  pUning  lielil.  An 
athlete,  who  is  in  difficulties  because  he 
cannot  grasp  Kaiu's  Critique  of  Pure 
Reason,  may  have  an  alibi,  but  one  who 
gels  himself  and  ihe  team  into  I  rouble, 
merely  because  he  refuses  lo  take  ortlinar>' 
care  of  his  daily  program,  or  to  use  an 
effective  alarm  clock,  is  entitled  only  to 
public  condemnation,  because  ill  fact  he 
has  been  disloyal  to  his  fellow  athletes 
who  have  made  the  neeessar\'  effort  lo 
conform  to  the  sysitem  of  which  I  hey  are 
all  a  part.  It  is  hard  to  believe  thai 
students  realize  how  unfair  il  is  lo  the 
Dean  to  try  to  pass  the  buck  to  him  for  a 
situation  created  by  the  careless  non- 
chalance of  one  or  iwo  men.  The  Dean 
is  the  admini.strator  of  a  system,  and  he 
very  properly  refuses  to  make  exceptions. 
It  is  even  more  unfair  and,  indeed,  some- 
wOiat  unscrupulous  to  urge  upon  an  in- 
structor an  alteration  of  the  normal 
schetlule.  No  instructor  has  any  autho- 
rity to  make  alterations  to  accommodale 
students  who  get  themselves  into  a  jam, 
and  any  instructor  who  has  done  so  has 
exceeded  the  powers  of  his  position.  Such 
procedure  encourages  and  contributes 
to  .scholastic  and  administrative  anarchy. 
If  there  must  be  some  authority  to  grant 
dispensations  on  very  rare  occasions,  it 
should  not  be  looked  fitr  either  in  ihe 
Dean's  Oflice  or  in  the  classroom. 

My  letter  addressed  last  'I'hursda\  lo 
the  football  coach  will  help  to  make  ihe 
situation  clear.  It  is  quoted  here  in  full. 
"Dear  Mr.  Caldwell: 

"I  have  just  addressed  a  leller  lo  Dean 
Gregersen  telling  him  that  I  am  perniilling 
A.  G.  Hearne,  '42,  to  be  absent  from  His- 
tory 7  on  Saturday,  October  4,  without 
incurring  penalty.  I  do  not  need  to  ex- 
plain to  you  the  l)ackRround  of  this.  I 
want  to  emphasize,  however,  that  I  am 
making  a  deliberate  concession  to  jou  and 
to  the  members  of  the  Williams  team. 

"The  reason  why  I  am  doing  this  arises 
from  Mr.  Colman's  explanation  that  the 
two  players  whose  "no-cut"  status  would 
ordinarily  keep  them  in  Williamstown  on 
Saturday,  play  the  same  position  on  the

The  Story  On   Page  One 

Uiilcs.s  yon  think  tliut  frati'i-iiitics  arc  doiiif?  a  good  job  of  .siipplc- 
mciilin^-  I  lie  piirpo.scs  of  Williaiii.s  ("ollogc,  tlii-ii  tho  story  which  appear.s 
on  the  I'ir.st  pago  of  tonight's  Uioroui)  and  the  stories  that  will  api)ear 
there  in  ensuing  weeks  will  seem  to  you  unju.stifiecl.  To  tho.se  of  us  who 
have  heeii  exploring  tho  jii.stifieations  Williams  fraternities  can  give  for 
I  heir  exisleiiee  there  .seems  to  he  a  real  need  for  tonight '.s  .story,  and  for 
those  stories  that  will  delve  into  siiecific  .shortcomings  of  our  fraternities 
and  suggest  specific  iinprovenients. 

Imomi  the  time  of  .hihn  iJascom  through  that  of  Tyler  Dennett, 
Williams  fraternities  have  withstood  all  the  criticisms  that  have  been 
thrown  their  way.  They  have  weathered  criticism  by  becoming  more 
entrenched  and  more  self-satisfied.  Entrenchment  and  self-satisfaction, 
and  failure  to  act  in  a  common  body,  have  undermined  the  nations  of 
Western  Society:  they  are  doing  the  same  to  the  fraternities  of  Williams 
College,  which  —  in  .spite  of  their  shortcomings  —  are  worth  saving  and 
improving  for  the  values  they  do  teach,  and  for  the  positive  force  they 
can  he. 

They  can  lie  saved,  however,  only  l)y  groups  of  thirty  and  forty  men 
w  ho  are  eager  and  desirous  of  working  in  conjunction  with  the  .set  purposes 
of  the  college;  by  men  who  .see  that  fraternities  naturally  serve  as  a  drag 
on  the  educational  process,  and  who  likewi.se  see  that  if  Williams  frater- 
nities are  to  lust  their  relulioiisliip  to  the  educational  in-oce.ss,  must  first 
be  improved. 

We  hope  that  undergiaduates  —  freshmen  especially  —  and  alumni 
alike  will  read  this  series  of  articles.  We  hope  that  they  will  see  that 
nineh  of  the  future  of  (heir  fraternities,  and  of  the  kind  of  education  this 
college  can  gi\e.  depends  upon  their  attitudes  toward  the  fraternity  prob- 
lem of  19  n. 

There  is  a  wide  iliffeieiice  in  attitude  between  the  national  president 
of  one  of  A\  illiams'  fraternities  who  reported  to  TllK  Rkcoiid  with  satis- 
faction this  sniemer  that  the  undergraduate  members  of  his  house  "work 
their  heads  off  to  see  that  the  boys  have  'respectable'  marks"  —  there  is  a 
wide  difference  between  that  attitude  and  the  attitude  of  tliis  college, 
which  ex|)ccts,  and  rightfully,  .something  better  than  respectability  in 
.sclidlarship. 

Williams  and  its  fraternities  have  a  more  important  task  today  than 
turning  out  res|)eetable  gentlemen.  Together  they  are  obligated  to  do 
for  every  member  and  for  every  entering  freshman  what  the  father  of 
one  man  in  the  Class  of  i9f,5  lias  ilsked  of  the  .seniors  in  his  .son's  hoii.se: 
"I  feel  so  .strongly  about  the  great  problems  that  are  lacing  us  all,  due  to 
present  world  conditions,  that  everyone,  particularly  the  coming  genera- 
tion, should  realize  the  .seriousness  of  the  demands  tluit  will  be  made  upon 
all  of  us.  Therefore,  any  encouragemeni  you  can  give  him  to  get  the  best 
out  of  Williams  and  college  life  will  be  heartily  welcomed  by  mo  and  I  feel 
very  .sure,  by  him." 

It  is  bocan.se  Williams  fraternities  liave  failed  miserably  in  a  task  that 
is  within  their  ability  —  getting  the  best  out  of  Williams  —  that  the  .story 
on  i)age  one  lias  been  written. 


Mr.  Newhall  and  Princeton 

[/asl  weekend  Williams  undergraduates  —  already  worried  over 
the  loss  of  Daly,  Brotlnvell,  and  Forl)es  —  .saw  their  team  threatened 
with  a  new  di.saster.  The  first  and  .second  .string  varsity  right  ends  were 
both  on  no-cuts,  and  Princeton  was  waiting. 

What  was  done  to  ward  off  that  (li.sa.ster  is  cogently  reiiorted  in  Mr. 
Newhall's  letter.  If  The  Hecojcd  ever  received  a  letter  which  merited 
|)ublicatioii,  Mr.  Ncwliall's  is  that  letter. 

Last  week  Princeton-conscious  men  .said :  "Damn  it,  these  cut  regula- 
tions are  a  hell  of  a  nuisance."  Truth  is,  they  were  nui.sances  for  only 
four  men  of  the  football  squad. 

La.st  week  senior  undergraduate  leaders,  who  them.selves  had  lived 
up  io  college  regulations,  plead  the  case  of  two  teammates  who  had  put 
their  team  in  a  jam  by  not  obeying  tlie  law. 

Last  week  the  men  who  argued  honestly  with  the  proper  authority 
for  the  release  of  one  man  on  no-cuts,  at  the  same  time  worked  under- 
ground and  illegally  to  effect  the  release  of  the  other.  And  when  the 
proper  authority  had  generously  given  the  team  its  much-needed  player, 
he  found  that  the  second  player  had  been  released  illegally  from  his  no- 
cut  obligations  —  behind  Mr.  Newhall's  hack.  The  two  players  concern- 
etl  did  not  in  any  way  solicit  the  sup|)ort  of  the  men  who  sought  to  obtain 
their  .services  for  the  team. 

Read  Mr.  Newhall's  letter.  It  will  make  you  squirm  more  un- 
comfortably than  last  Saturday's  .score  did.

team.  I  recognize  that  tliia  is  a  unique 
state  of  affairs  and  ttiat  it  puts  the  team 
at  a  very  peculiar  disadvantage.  It  is  to 
mitigate  that  disadvantage  that  I  have 
given  this  permission,  described  al)ove,  (o 
Hearne. 

"I  would  like  to  emphasize  to  you  my 
feeling  that  he  and  Mucha  are  the  ones 
who  are  to  tilame  for  the  jam  in  which  you 
and  the  team  frntl  yourselves.  Probably 
you  and  your  assistants  and  the  under- 
graduate pla>'ers  are  full>'  aware  of  this. 
I  would  like  to  express  the  earnest  hope 
that  you  can  lind  within  the  framework  of 
the  athletic  system  some  way  of  disci- 
plining careless  and  irre.sponsil)le  players, 
such  as  tho.se  two,  for  creating  the  em- 
barrassing situation  which  has  t)een 
before  us." 

You  will  observe  that  this  concession 
was  based  upon  the  unique  situation  which 
IVIr.  Colman  described.  It  was  made  in 
such  way  as  to  involve  a  minimum  sus- 
pension of  the  rules,  but  one  sufficient  in 
itself  to  help  the  team  at  the  point  where 
it  needed  help.  It  was  an  act  of  authority 
taken  frankly  and  openly,  without  sub- 
terfuge and  with  the  full  acceptance  of 
responsibility,  knowing  that  it  was  certain 
to  be  criticized  in  some  quarters.  In 
taking  this  action  I  was  hopeful  that  it 
would  offer  the  opportunity  to  present  to 
the  campus  the  problem,  which  affairs  of 
this  sort  present,  so  that  intelligent  student 
opinion  could  attempt  to  prevent  their 
recurrence. 

Since  writing  to  Mr.  Caldwell  I  have 
learned  that  other,  and  somewhat  devious 
means,  were  resorteti  to  successfully  with 
respect   to   Mucha.     In    my   opinion    this

FRATERNITIES 

(Continued  from  ijage  1) 
Fraternities :  Drag  on  Education 
Culmination  of  the  criticism  leveled 
at  the  fraternities'  scorn  of  scholarship 
came  when  William  H.  Curtiss  '40,  himself 
a  fraternity  man,  editorialized  in  'I'liK 
REct>HD;  "There  are  many  who  will  argue 
that  the  fraternities'  purpose  is  purely 
social.  If  this  is  tru( —  and  we  hope  that 
it  is  not  —  then  it  is  paradoxical  that 
organisations  which  act  as  a  drag  on 
education  should  retain  a  posititm  of 
privilege  in  an  institution  which  ha.s  as 
its  avowed  purpose  the  giving  of  the  best 
possible  education."  Despite  the  warn- 
ings of  all  these  men,  nian>'  fraternity 
nienibers  today  tend  —  regardless  of  the 


true  facts  —  tf)  look  down  on  those  social 
units  which  further  the  college's  edu- 
cational purpose  by  capable  scholarship. 
Damning  evidence  against  the  frater- 
nities has  l)een  the  fact  that  the  greatest 
display  of  fraternity  spirit  and  activity 
conies  during  the  "humiliations  and 
idiocies  of  Hell  Week."  A  member  of 
1942  has  descritjed  a  part  of  last  year's 
traditional  activities;  "The  Sigs  throw 
their  freshmen  out  of  the  house  and  pelt 
them  with  snowballs;  the  Alpha  Delta 
keep  their  freshmen  up  all  night  and  day 
before  initiation  asking  them  who  gave 
Williams  its  line  library;  the  Zetes  drop 
their  freshmen  out  in  he  woods  and  the 
Hetas  parade  them  up  and  down  Spring 
Street    with    guns   on   their   shoulders." 


Every  fraternity,  except  Phi  Ganniia 
Delta,  which  has  adopted  a  Hell  Week 
program  of  "useful  projects"  to  replace 
the  "asininities  of  tradition,"  hindered 
the  educational  cause  of  the  college  l)\- 
such  "idiotic"  activities  last  year. 

'Big  3-4-6" :  SeU-Sufficient 

Critics  of  the  fraternities  concede  that 
clannishness  is  inherent  in  any  social 
system.  But  they  constantly  attack  the 
"unhealthy"  clannishness  of  Williams, 
which  produces  the  smugness  and  general 
feeling  of  self-sufficiency  so  detrimental 
to  education.  The  disdain  of  the  self- 
styled  "Big  Three"  or  "Big  Four"  or 
"Big  Six"  towards  the  rest  of  the  houses 
has  in  the  past  produced  "a  social  system 
without  unity."  A  Record  editorial  of 
last  June  condemned  this  clannishness 
which  "puts  the  greatest  seal  of  approval 
on  the  man  who  has  confirmed  to  a  mould 
of  pleasant  mediocrity." 

Because  of  this  clannishness  —  becau.se 
many  fraternity  men  have  long  felt  that 
men  with  brains  and  intellectual  ambitions 
are  by  nature  incongenial  and  poor  com- 
panions —  the  Garfield  Club  has  for  years 
held  a  large  number  of  the  college's  best 
minds  within  its  membership.  Last  month 
nearly  half  the  Garfield,  Tyng,  and  Mark 
Hopkins  Scholars  announced  by  Dr. 
Baxter  were  members  of  the  club.  Thomas 
J.  Wood,  director  of  admissions,  has  often 
noticed  that  high  school  men  are  afraid  to 
enter  Williams  because  prep  school  grad- 
uates have  a  semi-monopoly  on  fraternity 
membership. 

High  Costs  —  'So  What?' 

Only  evil  of  Williams  fraternities  uni- 
versally acknowledged  by  the  houses  is 
the  unnecessarily  high  expense  of  frater- 
nity membership.  But  despite  this  ac- 
knowledgement, the  Fraternity  Alumni 
Committee,  formed  by  the  houses  last 
spring  to  evolve  a  Cooperative  Manage- 
ment plan  for  Williams,  has  failed  so  far 
to  receive  interested  support  from  more 
than  a  handful  of  fraternity  members. 
Today  Mr.  Wood  admits  the  college  loses 
many  good  men  each  year  who  cannot 
afford  a  fraternity  here,  but  who  do  not 
wish  to  be  excluded  from  house  member- 
ship in  the  college  of  their  choice. 

Because  of  their  clannishness,  "avowed 
playful  purpose,"  and  because  they  expend 
more  energy  on  the  idiocies  of  Hell  Week 
than  on  encouraging  their  members  to 
meet  their  scholastic  obligations,  Williams 
fraternities  have  been  accused  of  harboring 
purposes  counter  to  the  educational  aims 
of  Williams  College.  President  Dennett 
asserted  in  1934  that  he  felt  the  lowest 
third  of  each  entering  class  received  the 
most  attention  from  fraternities  during 
rushing  —  further  evidence  that  frater- 
nities here  are  not  primarily  concerned 
with  education.  Even  as  late  as  1940, 
only  four  houses  —  Beta  Theta  Pi,  Delta 
Psi,  Phi  Gamma  Delta,  and  Sigma  Phi  — 
had  instituted  programs  developed  to 
instill  in  their  members  a  desire  to  excel 
scholastically.

FOOTBALL 

(Contillu<;d  from  page  1) 

Except  for  these  two  big  advances,  Wil- 
liams was  held  pretty  much  in  check  until 
il  scored  in  the  linal  period.  The  Purple 
took  over  the  ball  on  their  own  21  after 
holding  Princeton  on  downs.  Hayes  went 
for  no  gain.  And  then  his  pass  to  Han- 
nock  was  good  for  six.  A  Hayes- Wallace 
aerial  gained  to  the  .SO.  Then  the  175- 
pound  sophomore  fire<l  his  fourth  straight 
|)ass  into  the  arms  of  Heariie  on  the 
Princeton  22.  TJie  senior  end  gathered 
in  the  ball  and  galloped  his  way  across  the 
line  without  a  hand  being  laid  on  him.

This  tally  seemed  to  charge  the  Wil- 
liams   team   with  a   badly   needed   spark.

Marsh  Hannock,  (extreme  righl)  is  pictured  la't  in  the  second  period  after  haoltig  pass- 
ed to  Bob  Wallace  (66).  second  from  the  left.  Wallace  ciugh>  the  ball  (see  arrow)  on 
the  Princeton  20  yard  line,  was  finally  tackled  on  the  13.  Other  Purple  players  are 
Callahan  (45).  Courier  (75),  Stiegman  (64).  and  Wilson  (99).  while  the  Tigers  are 
Basse  (26).   Howley  (74).   Headley  (63)  and  Come  (50). 


After  taking  the  ball  from  Princeton,  it 
started  another  drive  down  fielJ,  which 
forced  Princeton  Coach  Tad  Wieman  to 
hurl  all  his  first  stringers  back  into  the 
breach . 

A  Hayes  pass  to  Hcarne  who  was  in  the 
clear  was  too  long.  But  on  the  next  play 
the  officials  ruled  interference  on  a  pass 
to  Dick  iVleans,  and  Williams  took  the 
ball   on    their    own    46.     Herbie    Holden

The  Purple's  linal  successful  uflfensive

George  Sinison  scoring  from  in  front  of  the

Professor  Mears  warned  slu<lents  that

the  Purple  a  free  kick. 

Close  on  the  heels  of  the  home  team's 
first  score,  Schmidt  kicked  the  ball  past 
Lowell  after  a  series  of  clever  passes  by 
the  Springfield  forward  line  to  put  the 
Gymnasts  in  a  2-1  lead  at  the  half.  Their 
final  score  came  in  the  third  period  when 
Carlsen  slipped  a  low  shot  into  the  corner

18  Top  Musicians 
and  Entertainers 


The  freshnwn  soccer  team  finally  came 
to  life  in  the  fourth  period  of  its  opening 
clash  against  Deerfield  Saturday  afternoon 
on  Cole  Field  to  knot  the  score  and  gain 
an  overtime  2-2  tie  with  its  annual  foe. 
Although  outrun  by  the  speedy  Cireen 
forward  line,  the  ChalTeemen  twice  cime 
from  behind,  sending  the  gime  into  the 
fourth  extra-period  encounter  between 
these  two   rivals   in  the   past    fi\e   years. 

The  yearling  offense  was  handicapped 
most  of  the  first  half  by  the  inability  of 
the  halfbacks  to  feed  the  ball  up  to  the 
forward  line.  Time  and  again  the  fresh- 
men would  gain  possession  of  the  ball  in 
their  own  territory  only  to  lose  it  in  at- 
tempting to  pass  it  up  the  field. 

Deerfield  Scores  First 

The  prep  school  eleven  was  the  first  to 
find  the  nets  near  the  start  of  the  second 
period  when  its  left  inside  hoote<l  the 
ball  past  goalie  Tom  Hoover  A  penalty 
kick  soon  after,  however,  ga\'e  the  fresh- 
men a  chance  to  tie  the  score,  and  right 
fullback  r5art\'an  Eck  came  through  in  the 
pinch,  booting  the  ball  just  bevond  the 
reach  of  the  Deerfield  netmaii. 

In  the  third  period  the  Green  forged 
aheati  for  the  second  time  by  virtue  of 
another  well-dirccteJ'  kick  past  goalie 
Hoowr.  But  the  gray-jerseycd  first  year 
men  could  not  be  denied,  and  in  the  middle 
of  the  fourth  quarter  a  drive  down  the 
field  was  climaxed  by  center  forward 
Larry  .Smith's  goal,  tying  the  score  once 
again. 

In  the  two  five  minute  overtimes, 
neither  team  coukl  produce  the  winning 
tally,  despite  frequent  scoring  o])por- 
tunitics.  One  of  the  Deerfield  shots 
bounced  off  the  freshman  crossbar,  while 
the  1945  team  themselves  just  failed  to 
convert  a  pair  of  corner  kicks.

(Continued  from  page  2) 

was  a  deliberate  act  of  bad  faith  towards 
me.  It  convinces  me  that  my  attempt  to 
see  the  team's  point  of  view,  and  to  do 
something  "reasonable"  to  meet  it,  has 
been  treated  with  the  same  irresjionsible 
nonchalance  which  created  the  original 
difficulty.

Army  Air  Raiders 
To  Attack  College 
In  Mass  Onslaught 

Civil  Defense  to  Swing 
Into  Action  Whether 
Raid  Hits  Today  or  14th 


hy  Sam  Hunter  '44 

This  afternoon  Willlamstown's  civilian 
air  raid  defense  —  with  its  accompanying 
luiraphcrnalia  of  watchful  air  raid  wardens, 
screaming  fire  alarms,  clanging  chapel 
hells,  and  perhaps  even  an  honest-to- 
noodness  incendiary  bomb  —  may  be  put 
1(1  the  acid  test  under  the  onslaught  of  a 
mock  "cnem>"  luflwaffe,  as  the  theatre  of 
the  New  England  war  games  shifts  to  the 
Northern  Berkshires. 

The  local  bombing  raids  are  part  of  a 
general  test  over  an  area  covering  10  north- 
eastern states  to  determine  the  efficiency 
of  coastal  and  interior  air  raid  precautions 
under  direct  attack.  A  second  test  for 
Western  Massachusetts  is  scheduled  for 
Tuesday.  Whether  planes  will  actually 
appear  over  the  Berkshire  sector  this 
afternoon  or  delay  their  attack  until  Tues 
day  is  a  military  secret.  In  the  event  of 
their  failure  to  appear  today,  warnings 
will  be  given  as  though  they  had,  and 
civilian  defense  forces  will  go  into  oper- 
ation anyway. 

Mears  Heads  Defense 

Local  defense  units  are  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Professor  Brainerd  Mears,  town 
moderator  and  chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Public  Safety.  At  a  final  meeting  of 
the  committee  last  night  the  details  of 
precautionary  arrangements  were  worked 
out  with  the  local  fire  and  police  depart- 
ments, the  electric  light,  gas,  telephone, 
telegraph,  and  water  companies,  and  the 
town  red  cross  unit.  Cooperation  with 
the  college  was  enlisted  through  Acting 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall,  and  the 
Williams  Committee  on  Cooperation  with 
the  National  Defense,  of  which  he  is 
chairman.  The  committee  has  ap|)ointed 
thirteen  students,  faculty  members  and 
deputies  as  tire  wardens  to  watch  for  fires 
started  by  incendiary  boinbs  on  or  near

Colored  Slides  Feature 
Efforts  of  Arts  Dept. 

Pierson     Spends    Summer 
Preparing      500      Copies 

Williams'  Fine  Arts  Department,  hav- 
ing taken  full  advantage  of  the  perfection 
of  color  photography  four  years  ago,  today 
has  perhaps  the  finest  collection  of  colored 
slides  in  the  country.  The  Williams  Col- 
lection of  over  eight  hundred  slides,  ac- 
cumulated by  Instructors  Whitney  S. 
Stoddard  and  William  H.  Pierson,  is 
probably  the  only  one  of  its  kind  made  at 
first  hand  from  the  original  subjects  — 
some  of  the  world's  finest  painting,  sculp- 
ture, and  architecture. 

The  largest  addition  to  the  collection 
was  made  this  summer  by  Mr.  Pierson 
who  prepared  five  hundred  slides  from 
photographs  taken  at  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art,  the  Boston  Museum  of 
Fine  Arts,  the  Gardiner  Collection  in 
Boston,  and  the  Fogg  Museum  at  Cam- 
bridge. Mr.  Pierson,  who  began  experi- 
menting with  color  photography  for  class- 
room slides  two  and  one-half  years  ago  at 
New  York  University,  covers  the  history 
of  art  from  ancient  Egypt  to  modern  times 
in  slides  now  being  shown  on  the  screen 
to  Williams  Fine  Arts  classes. 

Mr.  Pierson  found  the  museums  very 
cooperative  and  greatly  interested  in  his 
work.  Once  during  the  summer  the  other- 
wise routine  nature  of  his  work  was  marked 
by  an  incident  involving  the  toppling  over 
of  a  1300,000  painting  and  its  rescue  by 
a  museum  superintendent. 

The  slides,  which  show  the  finest  brush 
work  and  aged  cracks,  have  so  aroused 
the  enthusiasm  of  the  Fine  Arts  Depart- 
ment that  plans  are  being  made  for  similar 
work  next  spring  and  summer  in  the 
galleries  of  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  Cleve- 
land, Pittsburgh,  and  Chicago.

How  Will  Your  Fraternity  Prepare 
Freshmen  For  House  Membership? 

Phi  Gamma   Delta,  Sigma  Phi   Have  Already 
Started   Their  Freshman  Programs 

Below,  in  adjoining  columns.  The  IlECOttD  presents  examples  of 
two  methods  of  preparing  Williams  freshmen  for  fraternity  membership. 
At  the  left  is  Hell  Week,  the  only  preparation  for  fraternity  life  many 
freshmen  got  last  year;  at  the  right  are  freshman  program.s  conducted 
by  Phi  Gamma  Delta  and  Sigma  Phi.  The  column  on  Hell  Week  des- 
cribes what  went  on  in  many  fraternity  houses  last  February;  it  does  not 
attempt  to  criticize  Williams  fraternities  destructively.  The  Recoud  is 
reporting  the  experiences  of  Phi  Gamma  Delta  and  Sigma  Phi  because 
those  fraternities  have  adopted  freshman  orientation  plans  which  may 
be  of  interest  to  other  houses  now  faced  with  Hell  Week  problems. 

Freshman   Preparation 
1941  Style! 


Hell  Week  last  year  at  Williams  was  a 
fast-moving,  exhausting  paradox  of  good 
times  and  meaningless  "wet"  acts.  There 
were  the  hours  when  the  fraternities  in- 
structed their  pledges  to  do  manual  labor 
of  a  constructive  kind  —  storing  wood  in 
house  cellars,  washing  windows,  cleaning 
up  alumni  dorms.  And  there  were  other 
hours  when  some  fraternities  made  their 
pledges  drink  over  twenty  glasses  of  water 
at  a  single  meal,  walk  guard  with  a  wooden 
gun  in  front  of  the  gym,  and  stand  before 
a  roaring  fire  in  a  closed  room  with  theii 
winter  sweaters  and  trench  coats  on. 
Questions  Without  Answers 

If  the  Hell  Week  system  of  1941  under- 
goes no  change  this  year,  the  men  of  1945 
may  again  be  threatened  with  "black

Freshman    Preparation 
1942  Style? 


In  preparing  their  freshmen  for  frater- 
nity membership.  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
and  Sigma  Phi  have  taken  the  emphasis 
off  Hell  Week,  and  have  put  it  on  a  fresh- 
man program  which  begins  in  September 
and  culminates  in  the  activities  of  the 
week  before  initiation.  Both  these 
fraternities,  which  have  not  recently  been 
known  for  particularly  heavy  Hell  Week 
schedules,  will  probably  retain  some  of 
the  constructive  aspects  of  the  tradi- 
tional Hell  Week  this  year. 

Hell  Week  Inadequate 

Convinced  that  Hell  Week  as  the  cam- 
pus saw  it  in  1941  is  far  from  adequate 
preparation  for  responsible  fraternity 
membership,  the  Sigma  Phi  house  started 
a  bi-monthly  program  for  its  freshmen

Williamstown  Gasoline  Sales  Fall  Rapidly 
As  Result  of  Student  Driving  Regulations 

by  Henry  H.  HtniTEB  '44 

The  Undergraduate  Council's  restrictions  on  student  driving  has  definitely 
solved  the  problem  of  a  gasoline  shortage  in  Williamstown,  a  Record  ix>11  of  local 
gas  merchants  revealed  yesterday.  The  garage  managers  declared  that,  in  spite  of 
a  drop  in  their  gas  sales,  they  appreciated  the  value  of  such  a  program  to  the  Na- 
tional Defense  effort. 

State  approval  of  the  U.  C.'s  driving^ 


legislation  came  last  Tuesday  when  David 
H.  Howie,  Massachusetts  Director  of 
Gasoline  Conservation,  wrote  to  Acting 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall:  "I  appre- 
ciate very  much  the  spirit  of  cooperation 
which  has  prompted  your  sutdent  body  to 
take  these  measures  to  conserve  gasoline. 
They  form  a  tangible  contribution  to  Nat- 
ional Defense  of  which  the  student  body 
may  well  have  reason  to  be  proud." 

Surplus  Sean 
Prior  to  the  enactment  of  the  Under- 
graduate Council's  edict  on  Williamstown 
driving,  the  local  merchants  were  bemoan- 
ing the  fact  that  they  could  not  possibly 
cope  with  the  student  demand.  Where 
the  proprietor  of  one  station  was  com- 
pelled to  rely  on  an  individual  surplus  of 
4,000  gallons  to  answer  the  September 
demand,  the  gasoline  dispensers  are  now 


prognosticating  a  slight  surplus  in  October. 

The  spectacular  success  of  the  restriction 
on  local  driving  is,  of  course,  partially  the 
result  of  the  most  recent  Ickesian  "bull" 
permitting  stations  95%  of  their  last 
October  sales,  a  definite  increase  over  the 
previous  Federal  law  allotting  them  only 
85%  of  their  sales  last  July. 

Spring  Street  Hit 

The  two  stations  that  were  able  to  offer 
concrete  evidence  concerning  the  efficacy 
of  the  U.  C.  action  were  Ed  Winn's  Garage 
and  Gordon  Bullett's  Gulf  station,  both  on 
Spring  Street.  George  W.  Grundy,  who 
enjoys  a  "big  town  trade  and  outside 
trade,"  declared  that  the  law  cannot  "help 
but  affect  you  some,"  but  as  to  the  extent 
of  the  effect  "it  is  difficult  to  say."  Ba- 
con's Garage  blandly  dismissed  the  ques- 
tion with,  "It  don't  affect  us.  We

Scream  St.  's,  D.  Phi'i 


With  as  nmch  suavity  as  a  Hitlerian 
Gestapo  tn.Mip.  .Saint  A.'s  and  Delta 
Phi's  roamed  every  corner  of  Spring 
Street  Thursday  nisfht,  cornering  fresh- 
men, upperclassmeii  et  al.  in  an  effort  to 
brinK  undying  fame  and  ghny  to  the 
Immortal  Portals.  Main  object  of  the 
roun<l-up  was  lo  get  all  and  sundry  to 
cast  a  vote  for  the  respective  fraternities 
in    the   weekly    WMS   singing   contest. 

Operating  their  fascistic  plebiscite  from 
Louie  Bleau's  Gym  Lunch,  the  Saints  got 
forty  votes  in  half  of  forty  minutes. 
Delia  Phi  sat  in  state  in  the  College

and  the  other  on  a  coke.  Their  repast

all  their  troubles  got  them  (;nly  twenty 
ballots.  Saint  A.,  however,  blocked  the 
works  somewhat  with  a  well-laid  scheme 
which  had  one  member  of  the  lodge  talk- 
ing innocently  to  a  friend  in  the  Delta

Football  Incident 
Officially  Closed 

Newhall,  Colman,  Wood 
Do  Not  Find  Bad  Faith 
in    Hearne-Mucha    Case 


The  "Mucha-Hearne  incident"  was 
officially  closed  yesterday  by  agreement  of 
euiifficLing  parties  in  tiiu  ofiiee  uf  Acting 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall.  In  state- 
ments to  TiiK  Rkcord,  Mr.  Newhall, 
Richard  W.  Colman,  line  coach  of  varsity 
football,  and  Thomas  J.  Wood,  director 
of  admissions,  clarify  the  situation  created 
on  the  campus  this  week  by  the  publication 
of  a  letter  from  Mr.  Newhall  in  last  Mon- 
day's Rbcohd. 

The  incident,  growing  out  of  the  no-cuts 
condition  of  Alonzo  ('■.  Hearne,  Jr.  '42  and 
Joseph  R.  Mucha  '4.?  which  threatened  to 
deprive  the  varsity  football  team  of  an  end 
in  the  Princeton  game,  became  especially 
tense  on  the  campus  after  Mr.  Newhall's 
letter,  in  which  undergraduates  and 
members  of  the  coaching  staff  were  charged 
with  "bad  faith"  in  getting  Mucha  re- 
leased from  classes  on  Saturday. 

Too  Many  Cooks 

All  three  .statements  to  Till';  Record, 
which  follow,  declare  that  actually  there 
was  no  bad  faith  involved  in  the  cir- 
cumstances which  permitted  both  Hearne 
and  Mucha  to  play  at  Princeton  Saturday: 

Thomas  J.  Wood:  It  is  highly  de- 
sirable that  certain  additional  facts  be 
made  known  regarding  the  recent  football 
incident.  The  unfortunate  misunder- 
standing occurred  through  the  activities 
of  too  many  persons  working  indepen- 
dently on  the  behalf  of  the  football  team. 
There  was  no  intent  of  deception.  Last 
Wednesday  when  it  appeared  that  there 
was  no  way  that  Hearne  could  leave 
Williamstown  in  time  for  the  game,  some 
of  us  turned  our  attention  to  Mucha's 
case.  It  subsequently  developed  that 
Mucha  was  freed  from  both  his  Saturday 
classes  but  no  one  person  knew  that  this 
was  the  case  uutil  he  had  left  Williams- 
town. When  the  coaches  departed  on 
Thursday  it  was  their  belief  that  Mucha 
was  to  rerhain  here,  and  I  had  no  idea  that 
Mucha  was  freed  from  both  classes  before 
I  was  informed  late  Friday  afternoon  that 
he  had  gone  to  Princeton.  Accordingly, 
no  one  was  in  a  position  to  advise  Mr. 
Newhall  before  he  made  his  decision  to 
excuse  Hearne  that  Hearne's  presence  in 
Princeton  was  not  essential.  On  the 
basis  of  the  facts  available  when  The 
Record  went  to  press  on  Sunday  the 
conclusion  of  bad  faith  was  entirely  justi- 
fied. The  publication  of  these  additional 
facts  will,  1  hope,  make  it  clear  that  it  was 
a  matter  rather  of  an  excess  of  enthusiasm 
and  of  a  failure  to  check  the  results  of  our 
individual  actions.

Eleven  Encounters 
Battered  Huskies 
Tomorrow  at  2:00 

Visitor's  Line,  Punctured 
by  Injuries,  May  Be 
Sieve     For     Eph      Backs 


Coach  Charlie  Caldwell's  football  team 
will  be  seeking  its  second  win  of  the  current 
season  tomorrow  at  2:00  p.  m.  when,  for 
the  first  time  in  history,  Williams  meets 
Northeastern  on  Weston  Field. 

In  his  practice  sessions  this  week.  Coach 
Caldwell  worked  with  his  ends  and  tackles 
smoothing  up  some  of  the  assinnmeiUs 
missed  in  the  PriiKeton  game.  On  Wed- 
nesday, he  scrimmaged  the  (irst  anil  second 
elevens  against  the  third  team  in  pre- 
paration for  tomorrow.  Gunnar  Hayes, 
Don  Tewksbury,  and  Carey  Wells  all 
carried  the  ball  well. 

Unless  there  are  major  changes  before 
game  time,  Caldwell  will  prubabK  start 
the  same  team  which  answered  the  whistle 
at  Princeton.  Al  He.irne  and  Hol>  Wal- 
lace will  be  at  the  ends,  Hu  Oswald  and  Ed 
Callahan  at  the  tackles,  Ralph  Renzi  and 
John  Irttin  at  the  guards  and  Bill  Ccurter 
at  center.  In  the  liacklield  will  be  Herb 
Holdeii,  C>  Morgan,  Marsh  Hannock  and 
either  Hayes  or  Tewksbury.  Kiillowing 
the  ijractice  of  having  one  ol  llie  eight 
seniors  cm  the  squad  captain  the  team  ill 
each  of  the  eight  contests,  Callahan  will 
lead  Williams  against  Northeastern. 
Huskies  Injury-Ridden 

Earlier  in  the  season,  the  Huskies  were 
regarded  as  a  distinct  threat  to  a  Williams 
victory  in  this  game.  But  a  flock  of 
injuries  in  the  first  two  games  has  taken 
five  of  Coach  Jimmy  Dunn's  varsity  line 
and  three  men  from  the  backlield  acciMilIng 
to  the  Boston  ller'ild.  With  .'North- 
eastern so  weakened,  Williams  is  looked 
upon  as  the  favorite  .Saturday,  for  the 
Purple  came  through  the  Princeton  game 
with  its  entire  personni-1  intact.  AW  this 
week,  Dunn  has  been  working  with  his 
second-stringers  te.  prepare  them  to  start 
against  Williams.If  Williams  gets  its  down- 
field  blocking  going  tomorrow  as  it  was 
against  Middlebury,  Dunn's  second  string- 
ers may  have  a  time  stopping  Hayes, 
Holden,  Hannock  and  Co. 

Northeastern  has  employed  a  "looping" 
defense  in  its  first  two  games.  Such  a 
defense  calls  for  each  lineman  tc  ein'er  a 
certain  zone  after  breaking  through  the 
line.  The  main  principle  Is  to  work  to  the 
outside  of  the  blnck.T  to  get  into  the  zcne. 
Visitors  Weak  in  Air 

Whether  the  Huskies  will  cniplov  this 
defense  tomorrow  isanother  story.  Maine 
passed  Northeastern  dizzy  In  the  final 
quarter  at  Orimo  because  the  backers-up 
moved  in  to  fill  the  holes  left  by  the  guards 
fighting  to  get  to  the  outside  of  their 
blockers.  Williams  has  already  displayed 
a  potent  passing  attack,  for  at  Princeton 
the  team  completed  twelve  of  twenty- 
eight  (Kisses  for  a  total  of  186  yards. 

Northeastern  is  definitel\,'  not  a  passing

Free  French  Backers 
Organize  Local  Group 

Five  professors  met  this  week  as  an 
organizing  committee  to  coiisliler  the 
founding  of  a  local  chapter  of  France 
Forever.  Professor  Cru,  Grant,  Grimm, 
Newhall  and  Schuman  composed  the  group 
which  discussed  organization  details. 

France  Forever  is  the  name  adopted  by 
the  American  division  of  a  world-wide 
organization  made  up  of  French  citiz.'ns 
and  friends  of  French  democracx-.  Its 
aim  is  "to  provide  financial  aid.  but  above 
all  moral  support,  for  the  Free  French 
forces  who  carry  on  the  fight  against 
Germany  on  land,  on  sea  and  in  the  air," 
according  to  Professor  Cru.  The  local 
chapter's  campaign  for  members  is  due 
to  start  soon.

Another  Story  on  Page  One 

Last  is.siie  a  .story  on  iiage  oiii'  prcsi'iiled  Iho  critici.sni.s  which  Williaiii.s 
fraleniities  have  with.slood  siiici'  I8I$3.  Aiiolhor  .story  appi'ur.s  on  page 
one  today  —  a  .story  which  (U>.scn))es  Hell  Week  and  all  it.s  .shortcomings. 
Hilt  this  story  does  more  than  criticize.  It  makes  a  constructive  propo.sal, 
based  on  the  experiences  of  Sigma  Phi  and  Phi  (laimiia  Delta,  that  Wil- 
liams fraternities  adopt  an  initiation  program  consciou.sly  designed  to 
prepare  freshnieii  for  fraternity  membership. 

Williams  fraternity  men  have  always  felt  that  it  is  a  privilege  to  lie 
a  fraternity  man.  They  have  always  felt  that  freshmen  .should  realize 
initiation  night  means  much  more  than  a  long-awaited  jaunt  to  the  goat 
room.  .Villi  heeau.se  they  have  always  felt  this  way,  Williams  fraternity 
men  have  long  supported  Hell  Week. 

But  it  is  iinp().ssil)le  to  believe  that  the  present  "wet"  acts  of  Hell 
Week  —  threats  of  braiuliiig,  twenty-mile  hikes  on  wintry  nights,  parad- 
ing with  guns  before  the  gym  —  have  ever  convinced  a  single  freshman 
that  he  was  about  to  .share  in  a  great  jjrivilege.  It  is  impo.ssible  to  believe 
that  drinking  twenty  gla.s.ses  of  water  at  a  .single  meal  or  being  threatened 
with  •■i)lack  marks"  ha.s  ever  ))rei)ai-ed  a  single  freshman  for  the  j)roper 
exercise  of  that  privilege. 

No  fraternity  man  feels  that  .some  of  the  really  funny,  or  really  seri- 
ous, stmils  of  Hell  Week  should  be  aboli.shed.  But  many  hou.se  members 
Ho  feel  that  a  eon.structive  fveshnian  program,  beginning  in  Sei)tember 
and  culminating  in  Hell  Week,  will  i)repare  the  pledges  for  the  privilege 
they  are  soon  to  share.  Many  feel  that  the  "wet",  meaningless  acts  of 
Hell  Week  —  which  proihice  nothing  but  fear  and  humiliation  —  should 
be  abolisiied,  leaving  room  for  the  freshman  programs  and  the  sensible 
good  times  of  liie  week  before  initiation. 


The  Hearne-Mucha  Incident 

Apropos  of  the  "Ilearne-Miicha  incident"  Tin:  Recohh  .said  in  its 
la.st  i.s.sue:  "Last  week  the  men  who  argued  honestly  with  the  i)ro|)er 
authority  for  the  relea.se  of  one  man  on  no-cuts,  at  the  same  time  worked 
inidergromul  and  illegally  to  effect  the  release  of  the  other.  And  when  the 
proper  authority  had  generoii.sly  given  the  team  its  much-needed  player, 
he  fonn<l  that  the  .second  player  had  been  relea.sed  illegally  from  his 
no-cut  o!)ligations  —  liehind  Mr.  Newhall's  back."  Today  Tub  Rkcoho 
admits  that  there  is  no  element  of  truth  in  the.se  observations,  and  jjoints 
to  the  letters  from  Messrs.  Newhall,  Colman,  and  Wood  in  this  issue  for 
an  ex|)laiiatioii  of  the  position  taken  by  Mr.  Newhall  in  his  leller  published 
last  Monday  on  which  TllK  Rkccjkd  ba.sed  its  editorial. 

Till';  Rkcohd  does  not  consider  the  Williams  coaching  .staff  respoiusible 
for  the  (levelopment  of  an  "incident"  by  putting  Mucha  into  Saturday's 
game.  It  would  have  been  pretty  silly  football  to  keep  Mucha  out  of  the 
game  —  e.siiecially  .since  his  presence  in  Princeton  constituted  no  breach 
of  faith,  and  since  his  presence  came  as  a  result  of  the  kind  of  chances 
the  present   state  of  Williams  discipline  permits. 

The  responsibility  for  the  incident  lies  with  a  .sy.stein  which  put  .so 
many  cooks  in  the  broth,  witiiout  letting  any  of  the  cooks  —  the  coaching 
staff,  the  players,  the  teachers,  the  college  administration  —  know  what 
was  happening.  The  Ironhle  lies  not  .so  much  with  any  one  man  or  group 
of  men,  but  with  the  confu.sed  .state  of  Williams  discipline  —  a  subject 
which,  by  the  way,  will  be  di.scus.scd  at  a  Williams  Round  Table  in  Griffin 
Hall  on  October  30. 


.Simif  lioUBfs  niiido  their  frestimeii  eat  at 
a  single  table  with  their  right  hands  tied  to 
a  pole.  At  that  moal  a  telephone  call  is 
usually  planted,  and  one  freshman  is  told 
to  answer  the  telephone  without  untying 
his  hand. 

Other  good  things  about  Hell  Week  are 
the  conferenceB  some  fraternities  sponsor 
between  seniors  ami  freshmen  -  confer- 
ences at  which  the  seniors  explain  to  each 
individual  pledge  what  things  he  can  do  to 
help  the  hous;'  and  what  acts  he  has  been 
doing  since  September  which  injure  his 
personal  popularity  and  the  reputation  of 
the  fraternity.  Another  example  of  the 
wiiy  in  which  houses  |)Ut  the  fraternity 
spirit  to  good  use  stems  from  the  practice 
of  asking  alumni  to  explain  to  the  pledges 
about  the  purposesand  the  problems  of  the 
house,  and  to  urge  the  incoming  members 
to  keep  up  the  fraternity's  tra<litions  of 
good  fellowship,  scpiai-e  dealing,  and  de- 
votion to  the  college. 

Some  fraternities  last  year  woke  their 
freshmen  up  in  the  middle  of  the  night, 
transported  them  blindfolded  to  some 
distant  country  spot,  and  instructed  them 
to  walk  home.  Often  these  were  the  same 
houses  which  insisted  that  tlieir  pledges 
should  not  cuta  single  classduringtheweek. 
Quiz  marks  consetpiently  went  down  for 
most  pledges;  the  infirmary  population 
was  slightly  increased. 

Some  houses  made  their  pledges  read  a 
good  history  of  the  fraternity,  and  told 
them  to  memorize  its  cha|)ters  and  history. 
.Some  fraternities  forced  their  men  to 
memorize  twcK-e  songs  in  one  week;  others 
had  been  teaching  their  freshmen  fra- 
ternits-  songs  since  October.  Several 
fraternities  censured  their  pledges  who 
were  getting  low  grades  for  "letting  the 
college  down,"  while  at  the  same  time 
sai-castically  telling  their  pledges  with 
good  grades  that  they  were  grinds,  tmres. 
and  no  good  for  anybody. 

\Vhetherb>"wet  "acts  or  by  sensible  good 
times,  most  fraternities  used  the  Hell  Week 
of  l')41  for  the  same  purpose.  They  tried 
to  make  their  pledges  reali?,e  that  it  was  a 
privilege  to  join  a  fraternity  -  a  privilege 
for  which  the  freshmen  had  to  make 
sacrifices  (luring  Hell  Week.  Just  how 
much  of  a  privilege  each  freshnian  re- 
garded fraternity  membership  depended 
on  the  type  of  Hell  Week  he  had  been 
through.  Some  men  were  thrilled  and  ha<l 
never  been  happier  when  initiation  night 
rolled  around;  others  were  seriously  con- 
sidering breaking  their  pledges  liefore  it 
was  too  late. 


171  To  Go 

The  expression,  "171  To  (Jo",  which  appears  in  a  box  on  the  fir.st 
page  of  this  i.ssue,  refers  to  the  number  of  students  necessary  to  put  the 
new  Group  .\ccidcnt  Policy  for  Williams  into  effect.  For  .several 
weeks  imdergrathiatcs  have  been  hearing  of  the  i)laii  for  Grtmp  Insurance, 
and  during  the  next  few  weeks,  we  have  no  fear,  at  least  171  of  them  will 
join  many  other  Williams  men  in  participating  in  an  extremely  .sensible 
plan. 

The  plan  is  both  fair  and  rea.sonable.  In  brief,  it  is  a  Group  Accident 
Policy  for  the  undergraduates  of  Williams  College.  The  plan  guarantees 
to  reimburse  parents  for  any  medical  expeu.scs  which  may  arise  from  an 
accident  in  which  the  .student  is  injured  during  the  college  year,  including 
X-ray.s,  ho.spital  bills,  nurses',  phy.sicians',  and  .surgeons'  fees,  laboratory 
co.sts,  medicine,  and,  in  short,  any  medical  costs  incurred  as  a  result  of  an 
accident.     Ileimhnr.seinent  is  made  up  to  $500  for  each  accident. 

The  plan  i.s  broad  in  its  scope.  It  covers  all  accidents,  including 
.sports,  whether  su.stained  in  college,  at  home,  or  while  driving  between 
college  and  home  or  vvherever  the  .student  may  be.  Every  accident  is 
included.     The  co.st  is  ten  dollars  |)er  year. 

Group  Accident  Insurance  is  an  excellent  investment  for  the  students 
of  Williams  College,  where  the  health  fee  covers  only  minor  accidents  and 
sicknesses.  .V  survey  taken  a  year  ago  at  Williams  discovered  that  a  large 
majority  of  major  accidents  here  each  year  run  into  the  hundreds  of  dollars. 
The.sc  hundreds  of  dollars  the  college  did  not  pay,  but  ten  dollars  invested 
in  the  Group  Accident  Policy  would  have  paid  them.

marks",  may  again  be  forced  tt)  make 
lieautifully  riesigned  paddles,  and  may 
even  he  krfrt  up  all  night  before  initiation 
to  answer  hundreds  of  (piestions  —  some 
of  which  have  no  answers. 

Freshmen  this  year  may  find  themselves 
working  for  "masters",  whom  at  the  end 
of  Hell  Week  they  may  respect  and  admire, 
or  —  as  was  sometimes  the  case  in  1941  — 
whom  some  juf  the  men  of  1945  may  h.itc 


and  detest  to  the  end  of  their  lives.  Fresh- 
men this  year  may  be  forced  to  wear  ridi- 
culous costumes  in  their  houses,  may  be 
compelled  to  eat  their  meals  standing  up, 
or  may  be  threatened  so  realistically  with 
branding  or  other  tortures  that  they  will 
faint  —  just  as  some  of  the  present  soph- 
omores did  last  year. 

All  these  facts  are  true.  But  it  is  just 
as  true  that  some  of  the  acts  of  last  year's 
Hell  Week  contributed  to  the  happiness 
of  everyone  concerned. 


SIG,  PHI  GAM 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
last  week  at  a  meeting  addressed  by  Wil- 
liam G.  Perry,  new  a.ssislanl  to  Oean  Half- 
dan  Gregersen.  At  the  meeting,  Mr. 
Perry  told  the  .Sig  194,')  delegation  about 
specilic  methods  of  study,  a  lielcl  in  which 
he  is  a  specialist. 

Sponsoring  a  freshman  program  similar 
to  Sigma  Phi's,  Phi  Gamma  Delta  holds 
weekly  freshmen  meetings  during  the 
first  seniesler  at  which  the  members  of 
194,S  will  practice  fraternity  and  college 
simgs,  learn  alxiut  the  histery  of  their 
fraternity,  become  actjuainted  with  its 
linancial  and  educational  problems,  and 
will  hear  undergraduates  and  alumni  dis- 
cu.ss  college,  fraternity,  and  national 
topics.  Every  two  weeks  a  memljer  of 
the  facult\-  talks  with  the  Phi  Gam  fresh- 
men, discussing  the  field  in  which  he 
teaches,  'this  offers  the  Phi  Gam  pledges 
an  oppcrtunity  to  meet  the  faculty,  think 
out  interesting  problems  with  them,  and 
makes  the  freshmen  aware  of  the  college's 
educational  opportunities. 

In  general,  the  two  fraternities  operate 
their  freshman  programs  with  a  three- 
fold purpose;  (I)  to  help  the  freshmen 
scholastically;  (2)  to  interest  them  in  Wil- 
liams and  help  them  get  the  most  out  of 
college  life;  and  (3)  to  integrate  thein  into 
the  house  and  college. 

'the  success  of  the  Sigma  Phi's  freshman 
delegation  meeting  with  Mr.  Perry  signifies 
that  the  freshman  program  idea  has  strong 
potentialities.  After  talking  for  about  half 
an  hour,  Mr.  Perry  answered  questions 
which  any  of  the  freshinen  had  about  de- 
finite study  problems  they  had  met  during 
their  initial  college  weeks.  All  but  a  few 
of  the  freshmen  had  specific  tiuestions  and 
problems  to  iron  out  with  the  assistant 
dean.  This  was  convincing  evidence  both 
to  Mr.  Perry  and  the  Sig  upperclassinen, 
who  are  as  wary  of  something  new  as  most 
Williams  men,  that  the  freshinan  program 
was  already  fulfilling  a  definite  need  in  the 
Sigma  Phi  house. 

Mr.  Perry's  talk  was  the  first  in  a  series 
which  the  Sig  pledges  will  hear  and  parti- 
cipate in  before  they  are  initiated.  The 
talks  will  be  scheduled  to  occur  twice  each 
month,  and  will  cover  a  field  of  subjects 
designed,  like  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta  meet- 
ings, to  help  the  freshmen  get  the  most  out 
of  their  Williams  education  and  out  of 
their  membership  in  a  Williams  fraternity.

'Nazis  See  Victory 
In  S.A/-- Franklin 

Plan  of  Henry  Wallace 
Could  Dissolve  Threat, 
Ist       Lecturer       Asserts 


"The  Germans  think  ihiil  whether  they 
win  or  lose  the  war  in  Europe,  they  have 
already  won  South  America,"  Professor 
Albert  B.  Franlclin  told  a  disappointing 
Jesup  Mall  audience  Tuesday  night  in  the 
openiiij;  lecture  on  the  1941-'42  Lecture 
Committee  calendar. 

Only  iiicreasin(;ly  effective  American 
counteraction  along  the  lines  proposed  by 
\'ice-Presiilent  Henry  Wallace,  Mr.  Krank- 
lin  demonstrated  in  a  piercing  analysis  of 
"Nazi  Penetration  in  South  America  — 
The  E.\aniple  cf  Ecuador",  can  halt  the 
Nazi  drive  to  bind  South  America  eco- 
nomically and  politically  to  European 
Fascism. 

Describes  German  Organization 

The  Williams  faculty-member,  on  leave 
last  year  to  study  the  social  backgrounds 
(if  contemporarx-  S(iUth  American  litera- 
ture, outlined  for  an  audience  which  in- 
cluded fewer  than  fifty  undergraduates 
the  course  of  Nazi  activities  in  ICcuador 
since  their  incept  ion  in  1936. 

Into  Ecuador  the  Nazi  vanguard  began 
to  pour  in  1936,  IVIr.  Franklin  revealed. 
Thousands  of  "nice  yimng  men"  were  sent 
into  the  country  by  legal  and  illegal  means 
to  set  up  the  nation  for  Der  Tan.  Four 
branches  of  the  German  organization  were 
established  to  coordinate  the  penetration 
effort. 

These  were,  Mr.  Franklin  explained,  the 
Kibbentrop  section,  the  Goebbels  section, 
the  llinintler-(Jesta])o  department,  and 
the  Goering-men  —  technicians,  airhne 
pilots,  etc.  Diplomacy,  propaganda,  Ges- 
tapo tactics,  and  Goering  were  alike  suc- 
cessful, said  Mr.  [•'ranklin,  until  Britain 
and  America   began   to   put    up  a    battle. 

Nazis  not  Through 

British-American  power  has  had  its 
{■ffect,  he  stated,  but  "what  we  are  seeing 
now  is  net  the  end  of  Nazi  activities  in 
.South  America."  The  next  step,  he  be- 
lieves, will  be  an  attempt  to  work  through 
the     Falange,     Franco's     Fascist      party. 

Unless  American  methods  of  countering 
the  German  threat  change  radically,  Pro- 
fessor f'ranklin  affirmed,  the  Nazis  won't 
be  ousted  and  defeated  in  Latin  America. 
The  economic  planning  espoused  by  men 
like  Henr\  Wallace  is  the  most  e(Tecti\'e 
strategy.  "Such  countries  as  Ecuador," 
he  concluded,  "are  just  waiting  to  declare 
for  us  if  the  Wallace  plans  go  through."

fiut  the  two  Spring  Street  petrol  caterers 
definitely  felt  the  repercussions  of  the 
decree,  Ed  Winn  declared,  "All  I  can  say 
is  that  business  ain't  what  it  used  to  be." 
He  explained  that  last  year  he  had  spe- 
cialized in  repair  work  and  had  an  average 
of  eight  to  ten  customers  each  week.  But 
since  the  driving  law  he  said  his  total 
business  had  been  two  tune-ups  before 
Princeton  weekend,  a  couple  of  grease 
jobs  and  three  student  cars  put  into 
storage.  He  reasoned,  "^'ou  can't  repair 
'em  when  they  don't  drive  'em." 

As  to  a  gas  surplus,  he  declared  he  could 
have  one  easily,  but  because  of  the  decline 
in  demand  he  had  been  forced  to  refuse 
part  of  the  governmental  allotment.  He 
concluded,  "I  won't  have  any  surplus 
because  I'm  not  stocked  up  very  heavy." 

Decrease  of  20% 

The  greatest  source  of  information  was

Mr.  Hullett,  one  of  the  first  to  advocate

of  the  law  by  the  students,  and  added 
that  the  effect  was  unmistakable.  De- 
claring that,  had  the  U.  C.  failed  to  act, 
"we  would  have  run  out  last  month,"  he 
announced,  "we  are  now  in  amuchstronger

continued,  "no  one  will  have  to  run  out

Despite  Saturday's  loss,  the  Purple, 
aided  by  another  week's  practice  to  iron 
out  some  of  the  roughness  in  its  ball 
handling,  is  conceded  a  good  chance 
against  the  Elis,  especially  in  the  light  of 
last  year's  game  in  which  an  underdog 
Williams  squad  rose  up  and  tied  the 
previously    undefeated    Yale    team,     1-1. 

No  obvious  weakness  in  any  particular 
team  position  was  unearthed  in  the  game 
against  Springfield,  although  the  con- 
ditioning of  the  team  was  in  general  in- 
ferior to  the  Gymnasts'.  Coach  Bullock 
has  therefore  been  concentrating  this  week 
on  building  up  the  stamina  of  the  squad. 

Despite  a  forehead  gash  received  in 
Thursday's  practice.  Norm  Lowell  is 
again  scheduled  to  start  in  the  Purple 
goal,  and  Captain  Joe  Cochran  and  Binnie 
Barnes  will  be  at  their  regular  fullback 
positions  in  the  Williams  defense  line. 
Carter  Hall,  Hcdley  Reynolds,  and  Larry 
Thompson,  all  starters  in  the  Spring- 
field game,  will  again  take  over  the  mid- 
field   defense   positions   against   the   Elis. 

The  Purple  forward  wall  will  line  up 
with  (ieorge  .Simson,  scorer  of  Williams' 
second  goal  last  week,  at  outside  left, 
Johnny  Gibson  who  put  across  the  first 
tally  in  the  Springfield  game,  at  inside 
left,  and  Ben  Hurd  at  center.  Kio 
Turumi,  who  assisted  on  both  of  the  first 
two  Purple  goals,  will  occupy  the  outside 
right  position,  and  sophomore  Hugh 
Masters  will  probably  start  at  inside  right. 

Football  Incident 

(Continued  from  page  t) 

Richard  W.  Colman :  With  the  great- 
er part  of  -Mr.  Newhall's  letter  to  The 
Ke('Oiii)  of  October  6,  the  coaches  and 
managers  are  in  complete  agreement.  We 
full)'  appreciate  his  point  of  view  and  are 
grateful  for  his  decision  which  permitted 
Hearne  to  drive  to  Princeton  on  Saturday 
morning  in  time  to  play  in  the  game.  We 
wish  to  take  this  opportunity,  however, 
to  assure  Dr.  Newhall  and  the  under- 
graduate body  that  no  act  of  bad  faith  was 
intended  or  executed.  On  leaving  Wil- 
liamstown  Thursday  neither  the  coaches 
nor  the  team  expected  Mucha  in  Princeton 
—  indeed  Mucha  himself  was  resigned  to 
missing  the  game.  Developments  on 
Friday,  of  which  we  were  ignorant,  allowed 
him  to  make  the  trip. 

Richard  A.  Newhall:  The  letters  to 
the  editor  from  Mr.  Wood  and  Mr.  Colman 
make  it  clear  that,  whatever  the  appear- 
ances, there  was  in  fact  no  bad  faith  in- 
volved in  the  matter  of  Mucha's  presence 
at  Princeton  last  week.  I  cannot  over- 
emphasize my  own  feeling  of  satisfaction 
and  relief  at  this,  because  I  am  convinced 
that  the  college  community  can  function 
smoothly  only  in  a  spirit  of  mutual  con- 
fidence. 


AIR  RAID 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
drons  will  be  transmitted  to  Williamstown 
via  North  Adams  from  army  headquarters 
or  from  other  key  spotting  centers  such  as 
Albany  on  the  west  and  Portland,  Maine, 
in  the  north.  At  the  final  "red"  warning 
which  will  mean  that  planes  are  in  the 
Berkshire  area,  local  defense  units  will 
spring  into  action. 

The  alarm  indicating  the  approach  of 
hostile  aircraft  will  be  four  sharp  blasts  of 
the  fire  whistle  and  the  ringing  of  the 
chapel  bells  and  the  bell  of  the  Congrega- 
tional Church.  With  the  alarm  all  roof 
watchers  and  their  deputies  will  hasten  to

Williama  Cub  Ejected 
From  Princeton  Univ. 


You'vd  heard  the  story  of  the  ficti- 
tious person  who  went  through  four 
years  of  Princeton  by  having  under- 
graduates take  examinations  for  him. 
Well,  here's  where  the  Sons  of  Old 
Nassau  did  themselves  one  better: 
They  expelled  a  person  who  never 
went  there. 

On  October  16,  Raymond  F.  Ell- 
iott, Williams  '45,  will  be  permitted 
to  resume  his  studies  at  Princeton. 

On  the  weekend  of  the  Williams 
game  with  the  Tiger,  Elliott  was 
apprehended  at  the  "Nass"  by  a 
University  Proctor,  and  charged  with 
a  breach  of  Princeton  regulations. 
When  he  attempted  to  explain  that 
he  attended  Williams,  the  man 
laughed  at  his  remonstrance  as  a 
'poor  excuse"  and  suspended  him 
from     Princeton    for    twelve    days. 


Max  Lerner  Flays  Lawrence  Dennis,  Foremost 
American  Fascist,  in  Heated  Radio  Tussle 


A  heated  exchange  of  verbal  fisticuffs 
and-out  blasphenn-  sizzled  the  air  waves 
Lawrence  Dennis  got  together  for  a  ([uie 
cratic  survival  under  current  economic 
America"  radio  forum. 

Pile  argumentative  pitch  began  to  soar 
very  early  in  the  round  table  when  Dennis, 
foremost  American  fascist  apologist,  left 
the  realm  of  economics  and  turned  to 
politics.  Mr.  Lerner  flayed  him  for  his 
failure  to  make  any  distinction  between 
the  American  "dynamic",  democratic 
brand  of  leadership,  and  the  totalitarian 
fuehrer  principle.  Mr.  Dennis  countered 
that  it  made  little  difference  because  in 
both  the  United  States  and  Germany  a 
small,  authoritarian  minority  "mani- 
pulates" majority  opinion  for  its  own 
aggrandizement. 

'Professors  Pawns'  —  Dennis 

Phen  the  fireworks  started  with  accu- 
sations and  denials  hurtling  backandtorth. 
Mr.  Dennis  declared  that  there  was  little 
to  choose  in  the  way  of  democracy  between 
the  United  States  and  Germany.  In 
America  the  controlling  minority  was  the 
propertied  class  rather  than  military  elite. 
Pointing  an  example  of  their  power,  he 
noted  that  American  college  professors 
are  pawns  in  the  hands  of  the  ruling  class. 

Mr.  Lerner  immediately  took  issue  with 
this  view.  He  expressed  the  belief  that 
in  America,  class  and  economic  conflict 
could  be  resolved  in  the  public  interest  by 
a  strong,  democratically  administered 
government.  Speaking  of  Williams  to 
which  he  referred  as  "one  of  the  crack 
colleges  in  the  country",  Professor  Lerner 
assured  Mr.  Dennis  that  he  had  never  been 
placed  under  external  pressure  nor  had  his 
teaching  influenced  from  above. 

'Lerner  Un-American'  —  Dennis 

Mr.  Dennis  shifted  his  tactics.  He 
charged  that  Lerner's  advocacy  of  positive 
presidential  leadership  and  a  planned 
economy  was  un-American.  He  dropped 
a  veiled  suggestion  that  the  Williams  poli- 
tical scientist  might  even  be  in  league  with 
the  bolsheviks.  Exasperated  by  Dennis' 
efforts  to  discredit  a  democratic,  planned 
American  economy  by  linking  it  with 
communism,  Mr.  Lerner  lashed  his  oppo- 
nent severely  for  muddling  the  issue.  "All 
afternoon,"  he  declared,  "you've  been 
trying  to  get  me  to  say  that  Russia  is  a 
democracy  —  but  I  will  not  —  You've 
been  distorting  everything  I've  said  all  the 
way  through." 

Only  the  moderator's  repeated  shouting 
of  "time's  up,  gentlemen,"  at  the  end  of 
the  hour  could  call  a  halt  to  the  heated 
controversy. 


that  included  almost  everything  but  out- 
Sunda>'  afternoon  when  Max  Lerner  and 
t  discussion  of  the  possibilities  for  demo- 
conditions    on    the    weekly    "Wake     up 


Undergraduate  efforts  are  now 
being  made  to  obtain  a  transcription 
of  the  broadcast  in  which  Mr.  Lerner 
and  Mr.  Dennis  participated  for  re- 
broadcast  in  Williamstown. 


Simpson,   Mystic 
To  Speak  Tonight 

'Aristocratic  Radicalism' 
Topic  of  2nd  Lecture 
in    Jesup    Hall    at    7:45 


Concerts  Selected 
By  Student  Choice 

1941-42  Thompson  Series 
Determined  by  Result 
Of    Undergraduate    Poll 


Ponight  at  7:45  in  Jesup  Hall,  William 
Gayley  Simpson  will  speak  on  "Aristo- 
cratic Radicalism"  in  the  second  lecture 
of  the  fall  calendar. 

Mr.  Simpson  has  been  described  as  "an 
ex-minister,  ex-pacilicist,  ex-liberal  worker 
and  ex-socialist  an<l  a  modern  mystic  and 
prophet."  'Phe  Lecture  Committee  has 
released  the  information  that  he  is  "not  a 
social  worker  —  nor  a  social  reformer  — 
a  seeker  of  truth  —  no  matter  at  what 
co.st." 

'Man  with  Message' 

Phe  publishers  of  his  lirst  book,  Toward 
the  Rising  Sun,  say  that  "for  years  this 
young  idealist  lias  been  addressing  and 
conferring  with  groups  at  various  colleges, 
and  today  his  influence  is  felt  among  the 
more  serious-minded  students  at  all  our 
Eastern  institutions."  Unlike  Lowell 
Thomas  last  year,  he  comes  to  Williams 
as  a  man  with  a  clear-cut  philosophical 
message. 

His  story  is  primarily  the  story  of  a 
prolonged  search  for  the  meaning  of  life. 
Graduated  from  Lafayette  in  1915,  he 
became  a  minister,  only  to  quit  the  Church 
in  the  last  year  of  World  War  1  on  the 
ground  that  the  Church  was  "both  a 
prostitute  and  a  Judas."  He  was  a  paci- 
fist and  tended  more  and  more  towards 
socialism  as  he  saw  the  drawbacks  of  the 
capitalistic  system. 

In  1920  he  gave  away  all  his  property 
to  devote  himself  to  the  Fransican  ideal  of 
poverty.  As  an  unfrocked  missionary  to 
the  people  he  talked  on  street-corners,  in 
parks,  in  churches,  and  to  student  groups. 
Deep  misgivings  alicmt  the  nature  of  his 
fundamental  beliefs  forced  him  to  re- 
orientate his  entire  philosophy,  and  to 
bind  himself  to  the  contemplative  life,  he 
retired  to  a  farm  in  the  Catskills,  where  he 
remained  until  he  again  went  out  to  talk 
to  youth. 

Carea  About  Life 

The  message  he  has  brought  to  audience 
after  audience  is  suminarized  in  a  state- 
ment made  a  few  years  ago;  "I  care 
about  life.  What  I  care  most  about  is 
that  I  may  find  it,  and  that  finding  it  I 
may  arouse  other  men  to  a  sense  of  the 
life  which  is  in  them  also."

AssislanV Prii/essor  of  .Music 

fhe  Phonipson  Concert  Committee 
this  Near  has  been  guided  in  its  choice  of 
artists  by  a  poll  taken  last  spring  to  deter- 
mine student  preferences  in  music.  Every 
effort  has  been  made  to  arrange  concerts 
which  would  reflect  as  nearly  as  possible 
the  opinions  expressed  in  this  poll. 

Phe  symphony  orchestra  was  found  to 
be  an  overwhelming  lirst-choice  among 
Williams  men.  As  a  result,  the  series  this 
\'ear  will  present  livo  performances  !)>•  the 
Orchestra  of  the  New  Friends  of  Music  — 
the  first  time  in  many  years  that  the  col- 
lege has  had  two  symphony  concerts  in  a 
single  sea.son. 

Piano  Second  Choice 

Piano  recitals  ranked  a  close  .second  to 
the  orchestra  and  for  this  reason  two 
different  piano  artists  are  being  offered: 
Emma  Boynet,  the  well-known  French 
pianist,  ancf  our  own  Mr.  Nin-Culmell 
whose  brilliant  performances  last  \ear 
have  already  made  him  a  favorite  with 
college  audiences.  Olin  Downes,  famous 
critic  of  the  New  York  Times,  describes 
Mile.  Boynet's  playing  as  "incomparable." 
Koussevitzky  says,  "She  plays  Mozart 
like  an  angel." 

The  concert  choir  was  voted  third  choice 
among  students  here,  and  this  type  of 
music  will  be  represented  by  the  famous 
Dessoff  Choir  of  New  York,  who  sing 
entirely  without  accompaniment.  This 
group  specializes  in  16th  century  music 
such  as  that  frequently  heard  (and  liked!) 
by  Williams  men  in  our  own  chapel. 

Two  solo  singers  will  be  presented  on 
the  series:  Olga  Avcrino,  soprano,  and 
John  Brownlee,  leading  baritone  of  the 
Metropolitan  Opera.  Mmme.  Averino's 
superb  musicianship  last  year  made  a 
return  engagement  a  certainty.  Mr. 
Brownlee  —  an  Australian  —  is  a  fine 
vocalist  with  a  genial  personality  —  a 
combination  which  makes  him  beloved 
by  all  audiences. 

One  of  the  most  successful  concerts  of 
the  past  season  was  that  of  the  Stradi- 
varius  String  Quartet,  and  for  this  reason 
the  committee  felt  that  a  return  engage- 
ment would  have  great  appeal.  They 
are  this  year  beginning  their  third  conse- 
cutive year  at  Harvard. 

The  opening  concert  of  the  season  will 
be  given  by  Samuel  Dushkin,  one  of  the 
few  really  great  violinists  of  our  gener- 
ation. He  has  just  returned  from  Mexico 
City  where  he  gave  the  first  world  per- 
formance of  Rodolfo  Halffter's  violin 
concerto,  together  with  the  symphony 
orchestra  in  that  city. 


Scoring  three  times  on  the  gtound. 
twice  through  the  air.  and  once  on  an 
intercepted  pass,  an  alert  Williams  eleven 
bulled  Northeastern  under  a  ,^8-()  score 
Saturday  afternoon  on  Weston  Field 
before  .3,000  speetatois  to  rack  up  the 
second  \ictory  of  the  year  for  Coach 
Charlie  Caldwell. 

The  first  half  was  just  about  a  picnic 
for  the  home  team,  for  the  Purple  ran  and 
passed  its  way  to  thirty-two  points.  The 
Williams  line  had  plenty  of  zip  to  open  the 
holes  for  ball  rirriers  Herb  llolilen.  Marsh 
Hannock,  Gunnar  Hayes,  Hud  Tewksbury. 
and  Bill  Schmidt,  This  same  line  also  did 
some  really  crucial  blocking  downfield 
after  the  hacks  got  free. 

Offense  Clicks  Early 
So  compU'telv  <lid  Williims  dominate 
the  play  that  only  twice  <liil  the  Huskies 
ever  get  acr^'ss  the  .SO  —  once  in  the  first 
four  minutes  on  a  Sakovitz-to-Phillips 
pass  and  once  in  the  last  minute  of  the 
game.  Otherwise,  Acting-Captain  and 
tackle  Ed  Callahan  and  the  rest  of  his  line 
held  the  Boston  teim  well  in  check. 
Williams  started  with  a  rush  in  the 
nippy  afternoon.  With  Bob  Wallace  and 
Hu  Oswald  throwing  vital  open-field  blocks, 
the  team  clicked  off  two  first  downs  in  a 
row  to  the  Northeastern  iO  only  to  lia\e  a 
Hayes-Hannock  pass  go  astray  on  fourth 
down.  But  after  an  exchange  of  kicks, 
on  which  Williams  gained  ten  yards,  the 
Purple  hammered  right  back  at  the  Husky 
goal  line  and  this  time  the  llayes-to- 
Hannock  combination  hit  pay  dirt, 
Tewksbury  Scores  Twice 
Williams  drove  lA  yards  (84  if  you  count 
two  penalties  totaling  twenty  yards)  for 
another  touchdow  n  right  after  the  start  of 
the  second  period,  .'Kfter  lour  first  downs, 
Holden  eventuallx'  scored  from  the  0. 
Not  content  with  this  exhibition,  the 
Purple  whizzed  right  back  for  three  more 
touchdowns  in  the  same  period.  One  of 
these  was  a  S4-yard  run  liy  Schmidt,  after 
he  had  apparently  been  tackled  foraten-

'Williams  Night'  Frolic 

Drafts   College  Talent 

Williams  Night,  a  replica  in  miniature 
of  the  hilarious  Nathan  Jackson  Smoker, 
will  take  to  the  Lasell  Gym  floor  this 
Saturday  night  as  a  part  of  the  Bowdoin 
dance,  an  annual  training  table  benefit. 
Planned  as  a  supplement  to  the  music  of 
the  Williams  Purple  Knights,  the  spectacle 
under  Ringmaster  Warren  G.  Hunke  '42, 
will  stage  a  combination  of  undergraduate 
tomfoolery,  skits,  individual  acts,  and 
other  mass  foolishness. 

Russ  Morgan  May  Appear 

According  to  Charles  II,  Tower  '42, 
the  dance  will  be  held  at  nine  o'clock, 
probably  on  the  main  floor  of  the  gym, 
and  may  offer  a  personal  appearance  of 
Russ  Morgan  as  an  added  attraction.  If 
the  Albany  liandleader  appears,  he  will 
probably  be  accompanied  by  his  vocalist. 

Campus  information  about  the  show 
itself  has  been  limited  to  rumors,  some  of 
which  Tower  was  able  to  confirm  on  Sunday 
evening.  Besides  Hunke  as  master  of 
cereinonies,  the  octet  will  work  over  four 
or  five  of  their  best  numbers,  and  a  fresh-

The  Fraternity  Series 

Many  undergi'atiuates  have  so  far  been  hostile  to  the  series  of  articles 
TiiK  Hkcdud  lias  been  puhli.sliiiig  on  Williams  fraternities.  Some  of 
them  .say:  "How  can  you  .sit  over  there  in  Jesup  like  God  himself  and 
preach  to  men  who  know  just  as  iniicli  if  not  more  than  you  <lo?"  Some 
denounce  TiiK  Rkcoiu)  for  "attacking"  Williams  fraternities.  Some  are 
convinced  tliat  I  lie  college  newspai)er  has  no  right  or  need  to  discuss  such 
a  "hallowed,  traditional,  private  matter  as  fraternities." 

TiiK  Hecokd's  purpo.se  in  printing  the  fraternity  series  is  not  to 
preach  or  to  attack.  Its  piirjjose  is  simply  to  present  to  the  under- 
graduate body  the  best  available  information  on  po.ssible  methods  of 
making  fraternity  life  more  responsive  to  the  educational  purpose  of  the 
college,  and  more  valuable  to  every  man  who  joins  a  fraternity. 

Last  week  Thk  Rkcoud  reported  the  profjrams  now  used  by  two 
fraternities  to  prepare  their  freshmen  for  fraternity  nieniber.ship.  The 
piirpo.se  of  that  story  was  to  suggest  that  Williams  fraternities  could  im- 
prove their  Hell  Week  by  the  addition  of  a  year-long  freshman  program. 
Today  The  Recoku  reports  the  scholar.shii)  ]irograms  of  every  Williams 
fraternity.  These  programs  represent  a  constructive  ste|)  in  the  right 
direction  —  the  direction  of  making  Williams  fraternities  indispensible 
to  college  life  because  they  are  efficiently  supi)leineiiting  Williams  in  its 
avowed  purpose  of  e  lucation.  The  Record  hojjcs  every  fraternity  will 
find  something  u.seful  in  the  facts  printed  on  this  page  today.  Next 
Thursday  an  article  will  present  the  suggestions  of  twelve  professors — 
suggestions  on  how  Williams  fraternities  can  make  their  .scholastic  pro- 
grams more  successful  and  beneficial  Ihaii  they  now  are. 

Through  the  medium  of  its  campus  newsjjaper,  will  Williams  frater- 
nity men  be  willing  to  exchange  ideas  and  programs  designed  to  strengthen 
and  improve  all  houses  here?  Will  Williams  fi-ateriiities  be  willing  to 
prove  —  by  conscientiou.sly  living  iij)  to  the  .scholastic  |)rograms  they  have 
voluntarily  createil  for  their  pledges  and  themselves  —  that  they  want  to 
help  the  college  in  the  giving  of  the  best  po.ssible  education.-' 

if  Williams  fraternities  will  be  willing  to  do  this,  their  fuiiire  at  this 
college  is  .secure.  Hut  the  traditions  or  the  privacy  or  the  .sacredness  of 
fraternities  will  never  insii'-e  their  future  existence.  Only  the  .sensible, 
cooperative  action  of  a  group  of  men  who  rightly  believe  that  Williams 
fraternifies  must  never  disintegrate  into  eating  clubs  will  guarantee  the 
future  of  the  college's  present  social  system. 


Home  Presidents  Report  Adoption  of  Plans 
Designed  to  Aid  Their  Pledges  Scholastically 

Every  Williams  fraternity  has  adopted  a  scliolastic  program  designed  to  orientate 
tlie  men  of  I'M.S  into  the  educational  system  of  the  college,  the  presidents  of  the 
fifteen  houses  revealed  last  weekend.  Many  of  the  houses  have  also  made  plans 
to  aid  upperclassmen  scholastically. 

The  reports  of  the  house  presidents  are* 


printed  helow.  They  are  publtshcd  in  the 
hope  that  each  Williams  fraternity  will 
find  useful  and  valuable  ideas  in  the  pro- 
grams of  the  other  houses.  I  low  successful 
each  fraternity  was  last  year  in  aiding  its 
members  scholastically  is  indicated  by  the 
scholar.shii)  ratings  of  the  houses,  reprinted 
today  from  Tmk  I<Kconr)'s  midsummer 
issue.     The  presidents'  reports  follow: 

.4lpha  Oelln  I'hi:  President  Oswald 
explains  that  to  late  the  A.  D  po.icy  has 
been  to  emp.iasize  scholarship  when  talk- 
ing to  the  freshman  delegation.  The  A. 
D.  president  did  not  wish  to  reveal  any  of 
his  fraternity's  futuie  plans  to  aid  the 
freshmen  and  upperclassmen  scholasti- 
cally. 

Belu  Thelu  Pi:  President  Wnkeficld 
asked  John  Hoylston  '42,  chairman  of  the 
scholarship  conniiittee,  to  submit  this 
report:  "The  scholarship  committee 
consists  of  three  men,  one  man  to  coach 


the  freshman  in  sciences,  one  man  to  coach 
them  in  languages,  and  another  in  social 
sciences.  If  the  committee  member  has 
not  taken  the  course  the  freshman  needs 
help  in,  he  is  responsible  for  appointing 
another  upperclassman  who  has  taken  the 
course  in  question. 

"The  first  step  is  to  go  to  Tom  Wood 
soon  after  rushing  and  check  to  see  which 
of  the  pledges  may  have  trouble  scholas- 
tically. The  committee  cln  then  keep 
their  eye  on  the  doubtful  freshmen  and  try 
to  see  that  the  boys  keep  up  in  their  work. 

"The  committee  is  also  responsible  for 
seeing  that  a  faculty  member  is  invited  up 
on  Wednesday  evenings  and  Sunday  for 
dinner.  In  this  way,  it  is  hoped  that  the 
freshmen  will  meet  many  of  the  faculty. 
Also,  and  similar  to  the  Phi  Gam  plan,  the 
faculty  members  are  asked  on  occasions  to 
speak  to  the  freshmen  on  college  activities, 
etc.

are  assigned  to  help  freshmen  in  courses 
they  are  having  trouble  with. 

"Before  hour  exams  and  finals,  bull 
sessions  are  organized  for  courses  that 
several  freshmen  anil  upperclassmen  are 
taking. 

"The  system,  if  it  can  be  called  that,  is 
flexible  and  any  measures  that  seem 
advisable  in  individual  cases  may  be  taken 
to  try  and  help  the  boys  who  seem  to  be  in 
trouble. " 

C:hi  Psi:  President  Holden  writes, 
"Chi  Psi's  scholastic  program  centers 
around  a  scholarship  committee  of  the 
upper  three  delegations  working  with  the 
head  of  the  house.  It  is  the  policy  of  this 
committee  to  find  out  who  is  having  diffi- 
culties and  attempt  to  aid  those  indi- 
viduals. 

"The  first  step  is  to  require  all  the 
members  to  post  their  marks  in  all  courses 
on  a  large  scholarship  chart  the  posting 
includes  grades  in  homework,  papers, 
short  quizzes,  hour  tests,  and  final  e.xams. 
With  the  information  so  received  and  with 
the  issuance  of  warnings,  the  committee 
determines  the  personnel  to  be  involved  in 
the  scholarship  program. 

"This  program  is  organized  as  follows: 
all  freshmen  and  sophomores  wdio  appear 
to  be  having  scholastic  difficulty  before 
warnings  are  invited  to  stud)'  in  upper- 
classmen's  rooms  fi\-e  and  six  night  a  week 
for  as  long  as  the  committee  deems  neces- 
sary. The  hours  from  7:30  p.  m.  to  10:.?0 
p.  m.  have  been  set  aside  as  study  hours 
(luring  which  period  there  is  to  be  no  noise 
or  confusion  of  any  kind,  .'\fter  warnings 
have  been  given  out  all  men  in  the  house 
who  ha\e  recei\ed  two  D's  or  one  E 
warnings,  or  worse,  are  re(|uired  to  attend 
a  study  hall  in  Stetson  librar\'  five  nights 
a  week. 

"This  study  hall  goes  into  elTect  shortly 
after  the  first  freshman  warnings  are  issued 
and  is  compulsory  with  cheeked  atten- 
dance. Individual  aid  is  given  by  the 
upperclassmen  to  the  freshmen  and  sopho- 
mores in  cases  where  it  is  needed... 

"In  individual  cases  where  the  effects  of 
the  library  study  hall  lie  doubtful,  the 
scholaiship  committee  reserves  the  right 
to  recpiest  the  delinquent  student  to  study 
in  the  lodge  under  the  siiperxision  of  ii 
member  of  the  committee." 

Delta  Kappa  Epsilon:  President  Mc- 
Cann  writes,  "At  our  first  house  meeting 
after  rushing,  we  ap|)ointed  thirteen  upper- 
classmen to  work  indi\'idually  with  our 
thirteen  pledges.  We  are  beginning  our 
scholastic  program  before  warnings  to  gel 
the  freshmen  off  on  the  right  foot. 

"The  uppercl.issnien  will  keep  private 
records  of  their  individual  freshman's 
marks,  will  encourage  him  to  work  hard  in 
every  way  possible,  and  will  discuss  any 
liroblems  he  may  have  with  him,  his 
professors,  or  with  Deke  upperclassmen 
who  are  majoring  in  the  courses  causing 
difficulties. 

"If  any  of  our  upperclassmen  get  into 
scholastic  difficulties,  members  of  the 
house  majoring  in  the  difficult  courses  will 
immediately  aid  them.  We  are  encourag- 
ing those  members  who  room  out  of  the 
house  to  study  in  the  house  if  there  is  too 
nmch  noise  in  the  dorms.  If  our  program 
for  freshmen  does  not  help  avoid  warnings, 
we  will  institute  a  study  hall  in  the  fra- 
ternity library  —  a  study  hall  designed 
for  work  and  not  for  bull  sessions." 

Delta  Phi:  President  Heyes  reveals  his 
house  has  a  scholarship  committee  which 
begins  to  act  two  weeks  after  pledge  night. 
Juniors  and  seniors  are  expected  to  take 
care  of  their  own  scholastic  progress,  or  to 
ask  upperclassmen  strong  in  their  own 
weak  courses  to  help  them.  The  com- 
mittee works  individually  with  the  fresh- 
men, one  upperclassman  being  assigned 
to  each  pledge. 

Study  halls  at  Stetson  Library  are  en- 
forced for  those  freshmen  receiving  warn- 
ings. Chief  purpose  of  the  Delta  Phi 
committee,  however,  is  to  consistently 
encourage  hard  work  during  the  whole 
semester,  thus  helping  the  freshmen  and 
sophomores  avoid  warnings. 

Delta  Psi:  President  Swain  asserts, 
"Early  in  the  year  our  house  scholarship 
committee  meets  with  the  freshmen  to 
plan  the  course  for  the  year.  This  year 
the  system  has  been  revised.  All  freshmen 
are  requested  to  bring  up  any  D  or  E  test 
papers  and  have  them  looked  over  and 
suggestions  aic  made  then.  At  warnings, 
any  low  men  are  required  to  attend  study 
hall  at  the  house  a  specified  number  of 
times  a  week.  This  is  supervised  by 
seniors.  We  take  no  steps,  however, 
without  tegarding  the  individual  case. 
Some  men  can't  study  in  a  supervised  hall 
where  others  can.  We  necessarily  make 
allowances  for  this." 

Delta  Upsiloni  President  Whidden 
says  that  his  fraternity  posts  a  list  of  all 
house  members,  their  courses,  and  their 
majors  early  in  October.  If  any  members, 
particularly  freshtnen,  are  having  scho- 
lastic difficulties,  they  are  instructed  by

I'aking  advantage  of  faulty  passing  and 
A  coniparalivfly  weak  Williams  fcTward 
line,  a  smooth-running  Yale  soccer  team 
handed  Ed  Hullock's  varsity  booters  a  3-0

succeeded  in  Ketlinjr  only  three  shots  at 
I  he  Blue  goal  during  the  entire  afternoon. 

Within  the  first  two  minutes  of  play, 
Carrinjjton,  Yale's  star  midfield  man,

Purple   Harriers   Nose 

Out  Middlebury,  27-28 

An  unusually  strong  Middlebury  cross- 
country team,  winning  first,  third,  and 
fifth  places,  was  virtually  assured  of  vic- 
tory on  their  home  course  Friday  when  the 
Williams  harriers  came  up  to  take  si.xth, 
seventh  and  eighth  places  and  nose  out 
the  Panthers,  27-28. 

Middlebury's  sophomore  star,  Davis, 
finished  first  ahead  of  Williams  captain 
Bob  Griggs  in  the  comparatively  slow 
time  of  24  minutes,  57  seconds,  while  two 
more  second-year  men,  Parker  and  Smith, 
took  third  and  fifth,  respectively,  with 
times  of  25  minutes,  eight  seconds,  and 
25  minutes,  42  seconds. 

Behind  Griggs  for  the  Purple  were 
Ken  Moore,  who  finished  in  25  minutes, 
29  seconds  for  fourth  place.  Brew  Chap- 
man and  Maurice  Goodbody,  tied  for 
sixth,  and  Dave  Brown,  sophomore 
addition  t(j  the  s<|uad,  who  finished  eighth.

yard  loss.  'The  next  was  a  miraculous 
alTair  which  saw  Williams  go  72  yards  in 
just  twa  plays.  Starting  from  his  own  28, 
Tewksbury  first  skirted  the  end  for  15. 
and  then  on  the  next  play  took  a  pass 
from  Schmidt  on  Northeastern 's  26  and 
raced  over  the  li[ie  after  stiff-arming  two 
tucklers. 

To  complete  this  second  period  spree, 
tackle  Coby  Wilson  interce|)ted  a  wobbly 
Northeastern  pass  on  the  Husky  20  and 
ran  across  the  goal  line.

With  this  substantial  margin  at  half 
time.  Coach  Caldwell  gave  his  reserves 
plenty  of  action  in  the  second  half  by  using 
every  player  on  the  bench.  But  Williams 
was  not  quite  satisfied  with  its  afternoon's 
work.  Once  more  the  team  dro\e  6" 
yar:ls  down  field,  ind  Tewksbury  crashed 
over  from  the  1  for  the  final  touchdown.

Ballet   to   Perform 
In  A.  M.  T.  Tuesday 

'Daily   Dartmouth'    Lauds 
Graff    Repertoire 


Opening  the  theatrical  season  at  Wil- 
lianistown  at  8:00  p.m.  tomorrow  in  the 
Adams  Memorial  'Theatre,  the  Graff 
Ballet  Troupe  will  give  college  students  a 
chance  to  see  modern  interpretive  dancing 
at  its  best.  Although  Williams  has  not 
had  any  performances  by  this  company  in 
the  past,  the  enthusiastic  recepti(]n  of  their 
program  at  Dartmouth  last  week  indi- 
cates that  they  have  an  appeal  for  college 
audiences. 

Said  the  DarlmoiUli,  "'To  a  community 
which  is  not  iji  the  usual  sense  what  is 
called  hallet-ctinscious,  the  Graff  succeeded 
in  bringing  a  type  of  thiiannc  expression 
which  made  mere  patronizing  politeness 
impossible,  which  made  either  friends  of 
enemies,  and  which  in  general  made  warm 
friends." 

Ten  Dances  Slated 

A  varied  repertoire  of  ten  different 
dances  will  be  on  the  program  Tuesday 
night,  including  "\'intage — 1912",  which 
was  called  a  "sensational  success."  This 
.satire  is  built  up  on  two  pre-war  ragtime 
classics,  "Darktovvn  .Strutter's  Ball"  and

II  a  freshman  had  trouble  with  a  parti- 
cular course,  an  upperclassmaii  would  be 
assigned  to  work  wilh  him  and  check  his 
progress  in  the  subject  which  olTered 
difficulty.  Or,  perhaps,  if  a  particular 
course  seenie<l  In  be  Iroublesonie  for 
several  members,  informal  discussions  on 
the  subject  led  b\  an  upperclassman  would 
be  helil  befori'  examinations.  Such  a 
program  was  helpful,  but  many  felt  that  it 
did  not  go  to  the  heart  of  the  problem. 
Last  year  the  program  underwent  a 
revision.  Much  of  the  old  plan  was  re- 
tained, but  a  new  |)hase  was  ailded.  Re- 
cognizing the  vast  dilTerence  between 
college  and  prep-school  work,  not  only  in 
coiUent  but  in  requireiuent  as  well,  the 
committee  made  an  elforl  to  help  the 
freshman  make  ihose  changes  in  study 
habits  and  stud\  approach  which  are 
necessary  for  successful  college  work." 
Phi  Delta  Theta:  President  Hussey 
reports,  "A  year  ago  last  March  «<■  started 
a  drive  to  raise  our  scholarship.  I'p  to 
that  time,  we  had  run  slud\  halls  for  those 
who  hail  low  grailes  or  warnings  totaling 
two  points  ()2  point-  =  1'^  '  I'"'"'  ~  f^)- 
We  found  stuily  halls  inelTicient  and  dis- 
continued I  hem.  Our  new  schl^larship 
plan  went  as  follows;  (I)  We  had  a  si.\- 
nian  scholarship  committee;  (2)  The  mem- 
bers of  this  committee  were  each  respon- 
sible for  the  grades  of  live  house  members; 
(3)  They  held  weekK  niei'lings  with  then- 
live-man  groups;  (4)  They  heljjed  indi- 
vidual cases  as  soon  as  scholastic  dit'ti- 
cullirs  arose. 

"This  plan  was  used  ihroughoul  the 
lirst  semester  of  lasl  year.  We,  however, 
continued  to  supplement  anil  improve  this 
sNsteni  by  (1  )  making  index  cartls  for  each 
house  member  so  that  the  scholarship 
committee  coulil  follow  each  man's  pro- 
gress more  closeh  ,  and  by  (2  I  erecting  a 
large  bulletin  board  rexcalini^  marks  and 
warnings. 

"This  amended  program  w.is  carried 
out  all  lasl  spring.  .At  e\cr\  possible  lime 
it  was  emphasized  that  the  housi'  scholar- 
shi|)  must  rise.  .'\mazingl\  enough,  we 
rose  from  l.Uh  to  8th  place  in  scholastic 
staniling  (to  6th  place  among  fraternities). 
"The  n;itional  polic>' of  I'hi  I  )elta  Theta 
.says  that  a  failure  to  keep  llie  chapter 
average  above  the  all-men's  average  will 
result  ver\-  likely  in  revocation  of  charter. 
This  naturally  was  a  real  incentive  to  us." 
Phi  Gamma  Delta :  Presidi'nl  Shawan 
writes,  ".-X  scholarship  mmniittee  i^ 
a|)pointed  lo  keep  dosi'  track  of  freshman 
grades  ihroughout  the  ye.n'.  This  coin- 
niittee  is  sort  of  a  clearing  house;  it  has 
each  freshman  post  his  daib  grades  anil 
bring  to  it  any  tests  or  papers  whose  grades 
seem  unjuslilied  for  analysis  li\  an  upper- 
classman who  in  strong  in  Ihal  |);irlicnlar 
subject. 

".Also  freshmen  who  show  a  continii;il 
tendency  toward  low  grades  in  an\  subject 
are  assigned  competent  upperdassmen 
tutors.  Last  year  the  liiaise  secured  a 
faculty  tutor  for  several  pledges  who  were 
low  in  the  same  subject ." 

The  niendiers  of  Phi  (iamma  |)ell;i  ,ire 
careful  not  lo  appoint  ain'one  lo  ihe 
scholarship  committee  who  is  not  sin- 
cereK-  interested  in  the  I  ask  of  helping 
freshmen.  Men  with  i^nod  grades  are 
usually  elect ed  to  the  c-omniittee. 

I'lii  Simula  Ku|i|ia!  President  Match 
reports,  "Al  our  first  meeting  after  rush- 
ing, one  senior,  one  junior,  iind  one  soiih- 
nmore  are  elected  to  llw  scholarship 
committee,  the  senior  becoming  chairman.

scholastic  improvement  of  all  house 
members,  especially  freshmen  and  sopho- 
mores. Kreshman  charts,  with  subjects 
i'.ml  instructors,  arc  made  so  that  the 
cmmnittee  can  follow  the  day-by-das- 
grade  record  of  the  pledges. 

"Before  warnings,  the  chairman  of  the 
committee  writes  the  professors  of  all 
freshmen,  asking  how  the  pledges  are 
progressing,  and  what  steps  can  be  taken 
by  the  house  to  improve  their  records. 
When  warnings  ccntie  out,  they  are  all 
posted  on  our  liulletin  board.  Then  the 
strong  meiubers  of  the  house  help  the 
weaker  to  impro\e  their  study  habits, 
their  methods  of  writing  quizzes,  and 
ultimately  to  raise  their  grades." 

I'si  llpsilciii:  President  ( iibson  states 
that  the  Psi  I',  scholarship  committee  goes 
into  action  after  warnings.  Each  fresh- 
man receives  indivi<ln al  attention  from  a 
member  of  the  committee,  .A  study  hall  is 
organized  se\-eral  timi's  a  week.  Upper- 
classmen  in  difficulties  work  out  their 
problems  with  house  members  strong  in 
the  courses  causing  trouble.  The  Psi  U. 
Iiresident  beliexes  that  the  scholarship 
committee  cannot  finiction  .satisfactorialh' 
before  warnings,  lie  said  the  scholarship 
committee  worked  .so  well  last  spring  that 
a  man  with  four  warnings  received  a  3.2 
aserage  for  the  semester. 

Si^inii  I'lii:  President  Kndolph  admits 
that,  "Waiting  until  after  warnings  to  do 


something  about  scholarship  doesn't  work. 
This  week  we  are  posting  on  the  bulletin 
board  a  list  of  all  the  courses  being  t.ikeii 
by  men  this  year,  all  men  taking  those 
courses  this  ye:u-,  and  all  men  who  have 
done  well  in  them  in  the  past.  This  chart 
will  give  all  men  in  the  house,  not  (Uih' 
freshmen,  ready  access  to  help  at  all  times, 
A  special  chart  for  freshmen  on  which  they 
have  to  record  grailes  will  serve  as  an 
indication  of  where  they  need  help.  .M- 
ready  several  freshmen  are  working  with 
upperclassmen  on  courses  in  which  they 
feel  they  are  ha\  ing  trouble.  .Mter  warn- 
ings there  will  be  recpiired  attendance 
each  night  in  .Stetson  Library  for  all  men 
with  warnings.  At  the  same  time,  a 
scholarship  conimiltee  composed  of  seniors 
will  determine  from  th<ar  teachers  the 
nature  of  the  kind  of  hi'lp  needed  b\'  men 
with  warnings." 

Theta  Delta  Chi:  President  Kowler 
writes,  "I'he  scholarship  of  our  fri'slimeii, 
as  well  as  upperclassmen,  i-.  tinder  the 
guidance  of  an  alumni  adviser  who  resides 
in  Williamstown,  and  an  I'ndergraduate 
Scholarshii)  Committee.  .'\n\  sludenl 
having  trouble  with  a  subject  is  aided  by 
an  upperclassman  majoring  in  that  sub-

.Spring    street,    dormitories,    fraternity    houses    and    cl'iss-rooms     scattered     at    con- 
venient   places   throughout    the   campus 

One  of  the  organizations  which  attempts 
to  transgress  the  limits  of  the  college  and 


to  establish  town-college  relationships  is 
the  Welfare  Committee  of  the  Williams 
Christian  Association. 

30  on  Committee 

The  Welfare  Committee,  which  claims 
a  membership  of  over  ^0  students,  does  not 
draw  on  the  funds  rai.sed  by  the  Annual 
Chest  Fund  Drive  (except  for  small  appro- 
priations for  clerical  work),  bu,'  depends 
entirely  upon  the  work  and  time  put  in  by 
its  members. 

Few  students  would  deny  the  impor- 
tance of  such  an  organization,  but  fewer 
still  realize  cither  its  importance  or  its 
functions.  Under  the  direction  of  Wil- 
liam C.  Schram  '43,  this  group  will  work 
in  conjunction  with  town  authorities  and 
the  Williamstown  Welfare  Committee  in 
T  scries  of  year-round  projects. 

'Old  Clothes  Drive' 

Probably  the  most  important  of  its 
duties  is  the  collecting  of  old  clothes  which 
will,  this  year,  be  in  the  form  of  two  or 
more,  probably  three  "Old  Clothes 
Drives".  The  first  drive,  which  Schram 
expects   will   include    college-wide   solici- 


tation, is  scheduled  to  begin  within  the 
next  several  weeks. 

Workers  collected  three  car-loads  of 
clothes  last  year  and  about  .seventy-five 
pairs  of  shoes,  one  of  the  main  objectives 
each  year.  Material  collecled  in  this  way 
is  turned  over  to  town  welfare  workers  who 
distribute  it  as  they  see  fit. 

Shut-ins  To  Be  Aided 

The  secomi  important  function  of  the 
organization  is  the  visiting  of  those  who, 
because  of  old-age,  non-contagious  di- 
seases or  other  reasons,  are  con  lined  to 
their  homes.  This  project,  Schram  points 
out,  has  been  greatly  neglected  in  past 
years.  He  plans  to  obtain  names  of  local 
shut-ins  and  to  send  representatives  to 
talk  with  them  at  intervals  of  about  two 
or  three  weeks. 

Two  years  ago  the  Welfare  Committee 
canvasse<l  the  tow^n  asking  church  pre- 
ferences, whether  or  not  indixiduals  at- 
tended and  "if  not,  why  not",  and  taking 
constructive  criticisms  and  suggestions  for 
the  improvement  of  Williamstown  church 
facilities.  The  third  main  objective  for 
this  year  will  be  to  extend  that  canvass  to 
South  Williamstown. 


Jesup  Bombing;  Student 
Casualty  Mark  Air  Raid 

Williamslovvn's  air  defense  saw  vigorous 
action  Tuesday  afternoon  in  its  second 
test  against  the  attack  of  a  very  theoreti- 
cal, very  w.ished  out  'enemy'  Liiflwuffe. 
The  local  defense  unit  went  through  its 
paces  in  spite  of  the  absence  of  the  invad- 
ing raiders,  who  had  been  forced  back  to 
their  bases  by  the  weather  man. 

The  air  raid  ;darm  was  sounded  in  the 
mitklle  of  the  afternoon  by  four  sharp 
blasts  of  the  fire  .siren  and  the  ringing  of 
the  chapel  bells.  .At  the  alarm  signal  the 
("■ale  Hose  company  dashed  out  in  search 
of  an  incendiary  bomb  which  had  been 
rc|X)rted  on  campus.  It  was  discovered 
in  Jesup  Hall.  Knotsof  students  gathered 
on  the  lab  campus  in  the  pelting  rain, 
attracted  by  the  clouds  of  smoke  bilkivving 
out  of  the  gutted  Sketch  othce  window. 

Students  on  the  scene  cheered  the 
volunteer  firemen  and  assisted  them  in 
entangling  and  playing  out  their  hoses. 
In  the  absence  of  explosive  bombs  some 
undergraduates  brought  along  firecrackers 
to  add  realism  to  the  occasion.  The  incen- 
diary bomb  (which  consisted  of  a  pail  of 
ignited  phosphorous  and  an  electric  fan) 
was  finally  extinguished  and  the  (jale  Hose 
company  retired  triumphantly  from  the 
field.

gi'ther,  even  if  liiat  does  .sound  wet  —  is  one  of  those  things. 


A  Breach  of  Tradition 

There  were  his.ses  in  at  least  one  house  the  other  day  when  the  follow- 
ing Adviser  announcement  was  reail:  ".\11  interested  in  volunteering  for 
service  in  the  .Vmerican  Field  Service  in  the  Middle  East  are  invited  to 
meet  at  \2Aa  on  Thursday  in  the  Alumni  Office  in  12  Jesiip.  Inforina- 
tioii  in  regartl  to  the  service  which  provides  for  draft  deferment  will  be  given 
out  at  that  time."    The  hisses  were  for  the  italicized  words. 

More  than  one  imdcrgraduate,  too,  has  voiced  an  objection  to  the 
priority  ratings  given  to  men  with  draft  numbers  and  seniors  in  the  selec- 
tion of  students  for  the  new  course  on  machine  tools.  Not  a  few  have 
asked,  "What  makes  a  man  who  is  about  to  be  inducted  into  the  armed 
services  of  the  nation  more  eligible  for  a  course  on  machine  tools  than  a 
sophomore  or  a  junior  with  a  physical  defect  sure  to  keep  him  out  of  the 
army?" 

Those  who  hissed  and  those  who  objected,  too,  are  ready  to  grant 
that  the  American  Field  Service  offers  duties  infinitely  more  dangerous 
than  any  the  American  draftee  is  likely  to  perform  any  time  .soon;  and 
they  admit  that  America  needs  capable  machinists  far  more  than  .she 
needs  a  fresh  batch  of  conscripts. 

Wliat  they  objected  to  and  what  they  hissed  at,  however,  was  being 
offered  o{)i)()rtunitics  for  service  in  l;erms  of  draft  determent.  Correctly, 
they  wondered  what  draft  deferment  had  to  do  with  being  willing  to 
serve  with  the  American  Field  Service.  Rightly,  they  wondered  why  the 
new  machine  tool  course  was  not  offered,  specifically,  to  men  whose 
opportunities  to  serve  in  the  nation's  armed  forces  would  be  hindered  by 
physical  defects. 

There  are  serious  justifications  for  maintaining  that  the  A.F.S. 
notice  and  the  enrollment  aspects  of  the  new  defense  course  are  out  of 
line  with  a  tradition  of  which  Williams  College,  founded  liy  a  man  who 
died  in  battle,  has  long  been  proud. 


Freshman  Caps  —  On  or  Off? 

On  last  Wednesday,  this  mimeographed  notice  was  posted  in  fresh- 
man entries:  "To  all  freshmen:  You  are  reminded  that  you  must  wear 
your  freshman  caps  until  Thanksgiving  vacation  —  unless  you  win  the 
Amherst-fre.shman  football  game."  The  notice  was  signed:  "By  Order 
of  the  Junior  Advi.scrs." 

Cyrus  N.  Morgan  '42,  Undergraduate  Council  president,  was  aware 
la.st  spring  that  "reminders"  would  not  be  successful  sanctions  of  the  U.  C. 
freshman  cap  rule.  For  this  reason,  he  obtained  the  U.  C.'s  ])erniission 
to  delegate  its  authority  for  enforcing  freshman  laws  to  the  Junior  Ad- 
vi.scrs. Alan  (i.  .Jame.s,  adviser  chairman,  has  found  this  fall,  however, 
that  the  J.  .\.'s  thciiLselves  have  no  real  coercive  power  to  enforce  fresh- 
man laws.  Con.seqiiently  his  committee  has  had  to  resort  to  the  iin- 
.successful  "reminding"  technique  which  the  U.  C.  utilized  a  year  ago. 

The  Junior  Advisers'  failure  to  enforce  the  cap  rule  has  not  resulted 
from  a  lack  of  real  effort  on  their  part.  Rather  it  has  resulted  from  the 
lack  of  support  accorded  them  by  a  majority  of  upperclassmen  and  social 
groups.  This  fall's  experience  clearly  indicates  that  the  freshman  cap 
rule  can  only  be  effective  if  the  college  as  a  whole  gives  complete  support 
to  tho.se  men  who  have  the  immediate  ta.sk  of  enforcing  the  rule. 

The  present  inability  of  the  Junior  Advisers  to  enforce  the  cap  rule 
is  establishing  a  dangerous  precedent.  Every  day  freshmen  are  dis- 
covering that  they  can  openly  flaunt  the  rules  of  the  U.  C.  without  fear 
of  uppercla.ss  disapproval.  Because  this  situation  threatens  the  very  basis 
of  competent  student  government,  the  freshman  cap  rule  should  cither  be 
stricken  from  the  books,  or  the  U.  C.  representatives  should  take  im- 
mediale  steps  to  .see  that  their  legislation  is  strictly  enforced. 

If  each  social  group  should  instruct  all  its  members  to  make  certain 
the  freshman  delegation  is  obeying  the  cap  rule,  then  violators  would  be 
faced  by  an  overwhelming  coalition  of  upperclass  opinion  and  organized 
policing. 

The  freshman  caj)  rule  is  not  in  itself  of  much  importance.  If 
student  opinion  —  as  now  indicated  by  the  lack  of  support  accorded  the 
Advisers  —  is  opposed  to  enforcing  the  law,  the  U.  C.  could  easily  repeal 
it.     But  today  the  law  does  .stand,  and  it  is  being  violated  at  every  turn.

mtchanical    end    of    tlie    pr(il)leni.     Tlie 
(juestion  is:  arc  tlicy  really  doing  all  tlicy 
say,   and,    if  so,    why   aren't    the   results 
better? 

"As  long  as  there  are  so  many  extra- 
curricular activities  on  the  Williams  cam- 
pus, a  certain  nunilier  of  men  arc  going  to 
fall  by  the  wayside  regardless  of  what  the 
Dean  ami  the  fraternity  scholarship  com- 
mittees try  to  do.  Are  the  men  who  are 
most  capable  and  most  interested  in  help- 
ing freshmen  with  their  scholastic  prob- 
lems always  placed  on  the  fraternity  scho- 
larship committees?  If  not,  more  atten- 
tion to  this  will  probably  attain  better 


results." 

Joseph  E.  Johnson,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  history:  Mr.  Johnson  thinks  the 
greatest  fault  of  the  fraternity  scholastic 
cotnmittees  is  their  failure  to  contact  pro- 
fessors concerning  the  delinquencies  of 
their  freshmen.  "As  soon  as  a  house  sees 
a  man  in  trouble,  the  scholastic  committee 
should  make  him  contact  his  instructor 
immediately,"  Mr.  Johnson  asserts.  He 
adds  that  not  a  single  fraternity  com- 
mitteeman has  ever  spoken  to  him  about 
a  freshman's  scholastic  difficulties. 

Professor  Johnson  lauds  the  year-long 
freshman  programs  which  several  houses 
have  added  to  their  Hell  Week  as  "ex- 
tremely sensible." 


Charles  R.  Keller,  assislaiU  professor 
of  history:  Mr.  Keller  hopes  the  frater- 
nities' scholastic  pmnranis  do  not  represent 
a  "campaign  for  respeclable  grades,"  feel- 
ing that  Williams  men  should  "shoot  at 
s(jinetliing  higher  than  respeclability." 
Professor  Keller  believes  that  informal 
discussions  with  professors  at  informal 
meals  will  help  prevent  a  "campaign  for 
respeclability."  He  adds,  "I  don'l  want 
to  sit  at  the  head  lalile  when  I  go  to  a 
house.  It's  too  formal  and  unnatural.  I 
want  Id  sit  in  some  insignilicanl  place  with 
the  boys  I  know." 

Ill  addition  to  the  informal  dinner  date, 
Mr.  Keller  feels  fraternities  could  solve 
their  freshman  scholarship  problems  if 
lhe\'  would  "fasten  on  the  man  whom  the\' 
know  is  going  to  have  scholastic  diflicnlties 
and  consult  with  Tom  Wood  (director  of 
adnii.ssions)  about  the  particular  case  and 
ihe  solutions  to  it."  He  advises  upper- 
classmen to  see  faculty  members  personally 
about  "slow"  freshmen  and  not  to  contact 
then  by  letter. 

Mr.  Keller  approves  of  the  man-to-nian 
adviser  .system  in  fraternities  "as  long  as 
the  upperclassmaii  assigned  to  a  freshman 
isn't  a  well-known  loafer."  He  hopes  the 
fraternities  will  pick  men  of  high  scholastic 
caliber  for  their  scholarship  committees — 
"men  who  hold  the  respect  of  the  entire 
house." 

Max  Lerner,  professor  of  political 
science:  Mr.  Lerner  has  not  \et  had  time 
to  read  The  Rkcoud  report  of  the  frater- 
nities' scholarship  programs.  Mr.  Lerner 
promises  The  Re<ohd  a  letter  "in  the  near 
future"  which  will  completely  state  his 
views  on  Williams  fraternities.  In  ex- 
plaining why  he  did  not  wish  to  make  a 
brief  comment  for  publication  today,  Mr. 
Lerner  said:  "If  a  man  wanted,  he  could 
gel  away  with  talking  communism  around 
here.  But  when  he  talks  against  frater- 
nities — I" 

Luther  S.  Mansfield,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  English:  Mr.  Mansfield  notices 
that  .several  fraternities  each  September 
strongly  urge  their  freshmen  to  participate 
in  competitions,  "stressing  the  extra- 
curricular phase  of  college  life  without  con- 
sidering its  relation  to  the  academic  phase." 
Professor  Mansrield  feels  that  the  frater- 
nities should  first  make  their  pledges 
realize  the  importance  of  the  college's 
academic  side,  and  should  —  early  in 
October  —  make  sure  that  their  freshmen 
can  do  "at  least  passabK'  well"  in  their 
courses  before  stressing  extra-curricular 
activities. 

Mr.  Manslield  says  that  "fraternity 
loyalty"  can  do  little  to  encourage  scholar- 
ship. He  belie\'es  the  real  value  of  scholar- 
ship programs  lies  in  their  ability  to  con- 
vince the  pledges  that  upperclassmen  are 
genuineh'  interested  in  how  the  freshmen 
are  progressing  scholastically.  If  the 
programs  achieve  this  purpose,  Mr.  Man.s- 
lield  considers  them  more  influential  that 
"anything  a  faculty  member  might  do  or 
say." 

Fraternity  study  halls  are  a  good  idea, 
Professor  Manslield  asserts,  as  long  as 
ihey  employ  public  opinion  to  regulate 
attendance.  Mr.  Manslield  is  "skeptical 
about  any  rigid  enforcement  of  atten- 
dance." 

Richard  A.  Newhall,  acting  president: 
"  Ihe  primary  weakness  of  the  fraternity 
point  of  view  towards  scholarship  is  the 
notion  that  a  C  is  a 'gentleman's  grade'." 
Mr.  Newhall  warns  fraternities  that  their 
scholarship  programs  —  "mere  organiza- 
tions" —  will  not  be  successful  "unless 
those  organizations  arc  founded  on  a  sin- 
cere desire  for  education."  An  organized 
program  alone,  Mr.  Newhall  feels,  cannot 
do  the  trick.  "Education  of  any  kind  can 
only  be  a  success  if  individuals  snap  to  it 
because  they  sincerely  want  to."  Acting 
President  Newhall  does  not  consider  organ- 
ized study  halls  a  solution  to  the  fraternity 
scholastic  problem;  "education  goes  on 
inside  an  individual,  and  the  desire  to 
know  can't  be  forced  into  a  man  by  frater- 
nity laws  or  programs  alone." 

William  G .  .  Perry,  assistant  to  the 
dean:  "The  fraternity  scholarship  pro- 
grams form  excellent  means  for  assisting 
the  freshman  to  adjust  his  techniques  of 
study  to  the  college  situation.  If  such 
programs  in  their  insistence  on  grades 
neglect  the  primary  purposes  of  education, 
they  will  fail  even  of  their  immediate  ends. 
There  certainly  should  be  in  every  college 
some  way  of  making  common  knowledge 
of  those  techniques  of  study  which  stu- 
dents have  found  effective.  Perhaps  the 
fraternity  scholastic  programs  help  make 
these  techniques  common  knowledge. 

"Since  methods  of  study  are  a  field 
which  has  been  my  own  particular  interest, 
I  shall  be  glad  at  any  time  to  assist  indivi- 
dual students  or  to  discuss  with  their  fra- 
ternity advisers  technical  matters  of  study 
which  might  supplement  their  more  imme- 
diate knowledge  of  particular  courses." 
John  H.  Roberta,  professor  of  English:

Thomas  J.  Wood,  director  of  ad-

scholastic  pnigrams  "represent  an  im-

CAN  CATS  SEE  IN  THE  DARK? 


Do  CATS  have  eyes  that  can  see  in 
the  (iark?  Not  in  lolal  darkness, 
Science  says.  But  in  comparative  dark- 
ness their  pupils  are  capable  of  expand- 
ing to  huge  size  in  order  to  utilize  what 
light  there  is. 

Unlike  the  cat,  man  is  a  daytime  animal. 
Until  a  few  generations  ago,  men  rose 
and  retired  vnth  the  sun,  using  their 
eyes  mostly  for  distant  seeing  of  simple 
olDJects.  Even  in  the  shade  of  a  tree 
in  summer,  your  eyes  have  the  benefit  of 

as  much  as  a  hundred 
*'^K',Wi  *i™ss  more  light  than  you 
l^j^jf'Vjb/     struggle  to  read  or  study 

under  in  the  average  living 

room  at  night. 

NO  WONDER  one  out  of 
five  grade  school  children, 


two  out  ol  tive  at 
college  age,  have 
defective  eyesight. 
And  no  wonder 
Science  is   doing 


y^F' 


something    about 


improving  your  lighting. 

Easy  to  Start  Today 

Today,  while  we  can't  yet  bring  the  sun 
indoors,  we  can  come  closer  to  it  than 
ever  before.  We  can  start,  in.  your 
home  or  in  your  office,  store  or  factory, 
by  making  a  simple  survey  of  your  lamps 
and  fixtures  with  a  light  meter. 

You'll  be  surprised  and  delighted  by 
the  many  new  ingenious  ways  you  can 
get  more  light  at  low  cost!  Just 
phone,  and  ask  to  have  your 
lighting  measured.  There's 
no  obligation  whatever!

|Wood  Says  Houses  Pledged  57%  of  '44's  Top 
Scholars,  83%  of  Lowest  During  1940  Rushing 

'III  K  Rkcohd  has  already  reported  that  all  Williams  fraternities  have  set  up 
scholastic  programs  designed  to  aid  their  freshmen  in  effectively  fulfilling  thi 
academic  obligations.  Today,  Thomas  J.  Wood,  director  of  admissions,  reveals 
that  the  scholarship  committees  created  by  these  programs  face  a  most  serious  and 
difficult  task  —  if  the  fraternity  experiences  with  the  class  of  1944  offer  any 
indication  of  what  may  take  place  this  ^semester, 
Mr.    Wood    declares   that    last    year's 

J  marks  reveal  the  fraternities  pledged  only 

1 57%  of  the  mo.st  intelligent  fifth   of  the 

I  class  of  1944,  while  at  the  same  time  they 

I  pledged  8.S%  of  the  lowest  scholastic  fifth 

I  of  that  same  class.    The  ratio  of  fraternity 

linen  to  Garfield  Club  incmbcis  is  70%- 

|30%  far  the  class  of  1944,  but  in  terms  of 

I  scholarship,  the  Club  now   holds   within 

[its  membership  43%  of  the  best  students, 
and  only  17%  of  the  poorest  students  of 

I  the  present  sophomore  class. 

The  figures  below   show    which    social 

I  units  the  top  scholastic  fifth  of  1944  joined 

Ion  Pledge  Night,  1940,  and  which  groups 

Ithe  bottom  scholastic  fifth    joined  that

for  the  benefit  of  ihe  training  table,  ihe 
dance  will  result  in  three  waiting  jobs  for

'42.  manager  of  the  table. 

Jack  Dab's  ailroit  caricature  of  Cald- 
well's grandstand  and  between-lhe-halves 
performances  brought  cheers  from  his 
audience  as  he  lectured  his  s(|uad  al  the 
half  of  an  imaginary  footliall  game.  When 
the  tongue-lashing  ended,  the  squad  dove 
into  their  job  of  selling  peanuts. 

Outstanding  also  was  freshman  Cushing 
Strom's  version  of  the  current  trick  in- 
volving the  disappearance  of  a  dollar  bill, 
only  lo  have  il  reappear  inside  a  lemon. 

Stu  Lare,  his  hands  clamped  around  Ihe 
microphone,  gave  forth  with  some  of  his 
negro  interpretations.  In  response  lo 
pleas  from  the  audience,  he  tried  a  rendi- 
tion of  "Jolting  Joe  DiMaggio",  gave  that 
up,  and  rounded  olT  with  "My  Darling 
Nellie  Gray".  Placement  Director  Ed 
Holmes  revived  his  "April  Showers"  and 
"Sonny  Hoy". 

An  octet  reiluced  lo  a  septet  and  a  fresh- 
man hillbilly  trio  reduced  to  a  duet  finished 
the  slate.  The  octet  sang  "And  When  the 
I-eaves",  "Gems  ol  '13",  and  "Juanila". 
The  hillbilly  duet  of  ICd  Galeski  and  Frank 
Cioodrich  produced  "My  Old  Kentucky

Blues".

the  play-off  which  will  decide  what  team 
will  represent  Williams  against  Amherst 
on  the  morning  of  November  15.  Only 
Zeta  Psi,  last  year's  winner,  has  a  chance 
of  overtaking  the  Delta  Phis,  providing

door  .Saturday  afternoon,  and  twice  the 
Pur|)le  capitalized  on  its  breaks  to  score 
touchdowns  which  stopj)ed  Howdoin  cold 
on  Weston  Kield.  'The  score  was  13-0,  and 
the  triumph  was  the  third  in  four  games 
for  Charlie  Caldwell's  men. 

Highlighted  by  the  bone-crushing  tack- 
les of   Hill  Courier,  Williams   put    on    a 
really  great  (lefensi\e  show  for  the  4,000 
fans  who  sat  through  four  periods  of  an 
on-and-off   drizzle.     'The    word    had   gone 
forth  that  Howdoin's  b.ickfield     repnte<lly

Aided  li\  the  wind  and  the  exi-elleiit 
kicking  of  MulT  Dyer,  Howdoin  pushed 
Williams  about  for  a  while  in  the  first 
period,  and  one  of  thi'se  pushes  almost 
resulted  in  a  score.  But  Hunting's 
attempted  field  goal  went  awry,  and  that 
was  the  last  time  Howdoin  really  threaten- 
ed. 

The  rest  of  t  he  time  Williams  was  jmsli-

or  formal  grievance  —  adjusting  machinery.  A  recent  Rkcohu  survey  levealeil, 
in  fact,  that  waiting  on  tables  is  the  most  lucrative  form  of  student  employment  at 
Williams. 

Average  Rate  $1.14  + 


The  averagi'  undergraduate  waiter  is  a 
member  of  the  campus  labor  elite.  He 
works  a  \bh  hour  week,  including  the  time 
employed  eating,  anil  a  3  l/S  week  month 
for  full  board.  His  a\erage  hourly  wage 
rate  approximates  $1.14  in  terms  of  free 
board.  He  serves  nine  persons  at  each 
meal,  and  during  the  period  when  he  is 
actively  employed,  waits  on  three  break- 
fasts per  week. 

In  spite  of  these  generally  high  average 
labor  standards,  the  survey  disclosed  a 
certain  lack  of  uniformity  in  waiting 
conditions  among  the  various  campus 
social  units. 

There  arc  twenty-six  waiters  at  the 
Garfield  Club,  while  the  number  of  frater- 
nity waiters  varies  from  five  to  thirteen. 
In  the  Garfield  Club  only  two  of  the 
twenty-six  waiters  are  non-scholarship  men 
while  in  the  average  house  from  one-third 
to  one-half  of  the  waiters  do  not  hold 
scholarships.  In  some  houses  there  is 
only  one  full-time  waiter.  In  others  there 
arc  as  many  as  six.  The  number  of  per- 
sons that  the  individual  waiters,  among 
the  various  social  organizations,  serve 
varies  from  seven  to  twelve. 

Disorspanciaa  Cited 
The  greatest   discrepancy   among   the 
campus  social  groups  lies  in  wage    and 
hour  standards.     In   one     social   unit   a 


waiter  must  wurk  twenty-lwo  hours  per 
week  (this  includes  lime  spent  eating)  and 
four  weeks  out  of  every  month  to  earn  full 
board.  .'\l  another  social  unit,  where  the 
weekly  charge  for  food  is  identical,  a 
waiter  must  work  only  fourteen  hours  per 
wei'k  and  two  and  two-thirds  weeks  per 
month  for  full  board.  Deducting  time  off 
for  eating,  the  hourh'  wage  rate  in  these 
two  ca.ses  is  found  to  \'ary  between  $.(iO 
and  $1.70.  In  another  social  gniup  the 
full-time  waiters  work  fi\'e  out  of  every 
six  weeks  and  fourteen  hours  per  week  but 
are  not  credited  with  full  board.  Duly  the 
head  waiter  receives  full  board  credit. 

Subatitution  Methods 
Other  divergences  in  campus  waiting 
practices  are  concerned  with  the  number 
of  breakfasts  each  waiter  must  sei\e,  the 
methods  of  obtaining  substitute  waiters, 
and  the  exemption  of  waiters  from  certain 
dues  and  charges.  In  some  fraternities 
the  student  waiters  serve  seven  breakfasts 
per  week;  in  others  the  house  members 
wait  on  themselves.  The  usual  method 
of  obtaining  substitutes  is  by  making 
arrangements  with  other  waiters  for  ex- 
changing meals.  If  this  fails,  the  waiter 
who  desires  a  leave  of  absence  must  hireja 
substitute,  and  the  charge  varies  among 
the  social  organizations  from  twenty-five

Mr.  Wood's  Statistics 

'riii'iv  is  .soiiiciliiiif,'  of  a  predicament  in  tlie  .stati.stics  Mr.  Wood  has 
icveulod  ill  toiiitriir.s  |)a|)er,  and  in  the  relHlion.ship'  those  .statistics  bear 
ti)  the  po.silidii  of  fiviivv  and  repo.se  tliat  Williams  fraternities  pos.sess  on 
llii.s  eaiMpus. 

Whatever  the  statistics  prove  about  individual  hou.scs,  added  to- 
gether they  indicate  one  .strilviiig  fact  —  Williams  fraternities  don't  care 
imich  aboiil  a  inan'.s  .schola.stic  interest  and  ability  to  do  the  job  the 
college  has  scl   before  him,  until  after  he  has  been  pledged. 

They  say  —  even  more  strikingly  —  that  his  chances  of  being  pledged 
are  very  much  better  if  he  is  likely  to  flunk  out  than  if  he  is  likely  to  be  a 
Phi  Bete. 

And  it  will  make  little  sense  for  fraternity  men  to  toss  away  those 
.statistics  by  .saying,  "Well,  it's  the  fault  of  the  Office  on  Admissions  and 
not  ours  that  all  the  bright  boys  are  spooks." 

For  the  very  simple  fact  is  that  less  than  halt  of  the  fraternities  dur- 
ing the  recent  rushing  season  bothered  to  find  out  what  were  the  scho- 
lastic prospects  of  1945  from  Mr.  Wood  —  who  is  in  the  onZy  position  to 
give  this  information  reliably,  accurately,  and  comparatively. 

The  very  .simple  fact  is  that  only  seven  fraternities  used  Mr.  Wood's 
office  to  shai)e  their  delegations  so  that  on  pledge  night  they  had  no  doubts 
about  the  scholastic  calibre  of  their  freshmen. 

What  does  all  this  lead  to? 

In  one  place,  it  ought  to  give  a  lot  of  people  reason  to  wonder  about 
the  position  of  ])rivilege  which  fraternities  possess  at  Williams.  It  ought 
to  give  a  lot  of  people  a  good  striking  position  against  a  system  that  leaves 
scholarship  outside  the  balance  of  factors  that  determine  membership. 

In  another,  it  presents  quite  clearly  evidence  that  over  half  of 
Williams  fraternities,  by  disregarding  scholarship  in  pledging,  give 
sanction  to  the  notion  that  scholastic  interest  and  success  are  inimical  to 
fraternity  life  or  a  full  college  career.  Intended  or  not,  the  fraternity  that 
refuses  to  uvigh  scholarship  in  judging  freshmen  is  at  the  same  time  dis- 
regarding a  basic  aim  of  this  college. 

Let  no  one  think  that  the  only  way  out  of  this  predicament — a  system 
of  privilege  within  the  college  that  serves  also  as  a  drag  —  is  the  abolition 
of  fraternities. 

The  solution  lies  in  many  directions,  but  first  of  all  in  the  readiness  of 
Williams  fraternity  men  to  promoLe  the  idea  that  scholastic  interest  and 
success  are  a  part  of  fraternity  life,  and  a  part  ot  a  full  college  career. 
Williams  friiternity  men  should  stoj)  pretending  that  they  complement 
the  ])urposes  of  this  college  simply  because  they  are  not  waging  an  overt 
campaign  again.st  education.  Fraternities  will  not  be  complementing 
the  piirpo.ses  of  Williams  until  they  are  waging  a  fight  for  .scholastic 
interest  and  success.  This  fight  is  lieing  waged  now  —  by  the  f'-aternities 
that  do  consider  scholarship  in  pledging,  by  fraternities  that  seek  to  break 
the  harriers  between  faculty  and  student;  by  frdternities  that  ars  supple- 
menting their  Hell  Week  with  full-semester  programs  intended  to  center 
the  minds  of  freshmen  on  college  and  house  problems.  Unless  other 
fraternities,  too,  overcome  the  fallacy  of  equating  inaction  with  .service, 
the  job  these  houses  are  doing  may,  nonetheless,  end  in  the  final  destruc- 
tion no  fraternity  wants. 


CUT  SYSTEM 


(Continued  from  lage  1) 
suiiK'stiT  unclur  the  Limited  Cut  System 
stiow  that  the  average  rati'  of  ctits  per  mail 
per  year  course  liasheeii  reduced  from  14.1 
to  7.6,  the  ei|uivalent  ol  two  and  one  half 
weeks.  Hdwever,  of  tho.se  students  sidj- 
ject  to  this  new  regulation,  il'/p  among 
sophomores  and  40''o  among  juniors  incur- 
red the  "[lo-cut"  penalty  at  one  time  or 
another.  Twcnly-one  students  in  the 
tliree  lower  classes  even  cut  while  on  "no- 
cuts."  " 

Penalty  Increstsed 
Since  this  latter  type  of  repeated  over- 
cutting  showed  little  tendency  to  abate,  it 
was  found  necessary  to  increase  the  penal- 
ty from  an  extension  of  the  "no-cut"  period 
to  inimediate  probation.  Under  new 
regulation,  penalty  for  a  primary  offense 
is  "no-cuts"  for  two  weeks  or  one  month. 
Cutting  during;  this  period  will  result  in 
prohation,  and  if  a  student  misses  a  class 
while  on  "pro,"  he  will  be  under  consider- 
ation for  immediate  ilismissal. 

Since  the  primary  purpose  of  these 
penalties  is  to  prevent  the  offense,  official 
notice  was  published  throughout  the 
qollege.  The  Committee  reported  that 
while  it  is  too  early  to  measure  accurate 
results,  "it  would  appear  that  many 
students  even  now  feel  little  .sense  of 
responsibility    toward    the    regulations." 

'Foresight'  Urged 

The  danger  of  expulsion  is  the  most 
serious  aspect  of  the  cutting  rules  bat  the 
Committee  report  showed  that  "students 
shortsightedly  sec  only  the  inconvenience, 
and  neglect  to  take  proper  precautions 
against  'accidental'  cutting.  As  a  result 
they  do  li/)t  understand  —  that  they  are 
receiving  a  severe  penalty  Hot  just  for 
'breaking  the  'rliles'  or  'one  careless  error' 
but  rather  fm"  a  genei^ar  I6ck  of  foresight 
and  responsibility." 


"Thoughtful  students  would  not  expose 
themselves  by  s(|uandering  their  cut 
allowances,  cutting  con.secutively,  or  by 
deliberately  incurring  the  "no-cut"  penal- 
t\'.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  students 
will  recognize  the  full  nature  of  their  re- 
sponsibilitN'  through  snmeothernieansthan 
that  of  watching  some  individual  cause  his 
own  dismissal  through  sheer  thoughtless- 
ness." 


WAITERS 

(Continued  from  page  I) 
to  fifty  cents  per  meal.  At  one  social  unit 
a  sy.stematic  substitute  waiting  plan  is  put 
into  effect  in  the  second  .semester  of  every 
year  whereby  each  waiter  gets  at  least  one 
day  off  per  week. 

Waiters  and  Dues 

The  practice  of  making  special  exemp- 
tions for  waiters  in  certain  assessments 
varies  with  the  social  organization.  Some 
fraternities  have  an  annual  $75  ceiling  on 
house  charges  that  can  be  made  against 
waiters  anti  scholarship  men.  Other 
social  groups  make  no  reductions  whatso- 
ever in  dues  and  taxes  for  their  waiters. 
One  campus  social  unit,  on  the  other  hand, 
makes  a  flat  fifty  per  cent  reduction  for  its 
waiters  in  all  house  charges.

FRATERNITIES 

(Continued  from  pace  1) 
VVilliams  fraternities  last  year  did  not 
consider  scholarshi|>  as  pait  of  their 
ciiteriuii  forjudging  freshmen.  Mr.  Wood 
adds  that  this  failme  to  consider  scholar- 
ship as  a  pledging  policy  has  added  fuel  to 
the  present  fraternity  problem  of  low 
scholarship. 

Seven  fraternities,  several  of  them  dis- 
turbed over  the  small  numlier  of  capable 
scholais  pledged  last  year,  consulted  with 
Mr.  Wood  during  Kreshman  Week  this 
September  about  the  scholastic  promise 
of  men  whom  they  were  eoiLsidering  for 
membership.  Mr.  Wood  gave  those  houses 
his  estimation  of  certain  freshmen's 
scholastic  ability,  and  tried  to  analyze  for 
the  seven  fraternities  the  character  and 
scholastic  sincerity  of  the  men  of  194.S  in 
whom  they  were  interested,  lie  did  not 
in  any  way  try  to  hurt  the  chances  of  any 
freshmen  for  fraternity  membership,  but 
did  present  to  the  houses  the  facts  con- 
cerning the  freshmen's  past  records. 

Mr.  Wood  is  willing  to  discuss  with  any 
fraternity  representati\e  the  problems 
which  some  of  the  men  of  1945  may  now 
be  facing,  and  hopes  the  fraternities  will 
make  use  of  his  ofiice  "at  any  time,  should 
any  serious  question  arise  concerning  the 
scholarship  of  some  of  the  present  fresh- 
men." Mr.  Wood  will  be  "glad  to  help 
any  fraternity  next  September  who  is 
anxious  to  know  the  scholastic  promise  of 
the  members  of  1946  beforcplcdgingthcm." 
The  director  of  admissions  feels  that 
pre-pledging  knowledge  of  freshman  scho- 
lastic ability  may  help  many  houses  avoid 
serious  scholarship  difficulties,  but  em- 
phasizes that  the  services  of  his  office 
"will  always  be  open  to  the  fraternities, 
but  will  never  be  forced  upon  them." 

Mr.  Wood  asserts  that  the  facts  con- 
cerning the  class  of  1944  raise  two  ques- 
tions —  "Did  the  fraternities  last  year 
pledge  men  of  low  scholastic  ability?"  or 
"Did  the  fraternity  influence  lower  the 
freshmen's  desire  to  study  after  they  had 
been  pledged?"  Mr.  Wood  himself  be- 
lieves that  the  houses  last  year  did  not,  in 
general,  harm  freshman scholarshiprecords, 
but  that  many  fraternities  did  overlook 
scholarship  when  they  were  pledging  the 
present  sophomore  class. 


AMENDMENT 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
spoke  for  the  ConferiMjce  on  Democratic 
Processes,  sponsored  l)y  Union  College,  to 
be  aired  over  station  WG\'  weekly  from 
Schenectady  this  year.  In  the  1940-41 
series  both  Mr.  Newhall  and  Professor 
Paul  Birdsall,  also  of  the  history  depart- 
ment, took  jjart.  The  latter  is  scheduled 
to  follow  Mr.  Newhall  w'ilh  a  talk  .some- 
time in  January  on  the  Amendment  sub- 
ject. 

'Monitor'  Reader  Helps 

The  proposed  amendment,  now  in  the 
form  of  a  resolution,  reached  the  House 
by  a  very  devious  route.  Though  the 
campaign  began  with  the  letter  to  the 
Springfield  Republican,  it  was  really  set  in 
motion  by  the  acting  president's  letter  to 
the  Christian  Science  Monitor,  which  not 
only  drew  a  great  deal  of  favorable  com- 
ment, but  prompted  David  Bigelow,  of 
Miami  Beach,  Kla.,  to  write  his  representa- 
tives in  Congress  on  the  subject. 

Bigelow's  letters,  not  only  to  the  legis- 
lators but  to  leading  newspapers,  resulted 
in  the  plan's  being  drawn  up  into  a  reso- 
lution by  the  honorable  Pat  Cannon  of 
Florida  and  presented  to  the  House  Judi- 
ciary Committee. 

'Amendments  Take  Time' 

Although  Mr.  Newhall  does  believe  that 
"the  state  of  public  opinion  is  now  ripe  for 
a  consideration  of  this  kind,"  he  points  out 
that  the  number  of  proposed  Constitu- 
tional aiTiendments  always  by  far  exceeds 
the  number  passed.  If  his  amendment 
doespass,  it  will  be  a  niatter  of  years,  not  of 
weeks  or  months,  until  the  final  ratification 
of  the  amendment,  Mr.  Newhall  asserted. 

The  proposed  amendment  to  Article  II, 
Section  2  of  the  Constitution  recommends 
that; 

"Section  1.  The  President  shall  have 
power,  by  and  with  the  advice  and  consent 
of  Congress,  to  make  treaties  provided  a 
majority  of  the  Senators  and  Represent- 
atives concur. 

"Section  2.  This  article  shall  be  in- 
operative unless  it  shall  have  been  ratified 
as  an  amendment  to  the  Constitution  by 
the  legislatures  of  three-fourths  of  the 
several  States,  as  provided  in  the  Consti- 
tution, within  seven  years  from  the  date  of 
the  submission  thereof  to  the  States  by 
the  Congress."

touchdown  this  Saturday  as  Amherst 
nosed  out  Rochester  7-2. 

The  Bowdoin  results  would  indicate 
plenty  of  trouble,  although  the  breaks 
were  all  going  the  wrong  way  for  the  Polar 
Bears.  In  an  Amherst  game  anything  can 
happen.  Keniember  the  Williams  under- 
dogs of  1940,  flattening  the  Jeffs  in  a  16-8 
"Stover  at  Yale"  bombshell  and  cross  your 
lingers.  We'll  give  a  trembling  vote  for 
the  old  Purple  Cow.

Despite  a  great  improvement  in  team- 
work and  sensational  saves  by  goalie  Norm 
Lowell,  Williams'  soccer  team  went  down 
to  its  third  straight  defeat  of  the  1941 
campaign  on  Cole  F'ield,  Saturday,  when  a 
scrapp\'  R.  P.  I.  eleven  oulbooled  the 
Purple  by  a  2-1  count. 

Coach  lid  Bullock,  in  an  elforl  to  throw 
off  the  Williams  lethargx'  evident  in  the 
Yale  game  a  week  before,  started  three 
sophomores  in  the  center  of  his  forward' 
line.  Bill  Brewer  took  over  the  inside  left 
position,  while  George  Crandall,  last  year's 
freshman  captain,  started  at  center  for- 
ward, and  Bob  Benson  began  at  inside 
right . 

Torre  Opens  Scoring 

After  holding  the  Engineers  scoreless  in 
the  hrsl  half,  the  Purple  defense  was  linally 
broken  through  by  R.  P.  I.'s  brilliant 
Captain  De  la  Torre  early  in  the  third 
period  en  a  shot  from  deep  left  which 
bounced  off  the  right  goal  post  into  the 
Williams  net. 

Several  minutes  later  Felix  Teran,  little 
Mexican  player,  dribbled  in  close  lo  the 
Williams  goal  and  lured  Lowell  far  enough 
out  of  position  to  sink  another  shot  for  the 
Fingineers  and  give  them  a  2-0  lead. 

Purple  Tallies  in  4th 
The  Purple's  lone  score  came  in  the 
fourth  period  on  a  short  shot  by  Bill 
Brewer  after  a  scrimmage  in  front  of  the 
R.  P.  I.  goal.  The  Engineers'  goalie  was 
drawn  out  of  position  by  the  melee,  and 
Brewer  had  little  trouble  slipping  the  ball 
past  him.

the  ball  out  of  bounds  on  his  own  26.  In 
just  a  jilTy  Williams  turned  in  a  score, 
when  llerliie  I  lolden  (lipped  a  LS-yard 
pass  to  Al  Ilearne  for  a  touchdown.  Fran 
Dolan  booted  the  extra  point  into  the 
score  with  a  beautiful  phieement  s<|uare 
bi'tween  the  uprights. 

Despite  ;i  sa\'age  Bowdoin  defense, 
Williams'  afternoon  uprising  was  not  i|uite 
finished,  e\'en  then.  Twii  niiiiuti-s  later 
Bill  Schmidt  picked  up  a  stray  Bowdoin 
aerial  on  his  own  48.  •  The  Holden-to- 
liearne  combination  was  good  for  14, 
Marsh  Ilannock  provided  :iiiother  12,  and 
then  i  lolden  himself  took  up  the  burden 
with  a  lightning  20-yard  ilash  across  the 
final  stripe. 

If  the  Lady  who  smiled  so  sweellj' 
during  the  second  period  had  kept  up  her 
goodwill,  the  Purple  might  have  had  at 
least  another  touihdown  and  perhaps  two. 
As  it  was  1  lolden  did  rip  oil  a  58-yaril  jaunt 
into  pay  dirt  in  the  final  tiuarter,  after 
taking  a  lateral  from  Courier,  who  had 
intercepted  a  Polar  Bear  pass.  But  the 
165-pound  senior  stepped  just  out  of 
bounds  on  the  liowdoin  30,  and  at  that 
point  the  home  offense  bogged. 

In  the  last  minute  Williams  recovered  a 
fumble  on  the  Bowdoin  15  and  in  three 
plays  drove  to  the  6-inch  line,  but  before 
another  play,  time  ran  out. 

WITH  THE  WATER  BOY 

Just  before  the  Bowdoin  team  left 
Spring  Street  to  go  to  Weston  F'ieltl,  Coach 
Adam  Walsh  hopped  out  of  the  bus  to 
greet    former    Captain    Jack    Daly    with 

"Hey,  you  big  Irishman." 

*  «         *         * 

In  1925  Walsh  was  captain  and  center 
of  the  Notre  Dame  team  famous  for  the 
"Four  Horsemen  and  the  Seven   Mules." 

•  *  *  * 

Buck  O'Neill,  captain  of  Williams  forty 
years  ago  and  later  a  coach  at  Williams, 
Colgate,  Syracuse  and  Columbia,  was  in 
the  stands  to  watch  Williams  play.

Freshman  Eleven  Loses 
Opener  to  Norwich,  7-6 

Booters      Score      3      Late 
Goals  in  R.  P.  I.  Defeat 


Two  freshman  teams  split  their  contests 
on  Cole  Field,  Saturday, when  the  Norwich 
first-year  men  eked  out  a  7-6  win  over 
Coach  Whoops  Snively's  eleven,  and  Coach 
Clarence  Chaffee's  booters  copped  a  3-0 
verdict  from  the   K.P.I,  yearlings. 

Outweighed  almost  ten  pounds  to  the 
man,  the  eleven  found  difficulty  in  getting 
its  attack  under  way.  The  first  score 
came  early  in  the  game  when  a  Norwich 
linesman  liroke  through,  and  after  block- 
ing a  Carl  Oulier  punt,  ran  it  thirt\-  yards 
for  a  touchdown.  The  Snivelymen  linally 
came  to  life  in  the  final  stanza,  and  tallied 
on  a  pass,  Bob  Plunkett  to  John  Brown. 
However,  the  attempt  for  the  extra  point 
was  thwarted  b>-  the  Vermonters,  giving 
them  the  decision.  Meanwhile,  the  third 
yearling  eleven  defeated  Albany  Academy 
6-0,  by  virtue  of  a  thirty-yard  touchdown 
run  by  Russ  Tucker. 

Stalled  for  three  periods  in  their  at- 
tempts to  score,  the  soccermen  finally 
chalked  up  three  (|uick  goals  in  the  final 
canto  for  their  first  victory  of  the  season. 
Larry  Smith's  tally  was  the  first  to  break 
the  ice  and  it  was  soon  followed  b\-  count- 
ers by  Bill  Eyre  and   Beanj'  Kingsbury.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  MONDAY.  OCTOBER  20,  1941

Intercollegiate  Debate 
At  Williams  This  Year 


HiKlilinlninn  an  active  year  for  the 
Adclphic  I'niuii,  the  New  England  Inter- 
collegiate HebatiiiK  'r<)uriiaiiient  will  be 
held  in  VVilliainstown  next  March.  This 
announcement,  alonj;  with  a  schedule  of 
debates  set  for  the  coniinj;  season,  came  as 
an  aftermath  of  the  lirst  meeting  of  the 
entire  club  with  its  new  coach,  Robert  S. 
Young,  formerl>'  of  Harvard. 

Since  the  Williams  debaters  won  the 
Intercollegiate  Tournanient  last  year,  they 
will  act  as  hosts  to  the  contesting  teams 
this  year.  At  present,  eighteen  teams  are 
expected  to  accept  the  invitation. 

As  the  result  of  tryouts  held  last  Thurs- 
day afternoon,  Jay  L.  Nierenberg  '42, 
president  of  the  Adelphic  Union,  and 
Thomas  S.  Walsh  '44  will  go  to  Harvard 
for  a  radio  forum  on  the  subject  of  govern- 
ment ownership  and  operation  of  the 
telephone  and  telegraph  systems.  This 
is  the  first  engagement  of  a  schedule  that 
will  include  Yale,  Princeton,  Vassar,  Mt. 
Holyolce,  Union,  Middlebury,  Trinity,  and 
Harvard  Colleges,  as  well  as  several  other 
single  debates  still  indefniite. 

Over  Wesleyan  weekend,  a  team  of  four 
sophomores  accompanied  by  Mr.  Young 
will  go  to  Hanover  to  participate  in  the 
Dartmouth  Sophomore  warm-ups.  They 
will  discuss  the  large  debating  topic  of  the 
year,  government  regulation  of  labor 
unions.  Tryouts  for  this  trip  will  be  held 
next  Thursday  afternoon  in  Griffin  Hall. 

At  the  same  time  there  will  be  open 
tryouts  for  any  students  interested  in  de- 
bating not  already  members  of  the  Union. 
The  freshmen,  however,  will  not  be  tested 
until  after  Thanksgiving  in  accordance 
with  an  extra-curricular  rule.  After  that 
time,  they  will  be  under  the  guidance  of 
Mr.  Young  who  will  also  be  in  charge  of 
Freshman  Public  .Speaking. 


Hunt  Defeats  Lamed 
In  Rockwood  Tourney 

Runner-up  in   1940,  Hunt 
Takes  Cup,  6-2,  6-3,  6-3 


.Sophomore  tennis  star  Tod  Hunt,  play- 
ing a  steady,  aggressive  game  which  kept 
his  opponent  away  from  the  net,  defeated 
Jack  Larned  yesterday  afternoon,  6-2,  6-3, 
6-3,  in  the  linals  of  the  Rockwood  Cup 
Tournament  fon  the  Williams  College 
championship. 

Hunt,  runner-up  last  year  and  seeded 
number  one,  played  his  best  match  of  the 
tourne\'  as  he  held  the  more  experienced 
varsity  captain  to  two  games  in  the  hrst 
set  and  three  in  the  second  and  third. 
Hunt  displayed  a  variety  of  drives,  over- 
hand smashes  and  lob  shots  which  kept 
Larned  deep  in  the  court  throughout  the 
entire  match. 

Hunt,  who  had  previously  taken  a  lirst 
round  bye,  trounced  Tom  Hoover,  6-1,  6-1, 
defeated  classmate  George  Stanley  6-1, 
6-4,  and  eliminated  Art  Holt,  6-3,  6-2,  in 
the  succeeding  brackets.  Hunt  rolled  over 
Bob  Hendrie,  6-2,  8-6,  but  found  difficulty 
in  taking  freshman  Dick  Hole,  number  six 
in  the  draw,  2-6,  6-0,  6-2. 

Larned,  second-seeded  entrant,  had 
advanced  into  the  final  rounds  by  virtue 
of  a  6-1,  6-1  triumph  over  Johnnie  Finken- 
staedt,  a  default  by  Ed  Engle,  a  6-0,  6-0 
whitewash  over  Wolcott  Humphrey,  and  a 
6-3,  6-2  win  over  Stu  Wilson  in  the  fourth 
round.  Freshman  Bod  Edwards  extended 
him  to  three  sets,  but  lost,  4-6,  6-4,  6-3,  and 
Larned  went  on  to  top  Dude  Hemphill  in 
the  semi-linals,  6-2,  9-7. 


Wms.  Funny  Mag  Out; 
Chock   Full  of  Laffs 

Still  ostensibly  alive,  the  funny  Purple 
Cow  hit  local  newsstands  last  weekend  with 
what  the  editors  laffingly  described  to  a 
Record  interviewer  as  "the  hottest 
damn  group  of  jokes  we've  seen  yet, 
wow!" 

Riddled  with  academic  injuries,  the 
local  funsheet  has  staggeied  to  press  at 
last  with  a  "cover"  by  Lon  Hill,  "cartoons" 
by  Hill,  Jim  Crawford,  and  Sam  Hunter, 
and  "literary  stuff"  by  Charlie  Shea  and 
Bill  Morrissey,  as  well  as  "others". 

With  editor-in-chief  Ely  "on  probation" 
and  businessboardmen  Ward  and  Dickin- 
son "no  longer  in  college,"  the  "Cow"  will 
send  up  a  desperate  shout  for  freshman 
"talent"  after  first  warnings  are  issued. 


PARAGRAPHS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Sanford  B.  Head,  Jr.  '42,  who  will  be 
inducted  into  the  arm>'  soon,  resigned  last 
week  as  president  of  Cap  &  Bells.  Paul 
Murray  '42,  vice  president,  will  succeed 
Head  as  leader  of  the  society  now  pro- 
ducing Much  Ado  About  Nothing. 


Fulfilling  a  bet,  J.  C.  Laflin,  Princeton's 
premier  Dodger  rooter,  had  to  cat  his'jhat 
because  the   Yankee's  came  out  on  top. 

Having  coated  the  straw  fedora 
with  butter  and  Cheddar  cheese  he 
munched  it  down  to  the  last  sliver.  "It 
doesn't  swallow  \'ery  well"  was  his  only 
comment. 


A  plea  for  human  guinea  pigs  to  be 

used  as  experimental  subjects  for  the 
psychology  department  at  Tufts  was 
issued  by  the  adminstration  of  that  college 
last  week.  Only  requirement  was  that 
the  students  applying  for  this  forty  cents 
an  hour  job  have  normal  eye  sight. 


Try  a  couple  of  packs.  We  feel  sure 
you'll  be  coming  back  for  more . . .  because 
Chesterfield's  right  combination  of  the 
world's  leading  cigarette  tobaccos  makes 
them  so  much  Mlder,  Cooler  and  Seffer- 
Tasting  that  more  smokers  are  turning  to 
them  every  day. 

Ybs,  the  approval  of  smokers  is  the  big  thing  that's 
pushing  Chesterfield  ahead  all  over  the  country.

Phi  Delta  Thota  captured  the  Uli- 
IjjIioiu'  vote  of  till-  liflh  WMS  Intcr-l'VaU'i- 
lily  Sinninj!  Contest  yesterday  when  they 
[defeated  Kappa  Alpha.  Ne.vt  week's 
Jjiroyrani  will  feature  vocal  gymnastics  by 
friii  Gamma  Delta  and  Phi  Sigma  Kappa. 


Charlie  Heuer  '4S  and  Bob  Mckee 

\^^  swept  into  the  fnial  round  of  the  Col- 
ej;e   Golf   Championship,  Wednesday   on 
[the  Taconic  Course  as  a  result   of  their 
victories  over  Pete  Hussey  '42,  golf  cap- 
pain,   and    Pete    Davis    '43.     Heuer   con- 
linered    Hussey,    last    year's   champ,    by 
iking  a  lifty  fool  approach  shot  on  the 
sixteenth  hole  to  give  him  a  .3-2  margin. 
Mckee  and  Davis  were  all  even  at  the  end 
t)f  eighteen  holes,  but  the  sophomore  went 
bn   to  capture  the  next   one  to  win   the 
natch.     The  two  victors  will  meet  Sunday 
the  championship. 


In  a  warning  to  Harvard  undergraduates 

William  liinghani,  president  of  that  uni- 

ersity's  athletic  association,  staled  that 

professional    pickpockets    st.irted    the 

toal  post  light  after  the  Dartmouth  game 

pit  that  they  could  lilcli  the  wallets  and 

iitches    of    students    more    easily.     He 

j-eporled    that    .Saturda\'s  sleiglrt-of-hand 

laul  gave  further  evidence  of  this  fact. 


Speaking  at  |)arlnH>ulh  this  week,  Mrs. 
Eleanor  Roosevelt  slated  that  she  be- 
lieved a  plain  liberal  arts  college  ccmrse 
Ihould  not  give  a  student  exemption  from 
Ihe  draft.  She  also  voiced  her  disapproval 
\{  sludenl.s'  delilierately  avoiding  service 
taking  a  few  specialized  courses,  saying, 
hf  local  draft  boards  exempt  coUi'ge  men 
lliat  way,  it  creates  a  privileged  class." 

Harvard's  student  council  has  formed 
I  sub-committee  to  investigate  all  firms  on 
llarvard  S(|uare  accused  (if  "unfair  busi- 
Bess  practices".  The  comniitt<'e  will  hear 
lomplnints  as  registered  by  students  and 
lollow-up  with  an  investigation.  The 
loercive  means  of  opening  the  books  of  the 
liiore  stuliborn  merchants  accused  of 
charging  high  prices  will  probably  be  a 
printed  pamphlet  containing  the  charges. 


The  Fraternity  Series 

Below,  ill  udjoiniiiK  coluimi.s,  Tiik  Riocoitu  reviews  the  purposes, 
criticisms,  and  imipo.sals  which  its  scries  of  articles  onWilliains  fraternities 
have  presented  to  the  cuinpus  since  October  6. 

Th?  fraternity  .scies  has  been  attiicked  From  many  undergraduate 
quarters  as  "whiney,"  "destructive,"  unwarranted,  absolutely  u.seless, 
and  as  "a  stupid  crusade  again.st  a  non-existent  evil."  There  have  been 
tmdcrgraduate  charges  that  the  coUcf^e  newspaper  has  no  right  to  discuss 
".such  a  traditional,  hallowed,  iier.sonal  matter  as  fraternities."  There 
have  been  worried  queries  ahout  the  advisihility  of  Tiii':  Recokd's  "at- 
tacking the  very  social  structure  of  Williams  itself." 

Read  the  l)rief  .summary  of  the  fraternity  series  below.  Reconsider 
the  articles'  ])urposes  and  the  articles'  messages.  Then,  if  you  find  val- 
idity or  mis-statement  or  nonsense,  if  you  find  constructive  sugge-stions 
which  your  fraternity  may  consider  adopting  or  if  you  find  i<leas  or  pro- 
grams which  your  fraternity  has  already  found  useless,  write  The  Rfx'oud 
so  the  views  of  yourself  or  your  fraternity  may  be  represented  through  the 
medium  of  the  college  ])aper. 

The  fraternity  series  consider  sul)jects  of  vital  concern  to  every 
Williams  undergraduate.  One  group's  viewpoint  has  been  expressed  in 
these  colunms  for  the  past  three  weeks.  Tiik  RECoitn  needs  the  opinions 
of  all  campus  groujjs  on  these  proljlems. 

Are  Williams  men  basically  uninterested  in  scholar.shii)?  Are  the 
fraternity  scholar.shij)  programs  "pious  sops"  to  please  alumni?  Do  the 
fraternities  owe  the  college  any  .service  other  than  a  social  one?  Is  Hell 
Week  adequate  jircparation  for  fraternity  membership?  Should  scholar- 
.ship  mean  anything  to  rushing  committees,  to  fraternity  members? 

These  are  cpicstions  that  deserve  more  than  imdergraduate  scorn. 
They  deserve  in  some  cases  action,  in  all  cases  serious  thought.  They 
deserve  more  than  the  one  letter  on  the  subject  which  The  Record  has 
received  since  the  scries  began.  Beginning  in  the  next  issue.  The  Recokd 
will  print  every  letter  it  receives  on  this  subject. 


Letters  to  Editors 


'I'd  llielidilor  o/Tiik  Kecdim): 

In  response  to  your  retjuest  for  a  sum- 
mar.\-  of  the  views  we  expressed  on  Mon- 
day night's  program  over  WMS,  we  pre- 
sent here  our  reasons  for  disagreeing  with 
you  on  the  role  fraternities  shouhl  play,  in 
a  strictly  educational  sense,  at  Williams. 

1.  We  do  not  feel  that  fraternities  are 
called  upon  to  justify  themselves  in  a 
.strictly  educational  sense.  By  this,  we 
mean  that  you  must  first  prove  thai  fra- 
ternities are  acting  as  a  drag  on  the  Wil- 
liams education,  th<'reby  counteracting 
the  valuable  contributions  they  make,  both 
socially  and  in  providing  badly-needed 
i-ating  and  living  facililii's,  beff)re  you  can 
condemn  them  for  not  justifying  their 
privileged  position.  T.  J.  Wood,  Director 
of  Admissions,  is  reported  in  the  latest 
Rkcohi)  to  have  said  that  fraternities  do 
n(Jt  act  as  a  drag,  while  you  have  not  even 
made  the  charge,  which  must  be  the  basis 
of  your  position. 

Sops  to  Alumni 

2.  In  our  opinion,  fraternity  programs 
to  raise  scholarship  constitute  pious  sops 
to  alumni.  Our  experience  confirms  our 
belief  that,  except  in  isolated  cases,  scho- 
larship programs  in  general  do  no  good  and 
can  be  harmful.  Sitting  a  freshman  down 
in  front  of  a  pile  of  books  and,  in  effect, 
standing  over  him  with  a  club,  will  not 
make  him  study  any  harder,  if  he  doesn't

PURPOSES 


C.  Douglass  Buck,  Jr.  '45  was  named 
Jo  the  position  of  first  tenor  in  the  glee 
llub  octet  this  week  to  take  the  place  of 
kllcn  F.  Maulsby  '44. 


Having  received  full  permission  from  all 
[iterested  college  authorities,  Ted  Metz- 
er  and  Bob  Miller  '44  will  open  a  Mexi- 
^n  Shop  devoted  exclusively  to  the  sale  of 
ptin-American  crafts  around  November 
It  was  announced  that  the  shop  would 
t)en  in  the  basement  of  the  Williams  Shop, 
the  home  of  the  Williams  Student 
lookstorc.

"The  fraternities  of  Williams  College, 
in  spite  of  their  shortcomings,  are  worth 
.saving  and  improving  for  the  values  they 
ilo  teach,  and  lor  the  positive  force  ilie> 
can  be." 

— Editorial,  Oclnber  6 

"It  is  because  Williams  fraternities  have 
failed  miserably  in  a  task  that  is  within 
their  ability  —  getting  the  best  out  of 
Williams  —  that  the  story  on  page  one  has 
been  written." 

— Edilorial.  October  6 

"  TuK  RKcoiin'.s  purpose  in  printing  the 
fraternity  series  is  not  to  preach  or  attack. 
Its  purpose  is  simply  to  present  to  the 
un<lergra(luate  body  the  best  available 
information  on  possible  methods  of  making 
fraternit\-  life  more  responsive  to  the 
educational  i5Urpose  of  the  college,  and 
more  valuable  to  every  man  who  joins  a 
fraternity." 

— Edilorial,  October  13 

"Last  week  TuK  Recdrh  reported  the 
programs  now  used  by  two  fraternities  to 
prepare  their  freshmen  for  fraternity 
membership.  The  purpose  of  that  story 
was  to  suggest  that  Williams  fraternities 
could  improve  their  Hell  Week  by  the 
addition  of  a  \ear-long  freshman  pro- 
gram." — Edilorutl,  October  13

Official  'Hamp  Guardian  of  Virtue  Reveals 
Low  Down  on  What  Goes  on  After  Dark 

When  the  Saturday  night  tralTic  jam   before   the  12:00  p.  in.  dead  line  is  over, 

Ihen    un-understanding    housemothers  have  shoved  romcos    out    the    door,    and 

Jhen  the  last  college  lover  has  gunned  his  way  out  of  the  new  Quadrangle  at  Smith, 

Jiat's  when  Sam  of  Northampton's  police  force  officially  inspects  the  edifice  and   all 

|s  surrounding  shrubbery  to  make  sure  that  750  bits  of  pulchritude  are  safe  from 

ny  evil  minded  males  who  might  be  lurking  in  the  bushes. 

It  isn't  that  Sam  himself  was  a  dis- 

ppointment  in  this  view  of  Smith  after 

[lidnight       The   fact    is    that    the    lack 

action  after  dark  is  a  result  of  the 

hstitution  itself.    Officer  Sam  hasn't  even 

Ben  a  girl  sneak  in  a  room  at  night.     He 

■aims  the  housemothers  keep  too  close  a 

peck.     Never  to  his  knowledge  has  a  band 

drunks  even  attempted  to  break  into 

hat  fortress  of  beauty,  nor  has  Sam  ever 

Jitnessed  an  elopement  or  seen   a  stu- 

Entess  sneak  down  a  rope.     The  fact  is 

hat  there  are  no  ropes  in  the  unromantic 

iiildings.    There  are   fire  escapes,   yes, 

ut  the  doors  leading  to  them  set  off  an 

Utomatic    alarm    upon    being    opened. 

When  questioned  about  having  trouble 

|ith  the  more  raucous  romeos  Sam  said, 

even  odt  of  eight  of  the  girls  go  for  a 


guy  with  a  big  car,  but  when  he  drives 
across  the  Quad  lawn  or  runs  over  the 
shrubbery  it's  a  different  story."  Since 
the  girls  are  responsible  for  whatever  their 
dates  do,  things  stay  pretty  much  in  line. 
If  the  situation  ever  gets  out  of  hand  Sam 
simply  bars  all  cars  from  the  Quad  for  a 
few  nights. 

Smith's  own  patrolman  hasn't  taken  a 
boy  to  the  city  jail  yet.  Instead  he  puts 
them  into  his  car  and  heads  for  Hamp 
under  the  pretenses  of  driving  to  the 
hoosegow.  This  usually  snaps  the  offen- 
der "out  of  it".  After  this  he  deposits  the 
boy  at  a  hotel  whose  management  is 
always  free  to  phone  Sam  if  it  doesn't 
appreciate  the  "forced  bid".  They've 
never  phoned  back  yet. 

(See  'HAMP  GUARDIAN  page  3) 


CRITICISMS 

"There  is  a  wide  difference  in  attitude 
between  the  national  president  of  one  of 
Williams'  fraternities  who  reported  to 
Thr  :;».i>,r,D  v.ill,  ..utir.fr.jlicn  thir,  sum 
nicr  that  the  undergraduate  members  of 
liis  bouse  'work  their  heads  off  to  see  that 
the  boss  have  respectable  marks'  —  there 
is  a  wide  difference  between  that  attitude 
and  the  attitude  of  this  college  which 
expects,  and  rightfully,  something  better 
than  respectability  in  scholarship." 

— Editorial,  October  6 

"There  are  many  who  will  argue  that 
the  fraternities'  purpose  is  purely  social. 
If  this  is  true  —  and  we  hope  that  it  is  not 
—  then  it  is  paradoxical  that  organizations 
which  act  as  a  drag  on  education  should 
retain  a  position  of  privilege  in  an  insti- 
tution which  has  as  its  avowed  purpose 
the  giving  of  the  best  possible  education." 
—Quoted  from  William  11.  Curliss 
'40,  Oclolier  6 

"Williams  fraternity  men  have  always 
fell  that  it  is  a  privilege  to  be  a  fraternity 
man.  Thej'  have  always  felt  that  fresh- 
men should  realize  initiation  night  means 
nmch  more  than  a  long-awaited  jaunt  to 
the  goat  room.... It  is  impossible  to  be- 
lieve that.  .  threats  of  branding,  twenty- 
mile  hikes  on  wintry  nights,  parading  w'ith 
guns  before  the  gym .  .  .  have  ever  con- 
vinced a  single  freshman  that  he  was  about 
to  share  in  a  great  privilege." 

— Editorial,  Octolier  10 

"On  the  average,  over  a  period  of  years, 
I  don't  think  the  fraternity  authorities 
have  displayed  much  interest  in  the  prob- 
lem of  education." 

—Paul  Birdsall,  Oclolter  17 

"A  Barrel  stave  and  four  days  cannot 
possibly  teach  a  freshman  the  manj'  things 
he  could  learn  from  constant  exposure  to 
the  right  atmosphere,"  according  to  Pro- 
fessor John  H.  Roberts,  who  added  that 
the  year-long  freshman  progrants  which 
several  houses  have  now  added  to  their 
Hell  Week  will  help  provide  "the  right 
atmosphere." 

—Page  l,Octoi)er  17 

"Williams  fraternities  don't  care  much 
about  a  man's  scholastic  interest  and 
ability  to  do  the  job  the  college  has  set 
before  him  until  after  he  has  been  pledged 
....Over  half  of  Williams  fraternities, 
by  disregarding  scholarship  in  pledging, 
give  sanction  to  the  notion  that  scholastic 
interest  and  success  are  inimical  to  frater- 
nity life  or  to  a  full  college  career.  In- 
tended or  not,  the  fraternity  that  refuses 
to  weigh  scholarship  is  at  the  same  time 
disregarding  a  basic  aim  of  this  college." 
—Editorial,  October  20 


PROPOSALS 

"This  story  makes  a  constructive  pro- 
posal based  on  the  experiences  of  Sigma 
Phi  and  Phi  Gamma  Delta,  that  Williams 
fiatc'rnifie::  adopt  an  ir.itiation  program 
C(jn.sciously  designed  to  prepare  freshmen 
for  fraternity  mendiership."  A  construc- 
tive fre.shman  program,  beginning  in  .Sep- 
tember and  culminating  in  Hell  Week,  will 
Ijetter  prepare  the  pledges  tlian  Hell  Week 
alone. 

— Edilorial,  October  10 

.  "Will  Williams  fraternity  men  be  willing 
to  exchange  ideas  and  programs  designed 
to  improve  and  strengthen  all  houses  here? 
V\'ill  Williams  fraternities  be  willing  to 
prove  —  by  conscientiously  living  up  to 
the  scholastic  programs  they  have  volun- 
tarily created  for  their  pledges  and  them- 
selves —  that  they  want  to  help  the  college

Coach  Charley  Caldwell's  football  eleven 
will  be  out  to  place  on<'  more  star  on  its 
already  shining  football  escutcheon  to- 
morrow afternoon  when  it  s(|uares  off 
against  a  mighty  Tufls  team  in  the  Oval 
at  Meilford.  Medfordile  and  veteran  end 
Al  Hearne  will  captain  ihe  Purple  in  his 
own  back\anl. 

With  every  member  of  his  lliirt\-man 
squad  in  to|)  physical  condition.  Caldwell 
led  Williams  down  to  Andover  this  morn- 
ing when'  it  will  spend  the  nighl  and  have 
a  final  workout  in  the  Phillips  Academy 
cage  before  game  time.  Last  C(j|leg<'  foot- 
ball team  y)ut  to  work  in  the  Anclo\er  cage 
was  lioston  Colli'ije  just  before  departing 
for  the  Cotton  Howl. 

Jumbos  Tough  To  Trip 

If  Caldwell's  eleven  is  to  trip  the  Jum- 
bos toiiKirrow,  its  work  is  cut  out  for  it. 
Coach  Lew  Manly  has  a  lot  of  fine  football 
players  on  hand,  both  regulars  and  re- 
serves. In  reserve  end,  Alan  Sam|ison, 
(scm  of  Arthur  .Sampson  of  Ihe  Moston 
Herald),  has  a  particularl>-  fine  pass- 
catching  end.  who  scoied  the  only  Tufts 
touchdown  in  last  week's  28-6  defeat  by 
.'Jrown.  Prior  to  their  loss  to  Brown,  the 
Jumbos  had  knocked  Bowdoin,  Middle- 
bury  and  Bates  on  successive  Satiu-il.iys. 

Co-captains  Hob  Rutter  and  .'KrI  Harri- 
son are  two  backs,  around  whom  Manly 
centers  nmch  of  his  attack.  Harrison  is  a 
fine  passer  while  Kulter  calls  signals  and 
both  kicks  and  runs.  It  was  Harrison  who 
hurleil  the  40-yard  aerial  lo  .Sampson 
against  Ihe  Bruins.

supplied  by  the  National  Youth  Admin- 
istration, it  was  revealed  this  week  by 
Albert  \'.  Osterhout,  Executive  Secretary 
of  the  Student  Aid  Committee  and 
administrator  of  the  project. 

Many  of  the  undergraduates  are  acting 
as  research  assistants  to  faculty  members, 
while  others  are  correcting  examination 
papers,  doing  stenographical  work,  such 
as  filing  and  typing,  and  helping  out  on 
miscellaneous  work.  One  NYA  worker 
is  employed  in  the  athletic  stock  room, 
while  another  operates  the  recorder  in  the 
Adams  Memorial  Theatre  which  tests 
voices  for  acting. 

Fifteen  of  the  faculty  and  administrative 
departments  are  receiving  NYA  assistance 
of  one  kind  or  another.  Working  with 
these  are  seven  seniors,  five  juniors,  five 
sophomores,  and  seven  freshmen,  with 
more  to  be  added  soon. 

Under  the  rules  which  govern  the 
inonthly  NYA  grants,  the  college  can 
employ  only  naturalized  citizens  from 
families  of  limited  income.  No  student 
may  be  employed  on  work  that  has  previ- 
ously been  paid  for  out  of  college  funds, 
and  no  student  may  receive  more  than  $20 
per  month.

Snively  Shifts  Line-up 
For  Clash  With  Choate 

Yearling     Harriers     Open 
Against      Mt.      Hermon 


Slowed  down  by  injuries,  the  yearling 
gridmen  were  shot  through  a  lasl  minute 
scrimmage  \esterda\',  following  a  thorough 
reshuffling  of  the  team  by  Coach  Whoops 
Snively  in  preparation  for  tomorrow's 
clash  with   Choate  at  Wallingford,  Conn. 

With  the  line-up  slill  unsettled  due  to 
the  |)ossible  availability  of  some  men  on 
the  sick  list,  Snively  Ihtnighl  thai  Charlie 
Wheeler  and  Andy  Knox  would  probably 
start  at  thi'  flanks,  wilh  former  end  Gordie 
Johndroe  and  Carl  Gruber  at  the  tackle 
posts,  Kred  Wardwell  and  Art  X'orys, 
switched  from  tackle,  filling  the  guard

OH,  YOU  MILITANT  GODLY! 

'J'o  the  Eilitors  of  the  Amherst  Student 
Dear  Sirs: 

We  noticed  with  interest  an  editorial  in  your  Octoher  16  issue. 
Remember?  It  took  the  form  of  a  letter  to  the  editors  of  Time,  attacking 
that  magazine  for  claiming  that  "American  college  students  have  piled  on 
the  interventionist  toboggan,"  as  you  put  it.  You  refute  the  Tihic 
assertion  by  .screaming  that  students  don't  want  war,  that  polls  and  editor- 
ials don't  prove  anything,  and  that  even  if  American  undergraduates  do 
give  the  interventionist  thesis  their  O.K.,    they  don't  really  mean  it. 

Y''ou  say  that  although  students  will  "agree"  with  an  opinion,  "a 
distinction  must  be  drawn  between  acquiescence,  the  jiassive  form  of 
oi)inion,  and  conviction,  which  alone  can  lead  to  willing  action."  In 
other  words,  America  may  go  to  war,  but  her  best  (or  at  least  most 
fortunate)  youth  won't  really  have  the  heart  to  back  her  up.     O.K. 

You  elaborate  on  this  to  the  effect  that  "American  college  .students 
might  go  to  war  for  the  -strange  alliance  of  England  and  Russia.  But 
they  must  not  be  expected  to  think  themselves  in  a  crusade  when  they 
fight  shoulder  with  the  League  of  the  JNIilitant  Goilless.  They  must  not 
be  expe  cted  to  derive  inspiration  from  the  delusive  leadership  of  our 
President . . .  nor  from  the  oracular  talk  of  small  and  ambitions  men  eKse- 
where.  Nor  must  they  be  expected  to  go  into  lialtles  with  a  hero  yell  of 
"Save  our  foreign  markets!" 

You  don't  mind  if  we  carry  the  quotation  a  little  bit  farther,  do  you? 
We  don't  want  to  make  you  dig  in  your  files.  Anyway,  you  conclude 
as  follows:  "Editorials  and  polls.  Time,  are  no  measures  of  real  .sentiment. 
No  doulit  we  shall  consent  to  go  to  war,  if  only  to  dodge  the  white  feather. 
But  we  will  have  little  faith  in  it,  and  faith  is  what  makes  resolute  and 
ruthless  soldiers." 

Now  just  a  minute.  We,  at  Williams,  think  that  America  .should  go  to 
war.  Wo  have  thought  so  for  almost  a  year.  You  say  polls  mean  noth- 
ing, so  we  won't  cite  you  any  of  the  jiolls  which  prove  that  we  think  this 
way;  but  if  you  had  been  up  here  last  Spring,  you  would  have  been  forced 
to  admit  that  here,  at  least,  was  a  pa.ssionate  majority  belief  in  our  im- 
perative duty  to  battle  Ilitleri.sni.  We  siill  have  this  passionate  belief, 
though  a  recent  poll  indicates  that  our  faith  wanes  as  America's  cowardly 
indeci.sion  continues.  Williams,  of  cour.se,  is  too  good  to  lie  typical. 
Right? 

We  don't  believe  in  fighting  for  "the  Militant  Godless,"  or  for  Eng- 
land either.  Some  of  us  believe  that  we  must  fight  simply  to  save  our 
skins.  Some,  we  hojie  mo.st  of  us,  believe  that  we  must  fight  because  our 
.sy.stem  and  Hitler's  cannot  both  live,  because  we  have  a  ".sacred  duty" 
(a  phrase  you  no  doubt  loathe)  to  fight  in  defense  of  the  concept  we  live 
by.  We  grant  th<it  our  .system  is  full  of  flaws;  but  it  is  at  least  a  .system 
which  admits  of  tolerance  and  decency  and,  in  the  long  run,  of  the  right 
of  peaceful  change.     You  won't  find  anything  like  that  in  Ilitlerism. 

Just  one  more  thing.  You  say  that  even  if  America  does  go  to  war, 
American  college  men  won't  put  much  faith  behind  the  struggle,  will  offer 
a  "token  battle"  in  other  words.  Consider,  friend.  This  means  that  if 
America  goes  to  war  you  and  the  rest  of  us  won't  .sec  that  we  have  a  .stake 
in  the  battle's  outcome.  But  you  must  realize  that  if  we  go  to  war,  we 
must  win  or  lose.  There  is  no  other  alternative.  If  we  lose,  we  and  our 
way  of  life  peri.sh. 

No,  Student.  If  we  do  go  to  war,  you  as  well  as  we  must  put  all  wc 
have  and  are  into  the  fight.  Wc  mu.st  fight  with  jiassionate  conviction, 
with  passionate  concern  for  our  own  survival.  If  we  fight  with  this 
passion,  and  win,  we  win  the  earth  and  immortality.  If  we  fight  with  no 
real  conviction,  we  lose.  If  you  are  right  in  saying  that  we  will  pqt  no 
faith  behind  the  struggle,  then  we  and  you  are  lost. 

Think  it  over,  Student,  before  you  take  your  next  crack  at  the  Militant 
Ungodly  The  Militant  Ungodly  are  at  least  fighting,  fighting  with 
passionate  conviction,  and  whether  they  want  to  or  not  they  are  fighting 
our  battle.  Are  we  too  faithless  to  fight,  with  as  much  conviction  as  the 
Militant  Ungodly,  for  the  way  of  life  we  love? 

Yours  with  militant  godliness.

expect  aiiythiiij;  cimslruelive.  I'he  fact 
is  ituit  atiiKisphere  depends  upen  the  alti- 
tudes of  the  individual  (i-aleinity  ineniliers,

4.  ll  is  po.ssible  to  ai'nue  that,  if  (rater- 
nilies  would  consider  scholastic  ability  in 
choosini;  their  freshmen,  a  blotter  study 
atmosphere  might  be  created.  That  is 
probably  Irue.  The  difficulty  is  that  fra- 
ternities, being  neither  prayer  meetings 
nor  missionary  societies,  do  not  work  that 
way.  In  general,  a  house  picks  its  men  lo 
lit  in  with  the  rest  of  the  men  in  the  house. 
If  the  house  as  a  whole  is  strongly  iiileresl- 
ed  in  the  scholastic  side  of  college,  il  will 
naturally  investigate  the  scholastic  back- 
giiiimil  of  the  freshmen,  not  because  such 
an  investigation  has  intrinsic  [iierit,  bul 
because  it  wants  men  who  will  lit  in.  II 
the  house  as  a  whole  is  less  interested  in  ihi' 
.scholastic  side  of  college,  il  will  pay  little 
or  no  attention  to  scholastic  background 
unless  driven  to  it  by  linancial  coiisidei- 
ations.  And,  as  we  have  already  .shown, 
the  attitude  of  ahouse  depends  on  the 
attitudes  of  its  members,  which  means 
the  attitudes  of  the  men  ccjming  to  Wil- 
liams. 

Fraternities  Not  Perfect 

We  feel  ihat  fraternities  are  far  from 
being  a  perfect  institution.  We  also  feel 
that  The  Recohd  Williams  College,  the 
.State  of  Massachusetts,  and  the  I'niled 
.States  of  America  are  far  from  being  per- 
fect institutions.  They  are  human  insti- 
tutions and,  as  such,  should  be  judged  in 
the  light  of  human  failings  and  .short- 
comings. That  does  not  mean  that  we 
shouldn't  do  what  we  can  to  improve  them. 
Kul  improving  them  doesn't  mean  pursu- 
ing prolitles,s  lines  of  intiuirv',  as  we  believe 
you  are  doing  in  this  in.slance.  In  our 
opinion,  you  are  barking  rather  loudly  up 
what  is  deliniteh'  the  wrong  tree. 

We  would  like  to  add  that  the  opinions 
presented  here  are  our  own  and  do  not 
necessarily  represent  those  of  the  membeis 
of  our  fraternities.

want  to  study,  than  if  he  were  at  the

ability is  that  it  will  merely  confirm  him 
in  his  dislike  of  studying.  Programs  of 
individual  aid  by  upperclassmen  to  fresh- 
men fall  down  because  the  upperclassmen 
lack  the  necessary  qualifications.  In  the 
first  place,  it  takes  some  time  to  render 
eifective  aid,  and  the  average  junior  or 
senior  either  will  not  or  cannot  spare  the 
time.    Secondly,  good  grades  In  a  subject 


do  not  qualify  a  man  to  give  aid  in  that

lacks  the  teaching  gift  to  work  irreparable 
harm  in  the  belief  that  he  is  helping  an

"Leas  Party  and  More  Study" 
i.  The  creation  of  a  fraternity  atmos- 
phere conducive  to  study  has  considerable 
merit.  There  is  no  question  about  the 
desirability  of  cutting  down  on  the  so- 
called  party  atmosphere.  But  the  head  of 
a  house  cannot  simply  say,  "All  right, 
fellows.     Less  party  and  more  study,"  and 


1.  In  the  editorials  of  October  b  and 
20,  Messrs.  Whidden  and  Tully  will  find 
direct  references  to  Williams  fraternities 
as  a  "drag"  on  the  educational  process. 
If  they  will  read  all  editorials  on  the  fra- 
ternity subject  carefully,  they  will  find  out 
w'hy  TiiK  Recoud  considers  Williams 
fraternities  a  drag. 

2.  Fraternity  scholarship  programs 
need  not  aim  otdy  at  raising  scholarship. 
In  one  house  that  uses  a  scholarship  pm- 
gram  there  are  two  freshmen,  right  now, 
who  are  gelling  help  from  upperclassmen 
because  they  want  it;  these  are  not  isolated 
cases,  l)ecause  the  s\'slem  in  (|uestion  is 
aimed  at  just  that  kind  of  help.  Messrs. 
Whidden  and  Tully  make  the  mistake  of 
concluding,  from  instances  in  which  scho- 
larship programs  have  failed,  that  those' 
programs  in  spite  of  the  right  kind  of  fra- 
ternity atmosphere  could  not  work. 

.^.  We  cannot  change  the  type  —  but 
that  is  no  excuse  for  fraternity  leaders,  like 
Messrs.  Whidden  and  Tully,  to  ignore  a 
problem  they  admit  exists,  or  lo  fail  lo 
exert  all  their  elTorts  to  get  the  kind  of 
atmosphere  they  really  want. 

4.  And  as  anyone  would  have  a  good 
reason  for  saying,  "If  the  hou.se  as  a  whole 
is  less  interested  in  the  scholastic  side  of 
college,"  then  this  is  definite  evidence  of  a 
fraternity  dragging  cm  the  college.  As 
for  profitless  lines  of  inquiry,  on  reieading 
the  purposes,  criticisms,  and  propo.sals  of 
these  articles  as  they  appear  on  the  front 
page  of  tonight's  paper,  we  are  convinced 
that  there  is  profit  there  for  anyone  who 
wants  to  do  something  about  improving 
Williams  fraternities.

On  many  of  the  defense  projects  encountered  by  the  Bell 
System,  the  work  sheets  —  showing  telephone  facilities 
needed  and  lime  allowed  —  would  make  a  good,  cuuservative 
engineer's  hair  stand  on  end. 

For  examjde,  take  the  Navy's  huge  new  air  base  near 
Corpus  Chrisli,  Texas,  wliieli  covers  14.,'>00  acres  includes  29 
separate  flying  fields  and  481  Iniildings.  Closely  connected 
with  the  base  are  Defense  Housing  projects  for  1700  families. 

Imagine  the  complex  prohlems  involved  in  planning  tele- 
phone facilities  for  this  new  "city"  where  formerly  there 
were  sand  dunes —  in  ohlaltiing  and  installing  miles  and  miles 
of  wire  and  cable,  switchboards,  telephones  by  the  thousand. 

But  telephone  engineers  and  construction  men  took  hold 
— proceeded  to  shatter  records— completed  iht-ir  huge  task 
in  seemingly  impossible  time.  For  men  with  the  "will  to

tpiered  comitries,  in  fact  there  were  nian>' 
active  sympathizers  to  the  (lerman  cause 
on  the  faculty  at  that  time,  "an  uidieaid-of 
thing  ill  I'Ml."  "We  cannot  really  com- 
pare wliere  we  are  now  with  the  situation 
before  April  I'M?  because  at  that  time  the 
college  and  students  had  not  been  called 
on  to  <lo  anything,"  stated  I'rof.  Smith. 

"Il()we\'er,  just  as  soon  as  war  was  de- 
clared, things  began  to  happen,"  stated 
Prof.  Smith  iji  outlining  the  situation  here 
(luring  the  conflict.  The  country  tried  to 
do  three  things:  ship  materials  to  lingland 
and  France,  build  as  many  ships  as 
possible,  iuid  organize  a  large  expeditionary 
force.  The  colleges  were  used  primarily 
as  reservoirs  for  officers  for  this  expedition- 
ary force. 

Students  Dig  Trenches 

"In  the  autunni  of  1918,  the  college 
was  made  over  into  a  Student  Olhcer's 
Training  Camp,"  states  Mr.  Smith,  "the 
students  dug  trenches,  marched  from  one 
class  to  another,  were  taught  map-read- 
ing, surveying,  military  science,  and 
other  appropriate  courses.  However," 
dcclare<l  Prof.  Smith,  "this  was  merely 
superficial  instructioEi,  the  most  im|)ortant 
thiiin  was  the  physical  drill  and  orientation 
to  army  routine." 

To  illustrate  the  extent  to  which  the 
college  was  turned  over  to  the  S.A.T.C. 
the  fact  remains  that  only  31  students 
were  enrolled  in  the  college  itself  in  the  fall 
of  17  as  compared  with  .377  in  the  S.A.T.C. 
Also  during  this  period  the  curriculum  was 
changed  three  times  in  four  weeks.  "We 
started  olT  with  the  college  curriculum," 
declared  Prof.  Smith,  "then  the  State 
ordered  a  change  which  in  turn  was  super- 
ceded by  another  order  from  the  Federal 
Ciovernment." 

briefly  describing  the  swift  reaction  in 
the  college  to  the  signing  of  the  armistice 
in  November,  l')18,  Professor  Smith  said, 
"The  college  jumped  at  once  from  war  to 
post-war  era,  it  happened  almost  over- 
night." "The  college  reformed  and  the 
period  from  January  to  June,  V)V)  was 
countetl  as  an  entire  college  \ear,  war 
degrees  were  granted  to  students  having 
completed  only  three  years  of  academic 
work,  and  the  return  of  men  in  1919-20 
created  the  unusual  situation  of  having 
six  organized  classes  attending  college  at 
the  same  time." 

Tlie  complete  re\olution  in  methods  of 
conducting  wars  make  it  difficult  to  com- 
pare anything  that  happened  in  1914-18

"The  .solution  lies  in  many  directions, 
but  fir.st  of  all  in  the  readiness  of  Williams 
fraternity  men  to  promote  the  idea  that 
scholastic  interest  and  success  are  a  part  of 
fraternity  life,  and  a  part  of  a  full  college 
career..  .  .Fraternities  will  not  be  comple- 
menting the  purposes  of  Williams  until 
they  are  waging  a  hght  for  scholastic 
intercKt  and  success.  This  hght  is  being 
waged  now  —  by  the  fraternities  that  do 
consider  scholarship  in  pledging,  b\  frater- 
nities that  are  supplementing  their  Hell 
Week  with  full-semester  programs  in- 
tended to  center  the  minds  of  freshmen  on 
college  and  house  problems."

to  the  present  war.  At  that  thiie  tl\e 
"old  traditional  methods  were  used,  now 
the  men  go  behind  the  tanks,  artillery  and 
planes  —  tlien,  the  infantry  was  often 
unsupported  in  any  way." 

Student  Effort  Vital 

However,  Professor  Smith  asserts  that 
there  are  at  least  two  fields  in  which  the 
student  can  profitably  direct  his  efforts  at 
present;  the  field  of  morale  and  that  of  the 
pursuit  of  technical  knowledge  and  skill. 
In  speaking  of  moralenow,  Prof.Smithsaid, 
"we  should  supply  the  men  with  direct 
views  of  what  the  country  is  involved  in. 
Wheeler  might  call  it  propaganda.  It  is 
propaganda — l)ut  necessary."  Professor 
Smith  went  on  to  emphatically  state, 
"As  things  are  now,  we  need  no  expedition- 
ary foice,  it  is  muah  more  important  to 
have  technicians.  The  college  is  not 
needed  for  infantry,  the  college  is  needed 
as  an  arsenal  of  technically  trained  men." 

Professor  Smith  concluded  by  saying 
that  "what  the  country  needs  is  men 
trained  in  meteorology,  physics,  chemistry, 
radio  and  similar  sciences.  To  illustrate 
this  need,  I  know  of  cases  wheretheUnited 
States  Army  has  gone  so  far  as  to  ask  for  a 
list  of  those  men  who  were  candidates 
for  Masters  degrees  in  physics  and  failed 
to  make  the  grade."

Cross  -  Country  Team 
To  Oppose   Vermont 

Led  by  Captain  Hob  Griggs,  the  Wil- 
liams cross-country  team  will  be  out  to 
avenge  last  je.ir's  difeat  when  it  meets  a 
sirong  Vermont  s{|uad  at  Burlington  to- 
morrow. Last  year  the  Wildcats  upset 
the  Purple  harriers  tm  the  honu'  course, 
setting  a  lU'W  Williaius  College  record. 

Eight  men,  Griggs,  Brew  Chapman, 
Ken  Moore,  Dave  Brown,  Art  Richmond, 
Ed  Shefiield,  Hack  Neilson,  and  Maurice 
Goodbody,  left  Willianistown  today. Coach 
Tony  Plansk\'  will  bank  on  Griggs,  Chap- 
man, Moore  and  Brown,  the  cjuartet  that 
eked  out  a  27-28  victory  over  Middlcbury 
in  the  season's  opener,  and  hopes  to  pull  a 
surprise  with  one  of  his  other  starters. 

Vermont's  hope  to  make  it  two  straight 
over  the  Ephnien  will  rest  in  the  Webster 
twins,  Charlie  and  Fred,  Bud  Hoyt,  Mart 
McLaren  and  Merle  Cown. 


FOOTBALL

In  his  starting  line-up  this  week.  Coach 
Caldwell  has  shifted  Hu  Oswald  back  to 
his  starting  tackle  berth,  and  has  moved 
Med  Hall  into  guard  in  place  of  Johnny 
Irwin.  Otherwise,  the  team  will  be  the 
same  as  faced  Bowdoin. 

In  fifteen  games  since  1885,  Williams  has 
won  eleven  lost  three  antl  tietl  one  with 
Tufts.  Since  the  start  of  the  "modern 
series"  in  1933,  Williams  has  won  live, 
lost  two  and  tied  one.  Last  year  the  Eph- 
nien tripped  Tufts  in  the  last  thirty 
seconds  on  a  22->'ard  field  goal  by  Shaun 
Meehan  to  come  out  on  top,  22-20.

Glee    Club   Revives  Old 
Musical    Comedy   Hits 

Featuring  Wanen  G.  Ilunkc  '42  and 
Geoige  D.  Lawrence  '43,  The  Williams 
Glee  Club  will  inaugurate  the  first  of  the 
Musical  Comedy  Recital  Scries"  featuiing 
the  works  of  Jerome  Kern,  Sunday  even- 
ing at  8:1. S  in  the  studio  auditorium  in  the 
A.M.T.  This  rccitnl,  the  first  in  a  pro- 
posed series  of  five,  will  have  Miss  Joan 
Stokes  of  Bennington  College  and  Lawr- 
ence C.  Smith  '45  as  vocal  soloists. 

Hunke  expressed  the  hope  that  these 
revivals  of  musical  comedy  hits  of  past 
years  would  appeal  to  the  student  body 
to  such  an  extent  that  they  might  continue 
through  the  winter.  Assistant  Professor 
Roy  Lamson,  Jr.,  clarinetist,  and  the  Glee 
Club  Octet  will  also  appear  an  later  pro- 
grams. Tickets  for  the  first  recital  are 
being  sold  in  advance  by  the  Glee  Club 
for  twenty-five  cents. 

Cole  Porter  will  be  the  subject  of  the 
second  recital  on  November  9,  and  Hunke 
announced  that  Porter  himself  was  being 
consulted  about  the  program.  On  the 
thirtieth  of  November,  Rogers  and  Hart 
will  be  taken  up  along  with  Artjuir 
Schwartz,  author  of  "Dancing  in  the 
Dark"  and  "I  Love  Louisa". 

The  fourth  recital  on  December  12  will 
feature  songs  by  the  well-known  composers 
George  Gershwin  and  Irving  Berlin,  while 
the  final  program  on  December  18  will  be 
made  up  of  musical  comedy  music  written 
by  Williams  students. 


Art   Museum   Trades 

Assyrian    Bas  -  Reliefs 

The  permanent  collections  of  the 
Lawrence  Art  Museum  have  been  greatly 
enriched  by  a  large  number  of  purchases 
and  gifts.  Of  major  importance  ;ire  fifteen 
works  of  art  which  were  acquired  in  ex- 
change for  one  of  three  fine  Assyiian  bas- 
reliefs  in  the  Museum's  possession.  The 
disposal  of  duplicate  material  in  this 
manner  enabled  the  Museum  to  fill  gaps 
in  the  collections  with  original  works  of 
art,  which  it  could  scarcely  have  hoped  to 
acquire. 

The  new  acquisitions  which  have  been 
placed  on  special  exhibition,  and  will  be  on 
view  through  October  30,  «ere  obtained 
from  the  Brummci  and  Buchholz  galleries 
in  New  York,  and  through  the  generosity 
and  interest  of  alumni  and  friends  of  the 
college  who  made  a  number  of  gifts. 

2  Egyptian  Bronzes 

The  Assyrian  bas-relijf,  discovered  at 
Nineveh  by  Sir  Henry  Layaid  —  given  to 
a  Williams  graduate  by  him  and  then  to 
the  Museum  —  was  exchanged  with  the 
Brummer  Galleries  for  works  of  art  which 
are  of  an  intimate  character,  and  can  be 
studied  and  handled  for  practical  teach- 
ing purposes.  Outstanding  among  these 
are  two  Egyptian  bronzes  of  the  Saite 
period,  one  the  head  of  a  cat  and  the  other 
of  an  Ibis,  and  a  carved  Romanesque 
capital  in  compact  limestone  in  remark- 
able preservation,  dating  froin  the  twelfth 
century.  Money  obtained  in  the  ex- 
change enabled  the  Museum  to  purchase  a 
beautiful  statuette  of  Leda  by  Maillol, 
considered  one  of  the  artist's  finest  works. 

Also  of  interest  is  an  exhibition  of  paint- 
ings by  Lojis  Tavelli,  a  talented  Williams- 
town painter  who  has  studied  on  his  own 
and  under  the  direction  of  a  well-known 
artist  in  Colorado  Springs  and  has  es- 
tablished his  studio  here. 


Stiffest  Competition 
For  Eph  Yachtsmen 
At  M.I.  T.  and  Brown 


Saturday  morning  the  forces  of  the 
Williams  \'acht  Club  embark  for  a  week- 
end of  sailing  in  tlu'  Boston  area  for  the 
biggest  assignmeiU  of  the  fall  season.  The 
annual  Fall  bivitatiim  Intercollegiate 
Dinghy  Regatta  to  l)e  held  at  Brown 
University  will  come  tomorrow, while,  with 
twenty-live  to  thirty  other  leading  college 
crews,  the  sailors  will  coiupete  for  the  new 
Scliell  TrophN'  at  MIT  on  Sunday. 

Skippers,  Romeyn  Everdell  '42andJohn 
Fuller  '43,  with  their  respective  crews  of 
Henry  Strong  '45  and  Elliot  Payson  '44, 
will  be  attenrpting  <in  Sunday  to  upset  a 
favored  MIT,  Dartmouth  combine  and 
regain  the  title  which  Williams  captured 
two  seasons  ago.  The  new  Schi'll  Trophy 
replaces  the  famed  Boston  Dingh>-  Cup, 
which  has  been  withdrawn  frimi  the  fall 
competition,  antl  represeirts  the  biggest 
fall  regatta  to  be  held  on  the  Atlantic 
Coast.  Teams  from  most  of  the  large 
eastern  and  mitldle-western  colleges  will 
race.  The  elimination  round  will  come 
on  Sunday  morning  and  linals  in  the  after- 
noon. 

'40- '41  Sailors  Erratic 

The  Williams  team  of  last  year  definitely 
tended  toward  the  erratic  side  with  the 
high  spot  of  the  season  coming  at  the  re- 
gatta with  the  Coast  Guard,  vvhenaslrong 
team  from  Dartmcjuth  found  the  Purple 
squad  a  tough  nut  to  crack  and  just  man- 
aged to  eke  out  a  one-point  victory.  This 
season  the  Williams  crews,  seasoned  b\' 
two  previous  fall  engagements,  will  hnd 
themselves  among  the  cream  of  college 
competition  when  they  set  out  to  avenge 
last  year's  set-back.

(Continiu'd  from  i-iiye  1) 

Discussing  his  first  month's  experience 
with  the  project,  Mr.  Osterhout  said  ih,i( 
he  had  found  the  National  Youth  Ail- 
ministration  "most  cooperative."  While 
the  NYA  exercises  strict  supervision  over 
all  linancial  aspects  of  the  grants,  Mr. 
Osterhout  stated  that  there  has  bcin  n„

Shortage  Over;  Problem 
Of  Driving  Law  Faces 
Committee  Tonight 


Now,  that  the  gas  shortage  is,  according 
to  the  latest  Ickesian  word,  over,  the 
I'nilergraduate  Council  is  faced  with  the 
problem  of  reconsidering  the  driving  law 
put  into  effect  in  late  Septeniber,  It  is 
expected  that  the  council  will  lake  some 
consideraticn  of  the  law  at  its  regular 
meeting  tonight, 

"TIk'  restoration  of  the  tankers"  (40 
oil  transports  loaned  lii  (Ireat  Hritain), 
said  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  on  Thurs- 
day, "has  enabled  us  to  reach  the  goal 
toward  which  the  Office  of  the  Petroleum 
Co-ordinator  has  been  striving  since  this 
sunuiier  —  the  removal  of  gasoline  re- 
strictions which  were  necessariU'  invoked 
on  the  east  coast, 

Liimitations  Removed 

"1  ha\"e  therefore,"  continued  Ickes, 
"requested  ihe  Director  of  Priorities  to 
remove    the   limitations    now    in    effect," 

T"he  first  step  to  alleviate  a  possible 
gas  shortage  in  Williamstown  was  taken 
by  Hean  llalfdan  Gregersen  in  the  middle 
of  August  when  he  wrote  juniors  and 
seniors  re(|uesting  them  not  to  bring 
automobiles  to  college  unless  it  was  felt 
that    they    were    "ab.scjlutely    necessary," 

The  re()uest  had  little  elTect  and  local 
gas  dealers,  announcing  at  the  opening  of 
college  in  .Septendier,  thai  a  shortage  did 
e,\ist,  said  that  if  stuilents  restricted  cent- 
sumption  and  did  not  drive  for  short 
jaunts  around  the  campus,  they  would  be 
able  to  fill  all  orders.

ting   them    off,    the    Williams     College

broad  daylight  last  week  evoked  vari- 
"iis  explanations,  ranging  from  an   affec- 
Jlionatc    "She's   ovcrchBrging!"  to  a  sug- 
kestion  that  the  library  might  be  pursuing 
P    subtle   lamp-in-thc-window   policy    to

A  more  relevant  explanation  was  offered

^Prague.  It  was  discovered  recently  that 
Mic  constant  turning  on  and  off  of  the 
fluorescent  lamps  was  materially  shorten- 
p "K  their  lives,  a  serious  situation  in  view 
of  the  expense  involved  in  replacement,

Favor  Declaration  of  War  on  Axis  Powers 

Williairs  Is  still  s'tting  the  pace  in  collegiate  interventionist  circles, 
I'orty-three  per  cent  or  270  of  the  62.S  undergraduates  who  voted  in  the  recent 
l<i';<oiin  war  poll  favored  an  inmiediate  declaration  of  war  on  Nazidermany  as  the 
most  effective  coursi-  of  action  for  the  United  States  to  pursue  in  the  present 
crisis,  Twenty-s;'ven  per  cent  \dted  that  a  repeal  of  the  neutrality  act  to  allow 
Americui  ships  to  enter  combat  zones  constituted  the  must  favor  ible  line  of 
American  foreign  policy.  Another  27  per  cent  favored  a  continuation  of  the  {'urrent 
l.end-lcasL'  program  with  extension  of  unlimited  credit  to  nations  resisting  axis 
aggressian.  Only  3  per  cent  Isolationist 

'  A  meagre  .3  per  cent  in<licated  their 
support  of  an  isolationist  policy  for  Anter- 
ica  with  restricted  Lend-lease  shipments 
to  Hritain  and  the  abandonment  of  Ihe 
naval  patrol  system, 

.Similar  mid-October  polls  at  Harvard, 
Princeton,  and  Dartmouth  hii\'e  re\ealed 
a  much  more  gradual  swing  iway  from 
their  1040  brand  of  Ostrich  isolationism. 
At  Harvard  and  Princeton,  traditional 
isolationist  hotbeds,  20  per  cent  of  the 
student  body  feel  the  necessity  for  actively 
entering  the  war  against  the  threat  of 
Kascist  world  domination,  33  per  cent  of 
the  Dartmouth  undergraduates  are  asking 
for  an  American  declaration  of  war  on 
Hitler, 

Local  War  Feeling  Diminished 
l)cs])ite  Williams  unchallenged  position 
in  the  vanguard  of  New  England  student 
interventionism,  there  are  indications  that 
the  fervor,  if  not  the  extent  of  local  war 
feeling  has  languished  somewhat  since  the 
spring. 

Last  spring  the  most  spectacular  news 
event  of  the  hour  was  Rudolph  Hess' 
flight  to  England,  Today,  by  contrast, 
an  invading  Nazi  juggernaut  has  smashed 
through  the  Russian  Ukraine  to  the  Cau- 
casian oil  field  approaches,  Moscow  de- 
fenses totter  before  the  pounding  hammer 
blows  of  the  German  Wehrniacht;  Japan 
threatens  in  the  Far  East;  six  American 
ships  have  been  torpedoed  in  as  many 
months.  Yet  last  spiing  .Sa  per  cent  of 
the  Williams  student  body  favored  full  and 
immediate  military  :ind  naval  partici 
pation  in  the  war  with  Britain,  whether 
accompanied  by  a  formal  declaration  of 
war  or  not.  And  today,  43  per  cent  ofthe 
college  undergraduates  favor  an  inmiediate 
declaration  of  war. 

This,  however,  may  not  represent  a 
retrogression  in  local  student  war  opinion. 
It  is  possible  that  if  the  first  question  were 
worded  "make  war  on"  rather  than  "de- 
clare war  against"  more  students  would 
have  responded  affirmatively. 
Dangers  of  Nazi  Triumph  Realized 
Moreover,  many  students  may  feel  that 
in  the  event  of  full  American  military  and 
naval  cooperation  w  ith  Hritain  and  Russia 
against  the  axis,  a  formal  declaration  of 
war  would  be  superfluous. 

This  analysis  is  borne  out  by  the  sharp 
rise   in    undergraduate   awareness   of  the

Musical  Comedy  Hits 
Pack   Initial    Recital 

Applause  for  Jerome  Kern's  splendid 
music  literally  "rocked"  the  Studio  Audi- 
torium of  the  Adams  Memorial  Phealre 
last  night  as  a  large  audience  heard  Warren 
Hunke  and  George  Lawrence  at  two 
pianos,  Joan  Stokes,  Bennington  '42  and 
Larry  Smith  '45  in  selections  from  "Show- 
boat", "Cat  And  The  Fiddle",  and 
"Roberta".  Many  were  turned  away  as 
a  large  crowd  from  Bennington,  Massa- 
chusetts State,  North  Adams,  Williams- 
town as  well  as  members  of  the  facult\-  and 
the  student  body,  turned  out  for  the  first 
of  the  new  Musical  Comedy  Recitals, 

Outstanding  number  on  the  program 
was  a  medley  from  "Showboat"  by  Hunke 
and  Lawrence  which  featured  Larry  Smith, 
baritone,  singing  "Old  Man  River,"  Miss 
Stokes'  rendition  of  "My  Bill,"  a  vocal 
duct  on  "Why  Do  I  Love  You,"  and  a 
piano  duo  of  "Make  Believe". 

In  what  was  mentioned  as  "the  only 
risque  number  on  the  program,"  Hunke 
and  Lawrence  sang  a  duct  "Let's  Begin". 

Miss  Stokes'  first  number  was  "Why 
Was  I  Born"  in  which  her  clear  contralto 
voice  visibly  moved  listeners.  Another 
highlight  of  the  program  was  "She  Didn't 
Say  Yes,  She  Didn't  Say  No"  from  the 
"Cat  And  The  Fiddle"  on  the  two  pianos. 

Next  recital  will  probably  be  held  in  the 
auditorium  to  accommodate  a  larger  crowd 
when  the  Glee  Club  features  Cole  Porter's 
music  on  November  9.

'His 


Border  Patrol  Wants 
Tough  Williams  Boys 
for  Rio  Grande  Duty 


Husky  Williams  undergraduates,  ac 
customed  to  "night  work  and  irregular 
hours,"  will  find  a  hearty  welcome  in  the 
United  States  Border  Patrol,  a  hard-riding 
organization  devoted  to  catching  illegal 
aliens  on  the  Mexican  border.  Applicants 
must  have  had  one  year's  experience  in  an 
occupation  requiring  "arduous  physical 
activity." 

However,  more  is  needed  than  a  taste 
for  adventure  and  an  eye  for  cactus.  If 
you  are  the  "active  type,"  enjoy  "all  kinds 
of  climatic  conditions,"  and  weigh  upwards 
of  145  lbs,  you  have  a  definite  chance  to 
join  the  Patrol. 


McLaren  To  Head 
Committee  Selling 
Bonds  at  Williams 

Backed  Similar  Campaign 
in  First  World  War; 
Seeks   Student    Opinion 


.Stating t hat  the purchasingdf  government 
bon<ls  is  "one  w:iy  of  hastening  the  process 
of  defi'aling  Miller  and  of  winning  the  war," 
Professor  Walter  \V.  .McLaren  started  his 
second  cani[)aign  to  boost  the  sales  of 
government  bonds  in  Williamstown,  last 
week.  With  Professors  l)(mald  E.  Rich- 
mimd  and  Alan  Sweezy  completing  a 
conuniltee  of  three,  Williams  enters  a 
nation-wifle  drive  in  schools,  colleges,  and 
universities  to  pronicJle  the  sales  of  govern- 
ment stamps  and  bonds. 

Student  Committee  Proposed 

At  a  joint  meeting  of  the  Indergraduale 
Council  and  Prnfcwor  McLaren's  gnuip 
Thursday  night  the  merits  of  forming  a 
companion  committee  to  be  made  up  of 
stuilejUs  who  would  work  in  conjunclicni 
with  the  three  faculty  niemlKM>  was  dis- 
cussed, Pollowing  a  sounding  out  of 
undergraduate  opinion  on  such  a  move 
there  will  he  another  joint  meeting  to 
further  discuss  the  idea. 

It  was  decided,  Thursday  that  Mr,  Mc- 
Laren's immediate  function  is  to  WDrk  up 
studeiU  allcnlion  anil  provcjke  sales  of 
these  defense  stamps  and  bonds,  but  not  to 
canvass  the  campus  as  was  done  in  World 
War,  I,  This  latter  step  will  In-  taken 
only  if  the  I'niled  St:Ues  takes  a  lighting 
part  in  the  luiropean  conflict, 

McLaren  Promoted  1914  Sales 

Then  a  British  citizen.  Professor  Mc- 
Laren waged  a  person  to  person  drive  in 
1914  as  chairman  of  a  committee  similar 
to  the  one  he  heads  now  to  promnfc  ihe 
sale  of  liberty  bonds.  When  coxering 
Spring  .Strcel  one  day  he  sold  a  SIOOO  bond 
on  sight  to  an  Italian  laborer  when  ihe 
man  pulled  that  amount  of  cash  from  his 
hip  pocket,  W'illiamstown's  lolal  allot- 
ment in  the  lirsl  issue  of  World  War  1  was 
$100,000.  Almosl  four  limes  that  amount 
was  sold  here. 

Mr.  McLaren  stated  three  reasons  for 
buying  defense  bonds.  First  is  the 
patriotic  motive.  The  second  is  from  a 
savings  point  of  view,  since  the  bonds 
yiehl  a  2  .9  per  cent  interest  annually,  and 
the  third  is  to  help  slop  inflation  by 
limiting  the  purchasing  power  of  the  people 
of  this  country.  It  is  his  intention  that 
students  save  some  of  their  money  through 
buying  bonds  rather  than  making  such 
purchase's  an  additional  charge  on  pari-nts,

McKee  Rallies  to  Gain 
Williams  Golf  Crown 

Sophomore    Beats     Heuer 
on       Twentieth       Green 


Three  holes  down  anil  six  to  play, 
linksnian  Bob  McKee  staged  a  late  rally 
on  the  'Laconic  Course,  Sunday  afternoon, 
to  defeat  Charlie  Heuer  one  up  on  the 
twentieth  hole  for  the  College  Champion- 
.ship.  Although  the  freshman  star  took 
fewer  shots  over  the  regulation  eighteen 
holes  than  the  nine  over  par  82  chalked  up 
by  McKee,  the  sophomore  managed  to 
keep  even  with  him,  finally  winning  out  on 
the  second  extra  hole. 

McKee  reached  the  final  round  by  virtue 
of  wins  over  George  Batchelder,  Bnli  Max- 
field,  and  a  semi-final  con(|uest  of  Pete 
Davis.  Heuer  advanced  by  successive 
victories  over  Munro  Steel,  Mai  Moore, 
and  an  upset  3  and  2  triumph  over  last 
year's  champiim,  Pete  Hussey. 

Playing  poorly  at  first,  McKee  was  three 
down  after  the  twelfth  hole,  but  a  great 
rally  captured  three  of  the  next  four  holes, 
deadlocking  the  issue.  In  this  uprising, 
McKee  won  the  thirteenth,  the  fifteenth 
with  a  birdie,  and  the  sixteenth,  splitting 
the  fourteenth.  After  halving  the  next 
three  holes,  McKee  finally  broke  the  ice 
and  captured  the  twentieth  with  a  par 
four,  one  shot  better  than  Heuer.

Changing  The  Driving  Rules 

III  realm  nf  aiilliority  at  llu-  nuTcy  of  faculty  and  students  both,  the 
Uiidergradiialc  ('oiiiK'il  now  takes  another  lieatinj;. 

Tlii.s  time  from  Mr.  Ickes,  who  lia.s  called  ofT  the  gasoline  shortage. 
Thore'.s  ga.s  enoufih  lor  everyliody  now. 

The  U.  ('.  had  received  a  nice  letter  from  Mr.  Newhall. 

Even  the  ga.solinc-saver.s  in  IJo.ston  wrote  up,  and  said,  "Swell." 

Tiie  Hoard  of  Trustees  met,  and  announced  at  a  press  conference 
that  they  were  looking  "with  interest"  at  the  new  U.  C.  ruling. 

And  now  Mr.  Ickes  thi'ows  a  wrench  intt>  as  pretty  a  picture  of  college 
bliss  as  yon  would  want  to  see. 

*:);  +  * 

Now  the  r.  ('.  has  to  look  at  the  driving  question  all  over  again. 

Not  in  terms  of  a  government -.sptni.sored  .shortage  —  there  isn't  any. 

Not  in  terms  of  a  c()llege-api)roved  .shortage  —  there  couldn't  even 
l)e  one  of  those  now. 

It  nuist  look  at  the  driving  question  in  terms  of  what  it  has  done, 
in  terms  of  whatever  authority  it  might  have,  and  in  terms  of  what  it 
would  like  to  do. 

The  U.  C.  should  not  assume  that,  as  legislation,  its  recent  ruling 
would  he  a  handicap  and  hardship  now  that  the  emergency  is  over. 

Nor  .should  it  decide  that  all  is  well  with  the  college  driving  rules  and 
regulations  as  they  now  stand. 

Most  of  all,  the  V.  (\  .shouldn't  assume  that  doing  .something  or 
suggesting  something  will  get  .student  government  in  hot  water. 

The  U.  ('.  has  iiotliiiig  to  lo.se  by  .suggesting  and  a.sking  —  nothing 
but  more  of  its  .seeniing  authority. 

It  has  much  to  gain  —  the  kind  of  authority,  for  instance,  that  wouhl 
make  it  a  .student  governing  body  rather  than  something  to  clean  up  small 
things  around  the  campus  and  take  care  of  a  few  incidentals  for  Hopkins 
Hall. 

1)1  *  *  4< 

Here  is  an  example  of  the  kind  of  legislation  the  Undergraduate 
Council  might  propose  to  the  college.  Here  is  the  skeleton  of  a  pvoposcil 
new  driving  law  for  the  college: 

1.  Soi)honK)res  with  3. 1  averages.  Juniors,  and  Seniors  may  own  and 
operate  automobiles. 

2.  Automobiles  may  be  ()])erated  freely  in  Williamstown  on  week- 
ends only. 

."5.  During  the  week,  driving  shall  be  permitted  only  for  entrance  to 
or  exit  from  town,  M'ith  certain  exceptions  similar  to  tho.se  in  the  recent 
V.  C.  ruling. 

•I.  All  i)enalties  under  all  aspects  of  the  driving  rules  of  the  college 
shall  be  in  the  hands  of  the  Undergraduate  Council. 

*  iN  *  * 

Some  are  going  to  .say  that  this  is  asking  for  a  lot. 

Others  are  going  to  say  that  it  isn't  asking  for  enough. 

Here  are  our  rea.sons  for  this  proposed  new  law: 

The  avowed  rea.son  for  the  [jresent  legislation  no  longer  exists. 

There  is  no  serious  hardship  —  and  much  advantage  —  in  the  U.  C. 
restrictions  now  placed  on  driving  in  Williamstown. 

If  juniors  and  .seniors  are  allowed  to  drive,  no  rea.son  can  be  given  for 
depriving  .schola.stically  able  .so])homores  of  the  .same  privilege,  unless  it 
be  the  overcrowding  of  the  parking  facilities  of  the  town  —  this  evil  to  he 
eliminated  by  retaining  the  i)resent  U.  C.  restrictions. 

Dean's  Office  enforcement  of  driving  rules  is  in  large  part,  by  neces- 
sity, ephemeral  .stuff  becau.se  the  Dean  has  trouble  being  "in  the  know." 
Past  efforts  at  undergraduate  enforcement,  too,  have  i)rohahly  been 
inadequate  —  nH)stly  because  Undergraduate  Council  members  know  that 
their  responsibility  is  a  pretty  whim,sical  thing  so  long  as  authority  is 
"seeming." 

Here  is  a  chance  for  the  faculty,  the  trustees,  the  undergraduate 
body  to  pull  one  aspect  of  Williams  out  of  prep  school,  and  to  promote 
what  might  develop  into  an  era  of  real  .student  government.  In  looking 
at  this  problem,  all  three  groups  al.so  would  do  well  to  join' in  .setting  up 
permanent  nuichiiiery  to  serve  as  a  clearing  house  for  matters,  like  this 
one,  of  mutual  concern. 


Letter  to  Editors 


To  ttif  Editor  of  tlic  Rkcoud: 

A  few  comnients  come  to  niirul  upon 
reading  tile  last  issue  of  the  RF.foui).  I'o 
start  with,  you  have  delined  your  purpose 
as  that  of  presenting  "the  best  available 
information  on ...  methods  of  making 
fratcrnlt\-  life  more  responsive  to  the 
educational  purpose  of  the  college." 
You  further  explain  that  it  is  because 
"fraternities  have  failed  miserably  in... 
getting  the  best  out  of  Williams"  that 
the  series  have  been  written.  Now,  one 
wonders  what  you  mean  by  getting  the 
"best  out  of  Williams."  It  has  always 
seemed  somehow  that  what  was  "best  in 
Williams"  was  a  subjective  matter,  and 
one  to  be  decided  Individually  and  not 
collectively.  Yet,  tine  has  only  to  look  at 
another  portion  which  has  been  written 
to  find  that  "the  attitu<le  of  this  college. .  . 
(is  to  expect),  .  .something  better  than 
respectability  in  scholarship."  The  pas- 
sage is  quoted  from  one  in  which  you  make 


reference  to  the  deplorable  condition 
which  exists  when  a  national  president  of 
a  fraternity  has  seen  that  the  members  of 
his  active  chapter  only  seek  "respect- 
ability" In  marks.  1  think  from  the 
Inference  here  that  we  may  conclude  that 
you  are  Interested  in  seeing  better  marks 
on  the  part  of  all  fraternity  men.  This 
seems  to  be  at  once  a  very  major  fallacy. 
When  any  freshman  class  Is  admitted  to 
Williams,  no  one  assumes  that  its  members 
will  be  uniform  In  scholastic  rating.  Nor 
does  anyone  assume  that  the  greatest 
fraction  of  the  class  will  be  in  the  upper 
brackets  In  the  marking  .system.  Like- 
wise, the  entire  marking  system  Is  respon- 
sive to  particular  instances,  for  the  use  of  a 
sliding  scale  in  the  majority  of  courses  is 
well  known.  Now,  if  there  were  to  be, 
over  a  period  of  a  year,  a  marked  increase 
in  the  number  of  men  attaining  dean's 
list  standing,  there  would  be  an  adjust- 
ment to  this.  Briefly,  my  point  is  that 
the  marking  system  is  a  flexible  one,  and 
that  any  upsurge  in  scholarship  would 
only  result  in  a  corresponding  upsurge  in 
the  results  which  could  be  equated  with  an 


upper  bracket  mark.  1  am  hopeful  llieriv 
fore,  that  you  are  really  iiilerested  In  si'c- 
iiiH  a  hit  more  than  a  rise  In  Chi"  miinber  of 
men  who  get  "coiiinieiulable"  Krades,  tcjr 
If  ihe  rise  were  to  lie  general,  as  you  hope, 
It  would  only  resull  in  a  reslratification  of 
the  marking  system  al  a  higher  notch. 

I  would  call  your  Insistence 
that  the  scholastic  inolive  be  suddenly 
made  uppermost  In  I  he  minds  of  frater- 
nitle:;,  such  a  false  reailjustiiienl.  He- 
cause  it  Is  false,  because  U  will  only  come 
about  through  pressure,  and  will  disappear 
al  ihc  relaxation  of  pressure,  1  feel  llial  ll 
cannot  succeed.  If  lis  main  niolive  is  lo 
make  Williams  men  sliidy  Imrdernml  ga 
better  marks  from  their  courses. 

In  the  light  of  the  above  erillcisins,  I 
would  like  to  offer  a  suggestion.  Wlial 
seems  to  lie  needed  is  not  a  new  empbasis 
upon  grades,  nor  any  dynamic  readjusl- 
mc^nt  of  the  system.  This  hopes  for  re- 
wards which  can  be  put  on  paper,  and 
whose  character  Is  essenlialh'  ephemeral. 
What  Is  desired  seems  lo  be  a  long  term 
readjustment  of  student  attitude.  Messrs. 
Tully  and  Whidden  have  pointed  out  that 
this  can  only  be  done  by  changing  the  t  ypr 
of  man  who  comes  to  Williams.  With  this 
1  am  In  complete  disagreement,  for  it  is  an 
admission  that  doing  what  Is  desired  is 
impossible  with  the  Williams  un<ler- 
graduate  of  today.  I  don't  think  this  Is  so.  1 
frankly  think  that  the  condition  Is  not  an 
Isolated  one  at  Williams  or  In  VVilliams 
fraternities,  or  even  In  American  educa- 
tion. What  we  face  Is  the  negation  of 
positive  and  spiritual  values  In'  an  entire 
society. 

At  Williams  we  might  seekabettermeeting 
ground  between  faculty  and  stuilenl,  be- 
tween fraternity  and  non-fraternity  man, 
between  members  of  different  fratcmil  ii'S, 
and  between  different  fraternity  dele- 
gations. My  only  actual  and  positive 
plan  would  be  the  reliirth  of  the  sludenl- 
facult\-  bidl  se.ssions  which  many  frater- 
nities had.  1  feel  that  the  plan  wliicli 
some  houses  have  of  educating  freshmen 
is  likewise  a  step  in  the  right  direction. 
But  above  all  we  must  havi-  a  <iuieker  and 
more  open  interplay  of  Ideas  among  nieii 
who  are  living  those  Ideas.  Such  a  con- 
dition can  only  become  a  realiU'  in  a  nieil- 
lum  which  is  free  and  natural,  In  a  com- 
munion of  interest  and  exchange.  For  this 
reason,  I  feel  that  what  we  must  be  in- 
terested in  Is,  above  all,  the  Improvement 
of  student-faculty  exchange.  If  an  en- 
riched college  career  is  sought,  ll  will  have 
to  come  this  way  rather  than  through 
belter  houseparties,  wider  cutting  privi- 
leges, or  the  ability  to  drive  a  car  all  over 
a  small  New  England  village  at  any  time.

AinluTst  won  the  first  lap  of  the  Little 
Three  race  Saturilay,  by  nosing  out  VVes- 
I  leyan,   16-7,  oil  Pratt  Field.     This  is  the 
first  Amherst  victory  in  l.ittie  'I'hree  foot- 
ball for  the  last  three  seasons. 

With  l.'ackfielil  aces,  Hob  Blood  and  Tom 
Mulroy,  side-lined  by  inj in ies  received  in 
I  he  first  half  and  the  score  deadlocked  at 
-7,  .\iiiherst's  line  asserted  its  power, 
I  blocking  two  punts  for  a  touchdown  and  a 
safety  that  gave  the  Lord  JelTs  a  16-7 
margin  of  victory. 

Carrier  Passes  For  First  Score 

Captain  JIni  Carrier  opened  the  scoring 
111  the  finst  period  with  a  perfect  pass  to 
rml,  Morrill,  in  the  end  zone.  Carrier  con- 
Mited  to  put  the  VV'esiiieii  into  a  7-0  lead. 
All  Amherst  drive  in  the  initial  period  was 
slopped  by  a  pass  interception  on  the  17- 
\,ir(l  line,  but  a  fumble  on  Wesleyan's  20- 
yard  line  set  the  stage  for  the  Jeffs.  Tom 
Mulroy  carried  the  ball  across  the  line  in 
nvo  off-tackle  spuits,  and  Koebel's  drop 
kick  evened  the  count  at  7-7. 

liefore  the  half  ended,  a  fumble  on  the 
one-foot  line  foiled  one  Amherst  chance  to 
score,  and  Carrier's  sustained  drive  to  the 
lelT  two-yard  line  was  prematurely  nipped 
li\  the  end  of  the  half  After  a  see-saw

Vermont  Cross- Country  GAS  LAW 
Team  Triumphs,  23-32 


Williams'  yearling  teams  split  even  on 
the  weekend's  activities  as  Whoops  Snive- 
le\''s  eleven,  bouncing  liack  from  last 
week's  7-6  defeat  from  Norwich, eked  oul  a 
win  over  Choate  by  the  same  score,  and  ihe 
'45  cross-country  team  dropped  a  decisive 
meet  to  Mt.  llermon,  20-.SS. 

The  freshman  footballers,  held  scoreless 
during  the  lirsl  half,  broke  the  Cmld  and 
lilue  di-fense  late  in  the  third  ([uarter  when 
Andy  Knox  took  one  of  Larry  lirashears 
long  |)asses  to  knot  the  count  at  6-6. 

Fluky  Extra  Point 

I  he  attempted  conversion  was  bhjcked 
by  several  Choate  linemen,  but  Russ 
Tucker  snared  the  ball  and  lateralled  to 
Johnnie  lirown,  who  in  turn  tossed  to 
lleindon  for  the  all-important  e.xtra  point. 

Despite  beautiful  kicking  by  Herndon, 
Choate  dominated  the  first-half  play, 
pushing  a  ragge<l  Purple  team  deep  into 
its  territory  on  several  occasions,  and 
scoring  in  the  second  <|uarter  on  a  reverse 
from  the  .i()-\ard  line. 

Harriers  Badly  Beaten 

Taking  seven  (,ut  of  the  first  ten  places, 
a  strong  Mt.  Hermon  cross-counti>'  team 
swept  over  the  hapless  Purple  at  North- 
lield,  Salurihn  wilb  little  difliculty.  Parker 
.Smith  paced  Ihe  Williams  entrants  as  he 
finished  second  behind  Mt.  Hernion's 
Hramball.  Hramhall  completed  the  course 
with  a  lime  of  14.44,  to  pace  the  Mt. 
Tlermonites  to  their  second  successive  win 
over  the  Purple  yearlings. 

'The  Northfiekl  school  annexed  third, 
fourth,  and  fifth  places  as  Buker,  Hudgeii

WAR  POLL 

(Continued  from  paise  1) 
dangers  that  lie  in  a.  N  izi  triuinpli.  76 
per  cent  as  compared  to  61  per  cent  in  May 
indicated  their  conviction  in  the  |)oll  that 
American  capitalism  and  An\erican  demo- 
cratic political  institutions  could  not  sur- 
vive an  Axis-dominated  ICurope.  Only  9 
per  cent  insisted  that  "\'ou  can  do  business 
with  Hitler." 

The  poll  disclosed  a  sharp  advance  in 
student  recognition  of  the  responsibilities 
America  must  assume  in  the  jiost-war 
world,  yi  per  cent  of  the  students  were 
of  the  belief  that  the  United  States  must 
join  and  play  an  active  role  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  post-bellum  world-state 
organization  that  will  be  able  to  assure  a 
peaceful  and  fruitful  development  of 
democracy.  Only  ''  per  cent  championed 
a  post-war  policy  of  autarchic  nationalism 
for  America. 

WORLD  ORDER? 
When  faceil  with  a  concrete  choice 
between  a  league  of  Tiations,  a  world  order 
based  on  the  regional  concept  of  "spheres 
of  influence",  and  a  world  dominated  by 
the  English  speaking  powers,  as  the  ideal 
post-bellum  world  system,  67  per  cent 
alligned  themselves  with  the  league  prin- 
ciple, and  only  11  per  cent  went  out  on  the 
limb  for  the  regional  doctrine.  27  per  cent 
favored  the  principles  proposed  in  Clarence 
Streit's  "Union  Now"  as  the  basis  for  the 
new  world  state.  One  student  found  this 
question  impossible  because  all  the  choices 
were  "too  damned  idealistic." 
WAR  AND  LABOR 
The  issue  concennng  pro])er  measures 
to  be  in\'oked  in  defense  strikes  was  quite 
controversial  and  produced  a  slight  57 
per  cent  majority  in  favor  of  legislation 


empowering  the  president  to  forcefully 
suppress  strikes.  25  per  cent  expressed 
the  desire  that  the  president  take  over 
defense  plants  where  strikes  occur.  12 
|)er  cent  urged  that  the  situation  con- 
cerning government  intervention  be  kept 
static.  Only  6  per  cent  urged  abolition 
of  all  forms  of  government  interference  in 
management-labor  disputes. 

Poll  Taken  at  Other  Colleges 

The  Williams  survey  is  part  of  a  general 
intercollegiate  poll  being  conducted  at  ten 
other  representative  eastern  colleges  of 
less  than  1,200  enrollment.  Colleges,  be- 
sides Williams  participating  in  the  survey 
are  .'\mherst,  Howdoin,  Rhode  Island 
State,  New  Jersey  College  for  Women, 
Connecticut  College  for  Women,  Uni- 
versity of  Maine,  University  of  Connecti- 
cut, .Springfield  College.  Trinity,  and  Wes- 
Icyan,  the  sponsoring  college. 

Final  residts  of  the  student  poll  will  be 
published  in  a  subsequent  issue  of  The 
Ri-.coun.  Questions  used  in  the  poll  were 
selected  from  a  series  of  questions  con- 
tributed by  each  participating  college. 
The  judges  were  Arthur  Krock,  Wendell 
Willkie,  Max  Lerner,  and  Wilbur  liender, 
prominent  American  History  teacher  at 
Andover.

The  Lecture  Coniniitlee  has  hit  the 
jackpot  at  last. 

After  presenting  two  sjieakers  who  had 
plenty  to  say  but  no  big  names  to  draw  an 
audience,  the  Cominittee  has  scheduled  a 
lecture  for  next  Thursday  by  Louis  l"is- 
cher,  author  of  the  best-selling  Afcn  and 
Polilics  and  possessor  of  an  international 
reputation  as  one  of  the  keenest  inter- 
|)reters  of  the  ])ost-\'ersailles  decline  of 
western  ci\ili/ation.

inevitable. 

Men  and  Polilics,  in  which  Mr.  l^'ischer 
crammed  the  story  of  his  own  life  and  the

Under  the  leadership  of  Leonard  C. 
Tlionipson  '43,  the  Eph  theologists  will  in- 
struct Sunday-school  students  in  at  least 
live  schools  in  Blackinton,  South  VVilliams- 
I'Hvn  and  Williamstown  every  Sunday 
tliroughout  the  college  year.  The  average 
Sunday-school  teacher  holds  a  short  service 
every  week  and  then  plunges  into  the 
•uililous  duties  of  teaching  the  average 
Sunday-school  lesson  to  youngsters  rang- 
ing in  age  from  live  to  eighteen  years. 
Aims  of  Organization 

Aims  of  the  organization  this  yearwillbe 
I"  unify  instruction  in  the  Williamstown 
•Tea  and  coordinate  both  classes  and 
teachers;  to  name  a  supervisor  for  each 
school  who  will  oversee  the  work  of  his 
'subordinates  and  fill  in  when  necessary;  to 
wiirk  for  the  organization  of  more  young 
people's  groups;  to  send  out  speakers  to 
deliver  sermons  at  neighboring  churches; 
and  to  extend  last  year's  facilities. 

Several    young    people's    groups   have 


already  been  formed  under  the  direction 
of  the  committee,  most  successful  of  which 
has  been  that  in  South  Williamstown 
where  the\'  sponsor  bi-weekly  parties  and 
discussions. 

Program  To  Be  Expanded 

Other  special  features  in  mind  for  this 
year  Include  a  repetition  of  the  Easter 
morning  sunrise  service,  .successfully  spon- 
sored last  year  by  the  organization;  the 
procuring  of  speakers  to  instruct  the  in- 
structors; and  the  formation  of  a  teaching 
branch  in  Monroe  Bridge,  a  small  town 
beyond  North  Adams.  It  is  also  hoped 
that  the  committee  will  be  able  to  extend 
preaching  facilities  which  were  quite  limit- 
ed last  year. 

The  Deputatitms  Committee  annually 
receives  a  portion  of  the  $300  appropriated 
to  running  expenses  by  the  Williams  Chest 
Fund,  with  which  they  hold  their  annual 
picnic  for  Sunday-school  pupils  and  obtain 
new  bonks.

Concerning  Retainment 
of      Restricted      Driving 


Orchestra  leader  Johnny  Long  and  his  Oocalisi  He'en  Young  who  will  play  and  sing  for 
Friday  night's  formal  dance  on  Amherst  weekend. 


Johnny  Long  and  Bunny  Berigan  Selected 
To  Play  at  Dances  on  Houseparty  Weekend 

If  you  want  to  hear  an  erstwhile  southpaw  fuldle-playing  band  leader  and  a  red- 
hot  trumpeter,  you  had  better  be  at  all  three  dances  on  Amherst  weekend.  For 
according  to  Arthur  \'.  Lee,  111  '42,  Business  Manager  of  the  Glee  Club,  Johnny 
Long  and  Bunn\'  Berigan  will  be  around  to  keep  the  dancers  dancing. 

'*'  Chosen  as  the  result  of  a  campus-wide 
poll  which  showed  his  to  be  the  itiost 
popular  of  the  available  bands.  Long  has 
been  signed  to  play  at  the  formal  dance  in 
the  gym  on  Frida\',  Novi-mber  14th,  from 
10:30  p.m.  to  3  a.m. 

Tea  Dance  To  Be  Held 
Berigan's  orchestra  will  play  for  two 
dances  on  Saturday,  innovating  a  college 
lea  dance  in  the  g\'m  immediately  after 
'he  ^nihersl  football  eame,  and  plaving 
again  al  an  informal  dance  that  evening 
from  y  to  1 2.  The  tea  dance  is  being  given 
this  year  to  accommodate  the  numerous 
alumni  and  Amherst  students  who  ordi- 
narily leave  Williamstown  at  the  com- 
pletion of  the  game.  If  this  dance  is 
successful,  it  will  be  repeated  in  future 
years. 

Long's  Band  Shatters  Records 
Since  his  appearance  here  at  the  Wes- 
le>an  weekend  dance  last  fall.  Long's  band 
has  enjoyetl  a  meteoric  rise  to  fame.  Re- 
cently termed  by  the  trade  magazine 
Variety  as  "The  Miracle  Band  of  the 
^'ear,"  Long's  aggregation  will  come  to 
Williams  direct  from  the  Paramount 
Thealre  in  New  York,  where  he  is  n(!w  in 
a  secon<l  record-breaking  week.

Panel  Debates  Rule 
Enforcement  Here 

Keller  Proposes  Faculty, 
Students  Form  Joint 
Board     to     Make     Laws 


Professor  Charles  R.  Keller's  sugjjestion 
that  a  student -faculty  committee  be 
created  at  Williams  to  discuss  anti  legislate 
on  all  problems  mutually  concerning 
undergraduates  and  facult)',  highlighted 
the  Williams  Lecture  Committee's  first 
round  table,  yesterday  afternoon  inGriflfin 
Hall.  Many  of  the  fourteen  under- 
graduates present  supported  Mr.  Keller's 
proposal,  dcclaiing  the  committee  would 
15ro\ide  a  much-needed  meeting  ground 
for  student  and  faculty  opinion. 

New  Program  ''Highly  Desirable" 

Professor  Paul  Birdsall,  Dean  llalfdan 
Gregersen,  and  Mr.  Keller  debated  the 
"Theory  ind  Practice  of  Williams  Disci- 
pline" with  undergraduates  for  almost  two 
hours.  With  Robert  F.  Allen  '43,  round 
table  chairman,  leading  the  discussion,  the 
group  reached  the  conclusion  that  the 
undergraduate  body  and  the  faculty  do 
not  at  present  have  mutual  confidence 
over  disciplinary  measures,  and  that  some 
new  program  which  will  create  that  con- 
fidence is  "highly  desirable". 

Comments  on  the  present  system  of 
legislating  and  enforcing  college  rules 
came  from  every  undergraduate  present. 
C.  Frederick  Rudolph,  Jr.  '42  asserted  he 
felt  that  recent  inconsistencies  in  the  en- 
forcement of  college  rules  were  under- 
mining undergraduate  confidence  in  the

108  Students  Attend 
Ground  School  Class 

Over  a  hundred  Bennington  and  Wil- 
liams students  packed  the  lecture  room  of 
the  Thompson  Physical  Laboratory,  Mon- 
day night  in  the  opening  class  of  the  Wil- 
liams Flying  Club's  ground  school.  Mon- 
day's topic,  "Compass  Navigation",  will 
be  continued  in  next  week's  lecture. 

Conducted  in  the  same  manner  as  any 
lecture  course,  flying  club  members  take 
notes  and  are  required  to  do  outside  read- 
ing in  books  that  are  on  reserve  in  the 
Cage.  Instructor  Theordore  Hcrberg,  a 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  C.  A.  A.  instructor  at 
Pittsfield,  announced  at  the  opening  meet- 
ing that  this  course  will  be  completed 
before  the  beginning  of  Christmas  vaca- 
tion. 

As  yet,  the  flying  club  is  still  negotiating 
for  a  flight  instructor.  Until  one  is  ob- 
tained, the  only  flying  at  the  club's  air- 
port will  continue  to  be  done  by  students 
having  solo  or  pilot's  licences. 


Cyrus  N.  Morgan  '42,  presideni  of  the 
rinleri;raduate  Council,  anntJUnced  last 
Moiida\  niglu  ibe  lepeal  of  the  ("ouncil's 
iio-dri\  ins;  law,  al  the  same  time  expressing 
his  disapproval  of  ihe  I',  C.'s  failure  to 
retain  at  least  a  modified  code  of  driving 
regulations.  This  change  in  policy  on  the 
part  of  the  student  governing  body  came 
as  a  result  (jf  (Jas-Coordinator  lekes'  most 
recent  decree  revi'aling  thai  no  i;as  shorl- 
.i^e  exists. 

Council  Split 

.Morgan  ilisclosed  ihal  the  Cinineil 
was  split  on  the  measure,  declaring  that 
one  faction  favors  complete  repeal  of 
driving  restrictions,  while  the  other  bloc 
insisted  upon  retaining  some  sort  of  regula- 
tion. Morgan,  himself,  feels  tli.it  "the  old 
law,  the  way  il  was,  w.is  just  about  right," 
pointing  out  Ihe  fact  thai  the  law  was  not 
unpopular  with  students,  while  at  the 
same  time  it  succeeded  in  solvini;  certain 
pertinent  problems  involvini;  parking 
and  congestion. 

The  president  of  the  Council  declared 
that  if  a  law  was  fin.ally  decided  upon,  it 
must  be,  above  all,  practical,  saying  that 
he  would  "much  rather  see  unrestricted 
driving  than  halfway  measures  that  would 
be  difficult  to  enforce." 

The  bloc  opposing  re])eal  fei'ls  that  the 
retainment  ot  the  regulations  would  serve 
as  a  wedge  that  minhl  open  up  an  entire 
new  system  of  student  governmenl.  These 
men  point  out  that  if  the  Council  could 
secure  the  necessary  authority  to  enforce 
the  law  itself,  instead  of  submilling 
it  to  the  Dean's  Office,  it  would  be 
taking  the  first  step  toward  a  slroiig  and 
practicable  student  governmenl. 

'44  Seeks  Driving  Permission 

The  revival  of  the  issue  has  resiilled  in 
agitation  among  the  sophomores  lo  presi'ut 
a  bid  for  driving  |)ermission.  .'\l  a  nieel- 
ing  Tuesda\  niglil,  Robcliff  Jones  '44, 
president  of  the  class,  appoinle<l  a  ihree- 
nian  committee  to  attempt  to  discover  ihe 
flaws  in  the  propo.sed  scheme  before  any 
further  action  is  taken,  and  lo  feel  out  the 
attitude  of  ihe  trustees  on  the  situation 
in  order  lo  make  sure  thai  any  move  will 
not  cause  a  limitation  upon  the  privileges 
of  uppcrclassmen. 


Hunke  Notes  Dushkin's  'Sensational  Digitry' 
In  Recital  Surveying  250  Years  of  Music 

l>y  Waihiek  G.  Hunkk  '42 
Thursday  night's  audience  in  the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre  heard  a  violin  recital 
by  Samuel  Dushkin.  tlu'  first  in  the  l'Ml-42  series  of  ten  'Thompson  Concerts. 
'The  program  was  realh'  ideal  in  content  since  it  surveyed  a  period  of  about  two 
hundred  and  fifly  years  in  musical  history.  Such  variety  is  the  (miy  proper  type  of 
recital  for  a  college  audience;  and  besides  being  varied,  il  was  rich  in  good  music. 


Begins  With  "Devil's  Trill" 

Not  always  up  to  the  ((uality  of  his 
program,  Mr.  Dushkin  nevertheless  tlis- 
played  noticeable  skill  on  several  occasions 
during  the  evening.  He  began  with  the 
"Devil's  Trill"  Sonata  of  Giuseppe 
Tartini.  Historically,  it  was  the  most 
ancient  piece  on  the  program  and  musically 
it  was  the  least  engrossing.  As  Mr. 
Dushkin  pointed  out  in  a  discussion 
Thursday  afternoon,  the  "Devil's  Trill" 
is  a  prime  example  of  an  eighteenth  century 
"pyrotechnics"  display  on  the  violin. 
As  performed  'Thursday  night,  it  was  just 
that  and  often  so  much  so,  that  Mr. 
Dushkin  sacrificed  accuracy  of  pitch  for 
sensational  digitry.  His  bow  stpieaked 
often,  but  we  may  thank  the  AM'T'S 
perfect  acoustics  for  the  not-to-be-heard 
noises. 

Dushkin  Best  with  Brahms 

Mr.  Dushkin  was  at  his  best  in  the 
Adagio  movement  of  the  Brahms  Sonata 
in  D  Minor.  Throughout  the  work  he 
shared  the  honors  with  his  accompanist, 
Erich  Iter  Kahn,  and  often  the  capability 
of  Brahms  pianoforte  dimmed  the  capabil- 
ity of  the  violinist.  Yet,  in  the  Adagio  it 
was  Mr.  Dushkin's  complete  recognition 


of  the  value  of  quietude  thai  made  the 
performance  almost  memorable.  Il  was 
the  most  highly  .sensitive  interpretation 
in  the  whole  program.  As  nmst  often  be 
the  case  whenever  this  sonata  is  played, 
the  odil  syncopation  in  the  third  move- 
ment confused  the  larger  part  of  the  audi- 
ence until  both  violin  and  piano  dis- 
continued displacing  notes  wdiich  seemed 
misplaced  when  they  were  being  plaxed. 

Accompanist  Excellent 

n'he  remainder  of  the  program  consisted 
of  Mendelssohn's  Concerto  in  K  Minor, 
during  which  Mr.  Dushkin  was  applauded 
warmly  after  the  first  movement;  two 
familiar  Hungarian  Dances  also  by 
Brahms  (Numbers  1  and  4);  a  brilliant 
Debussy  minuet;  the  Spanish  Dance  from 
De  Falla's  "La  Vida  Breve";  a  Habenera 
by  Ravel;  and  finally  a  Russian  Dance 
from  the  Stravinsky  ballet  "Pelrouchka". 
Mr.  Dushkin  received  more  applause  as 
his  program  grew  more  familiar,  of  course, 
but  that  should  not  be  considered  as  a 
deformation  of  his  capabilities  as  a  virtu- 
ous«.  Mr.  Kahn,  at  the  piano,  deserved 
every  bit  of  appreciation  he  got.

Letters  to  Editors 


Need  for  \e\v  Slutlenl  (ioveriiineiil 

Tiii'ii'  lias  been  a  growing  senliinent  at  Williain.s  for  a  new  kind  of 
.shidiiil  gDveriiiiieiil,  Tiiis  sentiment  ha.s  .sprung  from  the  lack  of 
racnlty-stiidenl  confidence  and  iiiider.standing  in  the  cutting  controversy 
of  hist  year,  il  has  .sprung,  niore  recently,  from  Monday  niglit'.s  meeting 
of  the  I'lKh'rgradnate  Council  when  that  l)ody  displayed  .some  of  the 
weaknesses  of  lis  oiganization :  The  doubt  about  Ihe extent  of  its authorit.v 
,'iiid  icspoiisibilily,  ihe  doubt  iil)oul  how  much  rei)ie.sentation  of  opinion 
and  ho 
vote 

That  Ihe  piesenl  form  of  government  at  Williams  makes  no  room  for  the 
miilnai  adjnslmenl  of  sliideiit-facnlty  problems,  and  that  the  Under- 
grailnate  ('oiineil  lacks  autbority,  initiative,  and  responsibility, 

II  Overhauling'  the  U.  C. 

.Vmong  Ihe  suggestions  that  were  aired  at  the  round  table  on  discipline 
yesterday  aftci'iioon  was  that  of  overhauling  the  Undergraduate  Council 
to  overcome  the  current  objections  to  the  nature  of  our  government. 
This  is  an  approximation  of  that  jjroposal: 

1,  The  .social  units  .shall  elect  to  the  U,C.,  men  who  shall  l)e  "leaders 
and  not  Gallup  Polls,"  who  will  decide  on  questions  and  matters  of 
legislation  as  men  with  qualified  opinions  and  not  as  men  taking  polls  of 
oj)inion  in  their  organizations, 

2,  A  coniinittce  of  the  U,C.  will  meet  regularly  with  members  of 
the  faculty  for  the  di.scii.ssion  of  mutual  problems. 

3,  The  College  Oi.scipline  Committee  (now  coinpos?d  of  a  majority 
of  faculty  members  plus  the  presidents  of  the  U.C.  and  S.A.C.)  will  be 
composed  einially  of  faculty  and  students.  Four  of  each,  the  four  stu- 
dents to  lie  elected  from  the  IJ.C.  by  its  members, 

4,  The  IT,C,  .shall  assume  the  responsibility  of  enforcement  of  rules 
and  its  own  legislation. 

III  Is  Not  Enough 

There  are  a  number  of  good  reasons  why  overhauling  the  U.C,  would 
not  go  far  enough  in  this  matter  of  getting  effective  government  at 
Williams,  Not  every  house  can  guarantee  a  leader  every  year,  and  the 
best  kind  of  government  df)es  not  consciously  provide  for  dead  weight. 
(Choosing  legislators  for  the  college  on  a  house  basis,  moreover,  is  un- 
natural. The  representative,  in  s|)ite  of  the  iucentions  of  the  law, 
would  always  have  to  reckon  with  his  liousc  allegiance  because  of  the 
nature  of  his  election.  The  U.C,  is  too  big  a  body;  it  reminds  one  of  the 
Congress  of  the  United  States — which  has  succeeded  increasingly  in 
showing  how  to  get  in  the  way  of  decision  and  action.  Moreover,  the 
U.C.  has  not  the  confidence  of  the  faculty  —  a  serious  consideration  if 
we  are  to  have  student  govermnent  with  authority.  Nor,  after  Monday's 
meeting,  has  it  the  undivided  confidence  of  the  .student  body.  It  has  not 
Ihe  confidence  of  its  own  members.  In  other  words,  its  tradition  is  weak 
—  so  weak  that  a  new  start  offers  the  best  ])rospects  of  effective  govern- 
ment. 

IV     A  New  Slarl 

On  the  l)asis  of  suggestions  made  at  the  round  table,  the  following 
form  of  new  government  is  suggested  as  a  pattern  with  which  the  college 
community  could  work  in  setting  up  a  government  without  the  flaws  of 
the  present  V.C.  or  without  the  disadvantages  that  would  bo  retained  in 
an  overhauled  V.C 

1,     Each   social  unit   .shall   elect,   as  now,  a  representative  to  an 
Undergraduate  Council  which  will  deal  merely  with  hou.se  matters  like 
pledging,  lion.se  parties,  etc.     This  body  can  legi-ilate  only  in  matters  | 
solely  related  to  the  functioning  of  the  social  system, 

'ollege  government  shall  be  in  the  hands  of  a  ten-man  committee   student  govfrning  Irady,    A  compromise 
equally  .selected  from  faculty  and  students,  the  members  to  discu.ss  and  |  ^^'th  tiiciuiministration  wlicieliy  wo  wouid 
legislate  on  matters  of  mutual  concern.     The  enforcement  of  that  legi.sla-  '  p''""-^"''^'^'  for  'xaniple,  no  student  dilving 
lion  is  lo  lie  in  the  handsof  the  eoinmittee,  which  is  to  be  headed  by  that 
senior  receiving  the  most  votes  under  the  .system  of  flection  described 
below, 

3.  The  student  members  of  the  committee  are  to  he  elected,  under 
Ihe  No  Deal  .Vgreenient,  and  are  to  be  three  seniors,  one  junior,  and  one 
.sophomore.  Men  can  lie  put  in  nomination  by  petitions  signed  liy  a 
specified  miinher  of  mcinliers  of  their  own  class.  Every  undergraduate 
is  entiileil  to  vote  on  election  day  for  three  .seniors,  one  junior,  and  one 
sopliomore  from  a  ballot  made  up  of  all  boiui  fide  nominees.  Elections 
are  lo  take  place  at  a  definite  jiolling  place, 

1.  The  commit  tee  will  call  college  meetings,  on  its  own  volition,  and 
on  the  petition  of  a  specified  luimber  of  undergraduates  or  faculty  niem- 


7'i/  III!'  Editor  of  the  |{k<'ohi); 

1  have  a  proposal  in  mind  w  liich  I  would 
enjoy  sccin;;  propagandized  liy  your  paper. 
It  is  really  a  minor,  insigiiifirant  proposal, 

w   much   leadcr.shii)  of  opinion   .should  go  into  a  U.C,   memlier's  "'^''""Sh   it  is   hardly   more  insignificant 

,     ,  ■    .   .      .  ■  i.      ,      I  than  the  subject  to  whieh  jt  refers.     My 

I  use  arr  serious  ciiicstions,  and  t  ley  nomt  to  two  .serious  tacts:   ■,      •   .      ,  .,  f    ,._  n    i 

'  •'    '  idea  IS  to  change  the  name  ol  our  Under- 

graduate Council  from  the  "I!.  C."  to  the 
"H.  C."  The  "H"  stands  for  "House- 
party,"  which,  bcsitles  t)eing  the  only  word 
that  is  relevant  to  inulergraduate  govern- 
ment anymore,  is  a  pleasant  and  dream\- 
term  anyway.  .Since  last  Monday  our 
council  has  become  the  judge  on  such 
matters  as  what  girls  may  be  trusted  in 
student  bedrooms,  who  will  sell  corsages 
to  Amherst  weekend  guests,  and  how 
many  petals  a  three-dollar  orchid  should 
have.  I  imagine  that  the  Council  will 
debate  the  latter  point  because  there  is 
nothing  else  to  discuss  anymore  uidess  it 
be  announcements  of  pledging.  There  is 
no  longer  any  desire  to  determine  what  is 
sensible  on  the  Williams  campus  and  what 
is  not.  For  last  Monday  evening  the 
"Houseparty  Council,"  after  a  harrowing 
and  forceful  discussion,  repealed  its  no- 
driving-in-Williamstown  law.  Just  as  it 
had  created  the  rule  largely  because  of 
faculty  pressure,  it  abolished  it  because  of 
faculty  pressure  of  a  different  \ariety  As 
soon  as  Secretary  Ickes  cleared  up  the  gas 
shortage,  our  professors  no  longer  cared 
whether  Williams  men  sa\'ed  gas  or  drank 
it.  But  the  symbol  of  Mr.  Newhall  is 
somehow  teriifying  to  the  student  con- 
science, and  just  for  s|)ite  the  Houseparty 
Council  repealed  the  no-driving  law.  As 
early  as  the  next  morning  it  w^'s  legal  for  i 
certain  senior  to  park  his  station-wagon  in 
front  of  the  library  at  8:00  a.  m..  in  front 
of  the  P  O.  at  10:00  and  outside  Lawrence 
at  11:00! 

In  a  word,  Williams  motorized  citizenry 
is  reactionary  —  a  term  we  hiss  in  history 
and  political  science  classes.  I  would 
venture  to  hiss  it  right  now.  To  think 
that  the  Undergraduate  Council  itself  was 
the  cause  of  it  is  to  conclutle  immediately 
that  our  stu;lent  government  has  passed 
up  a  golden  opportunity  to  correct  a  cam- 
pus trait  that  is  becoming  a  disease. 
Granting  that  the  law  as  it  stood  was  de- 
serving of  repeal  purely  as  a  matter  of 
principle.  But  why  should  the  action 
stop  there?  1  would  advocate  a  nego- 
tiation with  the  administration  itself  in 
order  to  procure  for  the  Undergraduate 
Council  complete  responsibility  concerning 
student  driving.  I  would  like  to  see  the 
undergraduates,  themselves,  havethe  power 
of  determining  whether  or  not  a  man  on 
no-cuts  or  probation  shall  drive.  With 
this  authority  in  its  own  hands,  the  Under- 
,  graduate  Council   could   really  become  - 


m  town  e.vcept  on  weekends,  might  give  us 
the  aforementioned  authority  and  resjion- 
sibility.  This  idea  probably  sounds  rev- 
olutionary to  the  motorized  reactionaries, 
but  I  maintain  tlv.it  it  would  be  a  far 
strongei  assertion  of  student  government 
th-in  just  plain  "repeal".  The  Council 
will  haidly  bother  to  act  on  my  suggestion, 
however,  so  once  more  I  ask  you,  Mr, 
Editor,  to  iiropagandize  my  original  re- 
quest concerning  the  Houseparty  Council, 
And  by  the  way,  how  many  petals  do  you 
think  a  three-dollar  orchid  should  have?

V     UpoTi  Which  To  Think,  Act 

The  plan  iiropo.scd  above,  it  .should  be  made  clear,  is  suggested  as  a 
pattern  on  which  undergraduates  and  faculty  could  now  direct  their 
thinking.  It  leaves  many  mailers  still  undefined;  there  are  a.spects  that 
will  be  questioned  by  faculty  and  students  and  by  both.  We  offer  it, 
nonetlieless,  as  .somelhing  to  begin  with  in  this  job  of  repairing  student 
government  and  student -faciilly  relations  at  Williams. 

There  are  many  reasons  why  this  plan  commends  itself.  Although 
its  method  of  elections  is  unlike  anytiiing  now  in  ii.se  at  Williams,  it  is  a 
system  which  will  provide  for  entliu.siasm  and  responsibility  in  the  elec- 
tion of  .student  governors.  It  provides,  through  nominating  petitions 
and  an  all-college  election,  for  .serious  attention  to  the  qualifications  of 
men.  It  |)nts  government  on  a  college  plane  rather  than  on  a  social 
unit  jiiane.  It  provides  for  a  meeting  ground  of  students  and  faculty. 
It  gives  .students  more  than  .seeming  authority  and  greater  responsibility. 


To  lite  Editor  of  'fan  I^ecord: 

In  the  recent  controversy  raging  in 
Tins  REconn,  it  seems  to  nie  that  the 
functions  of  various  elements  of  the 
college  hav<>  been  confused.  This  be- 
laboring Ihe  upperclassmen  for  not  doing 
more  to  educate  their  younger  friends,  is 
rather  absurd.  One  element  in  the  college 
is  entrusted  with  fostering  intellectual 
attitudes  and  pursuits— the  faculty.  If 
social  groups,  who  arc  now  helping  the 
college  inestimably  by  furnishing  decent 
dining  rnonis  and  lodging  for  the  students, 
do  also  further  the  intellectual  life  here, 
all  honor  to  them;  the  college  -should  be 
and  is,  grateful.  But  it  is  nothing  the 
college  should  scoldingly  demand.

Always  Denounced  Appeasement 

Fischer  studied  the  policies  of  all  the 
leading  Powers  in  the  Western  state 
system,  and  foresaw  the  disaster  which 
the  democracies'  impotence  was  making 
inevitable.  He  denounced  the  policy  of 
appeasement  from  its  inception. 

Fischer  went  to  S|)ain  during  the  Civil 
War.  Me  saw  the  Loyalists  fighting 
democracy's  battle,  a  "Holy  War",  and 
joined  the  International  Brigade  to  take 
pait  in  the  battle.  He  watche<l  the  cor- 
rupt democracies  betray  Spain's  cause  and 
their  own  by  the  cowardly  device  of  "non- 
intervention". 

From  the  .Spanish  War  to  the  present, 
Fischer  has  fought  to  make  democracy 
aware  of  its  own  decadence.  He  has 
warned  France,  Britain,  and  now  America 
that  only  by  action,  and  action  imme- 
diately, can  democracy  guarantee  its  right 
to  survi\'e.

administration  of  discipline. 

Charles  H.  Tower  '42  declared  that  many 
undergraduates  want  a  definite  spokcsmiin 
from  the  committee  on  discipline  who  will 
enumerate  the  established  |)enalties  for 
viol  itions  of  certain  rules.  He  added  that 
he  felt  violators  of  the  same  rule  are  now- 
receiving  different  penalties,  creating  in- 
consistencies which  undergraduates  cannot 
understand. 

C.  (iorhani  Philli|'s  '43  said  he  believed 
undergraduates  had  little  confidence  in 
the  administration  of  discipline  because 
disci|)linary  authority  is  not  centralized 
around  one  group  of  men.  lie  noted  that 
the  trustees,  thi'  dean,  the  committee  on 
discipline,  the  Undergraduate  Council,  and 
sometimes  the  president  all  make  rules  or 
e.\ce|)tions  to  them,  and  that  all  seemed  to 
ha\'e  varying  degrees  of  enforcement 
power.  Phillips  added  that  public  state-

White  Oaks  Chapel  Honors  Williams  Founder, 
Prof.  Albert  A.  Hopkins,  in  Anniversary  Fete 

Celebrating  last  Saturday  the  sevenly-fiflh  anniversar\  of  its  establishment,  the 
White  Oaks  Cnngr<>galional  Church  of  Williamslown  honored  .  I'njfi'ssor  Albert 
A.  Hopkins  of  the  Williams  faculty,  the  founder,  for  his  zealous  efforts  that  brought 
about  the  iTeclion  of  the  chapel  in  1860.  The  history  behind  the  present  church 
and  the  closely  knit  ridalions  with  ihe  college  throughout  tlu'  years  form  a 
significaru    part  of  the  religious  activities  and   attitudes  at    V\'illiams. 

Students  Attended  Chapel  Twice  Daily 

Ihe  ri'ligious  compli'xion  of  the  campus 
and  the  c(imnmnil\  while  Prof.  Hopkins 
was  active  is  illustrated  in  the  wcjnls  of 
Addison  Ballard,  class  of  1842:  "All 
studeius  were  re(|uired  to  attend  both 
morning  and  evening  prayers  in  thi'  chapel 
....attendance  was  re(|uired  (jf  all  stu- 
dents at  the  regular  nicaaiing  and  after- 
noon serxices  held  in  the  village  church.  .  . 
Of  the  128  students  in  the  period  18,?8-42, 
fifty-four  either  became  ministers  of  the 
Gospid,  or  became  candiflates  for  the 
ministry." 

During  1864-65  Prof.  Ibjpkins  became 
intensely  interesleil  in  the  While-  Oaks 
district,  a  section  {)f  town  infamous  for  its 
poverty,  degradation,  disregard  for  proper; 
ty  rights,  and  hai'boring  of  a  "fearful 
prevalence  of  vice";  but  he  had  faith  in 
the  power  of  the  (jospi-l  to  reclaim  this 
s(iciel\  . 


Hopkins  Builds  Chapel 

He  fir^l  established  a  Sabbath  Schoiil 
through  which  he  gained  the  lo\c  and 
respect  of  the  people.  'Then,  as  the 
culmination  of  his  efforts,  he  plunged  into 
the  building  of  the  chapel  —  he  made  it  a  \ 
conimuiiit\-  project  and,  keeping  U|)  the 
enthusiasm    of    the    pi'opli',    was    alile    to'  Knu 


complete  the  structure  in  a  short  time. 
Through  the  remaining  \'ears  of  his  life 
Hopkins  acteil  as  pastor  of  the  church; 
folhiwing  his  death  the  pulpit  was  lilled 
by  volunteers  from  the  Willianrs  faculty, 
local  clergymen,  lay-worshippers,  and 
numerous  Sunday-school  teachers  from 
thestudeiU  body.  'To  this  day  the  C(jllege 
and  church  have  thus  maintained  their 
close  relationship;  the  present  pastor, 
Charles  K.  .Monteith  '42,  being  a  member 
of  the  Williams  student  body. 

Mr.  .Monleilh.  with  seven  \cars  of 
seminar\'  stud\  behind  him  before  arriving 
at  Williams,  occupies  the  unique  pi^sition 
of  both  attending  college  classes  and  ex- 
ercising the  duties  of  a  minister  —  preach- 
i[ig  ever\'  Sunda\  ,  leading  a  scout  group, 
conducting  \caing  people's  activities,  and 
s|)iinsoring  a  4-11  gar<len  gr(jup  —  in  his 
spare  time.

Williams  Soccer  Team 
Faces  Hamilton  Eleven 

Line-up     Change     Caused 
By     Loss     of     Forwards 


Crippled  by  the  loss  of  its  two  first- 
string  wings.  Uncle  lid  Hullock's  soccer 
team  will  meet  the  Hamilton  eleven  on 
Cole  Field  tomorrow.  In  spite  of  the 
shifts,  Captain  Joe  Cochran  is  expected 
to  lead  a  victorious  team  from  the  field. 

.\  twisted  knee  and  a  Nipponese  con- 
scription law  have  played  havoc  with  the 
Purple  attack,  the  former  sending  George 
Simson  to  the  showers  for  two  weeks  and 
the  latter  sending  Kiyo  Turumi  back  to 
Japan  for  a  physical  examination.  Bullock 
has  filled  the  gaps  by  putting  Hugh 
Masters  in  at  right  wing,  and  former  full- 
bick  Bruce  Brown,  by  game  time  a  for- 
ward of  full  five  da\s'  experience,  into 
Simson's  left  outside  position. 

Though  the  Williams  booters  beat 
Hamilton's  squad  last  season  and  are 
expected  to  do  so  again  this  year,  the  game 
wmII  be  no  push-over.  The  lack  of  punch 
in  the  Purple  attack  and  the  stellar  pliy- 
ing  of  the  Hamilton  center  half  and  center 
forward,  will  keep  Williams  fighting  to 
ward  off  an  upset. 


FOOTBALL 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
Al  Hearne,  with  Coby  Wilson  and  Kd 
Callahan  at  the  tackles,  and  Mit  Hall  and 
Johnny  Stiegman  filling  the  guard  assign- 
ments. Bill  Courter,  who  has  been  earning 
a  reputation  as  a  pass  intercepliir,  will 
start  at  the  pivot  post. 

Garnet  Has  Won  But  One 

In  the  backlield  with  Hamiock  will  be 
Cy  Morgan,  blocking  back.  Herb  HoKlen, 
powerful  plunger,  and  Bill  .Schmidt  or 
Gunnar  Hayes,  who  made  a  dynamic  debul 
from  the  sick  list  by  scoring  three  limes 
against  Tufts. 

To  date  the  Garnet  has  won  only  a 
single  game,  s(|ueezing  out  a  7-6  decision 
over  Wrmont,  and  falling  before  Middle- 
bury,  Trinity,  Hobart,  and  R.  P.  1.  The 
only  team  that  could  serve  as  a  yardstick 
for  tomorrow's  encounter  is  Middlebury, 
who  nosed  out  Union,  6-0,  and  whom  the 
Purple  shut  out  in  a  33-0  avalanche.

ments  by  disciplinary  authorities,  includ- 
ing explanations  of  unusual  decisions,  and 
more  consistency  in  law  enforcement 
might  help  restore  undergraduate  confi- 
dence. 

Birdsall  Cites  Example  of  Cooperation 
Dean  Gregersen  revealeii  that  he  and 
William  G.  Perry,  assistant  dean,  had 
already  visited  several  fraternities  and 
discussed  college  rules  and  the  adminis- 
tration's enforcement  of  them.  Mr.  Bird- 
sall noted  that  the  Honor  System  Com- 
mittee, which  makes  recommendations  to 
the  committee  on  discipline,  was  one 
example  of  close  cooperation  between 
students  and  faculty  in  enforcing  college 
rules. 


Harriers  Face  Union 
At  Home  Tomorrow 

t)ut  to  do  their  part  to  make  it  a  clean 
sweep  over  Union  foi  the  day,  the  Purple 
harriers  face  the  Garnet  on  the  Taconic 
course,  in  their  only  home  meet  of  the  year, 
at  12:15  tomorrow. 

Led  by  Captain  Bob  C.riggs,  the  Eph- 
men  will  take  t  he  field  as  heavy  favorites  to 
annex  their  second  meet  of  the  year.  The 
Dutchmen,  with  an  unimpressive  record 
behind  tliem,  were  trounced  by  the 
Mid<llebury  Panthers,  while  Williams  has 
recoided  one  \ict()ry  and  one  defeat, 
nosing  out  Middlebury  27-28  and  dropping 
last  week's  encounter  to  \'ermont  by  a 
23-32  count. 

Coach  Tony  Plansky  will  |)robably  field 
the  si'ine  team  which  ran  against  X'ermont, 
and  will  bank  on  Griggs,  Brew  Cha|)man, 
Ken  Moore,  Maurice  Goodl)o<l\'  and  Da\e 
Brown.  Art  Richmond  and  either  Ed 
Sheffield  or  Hack  Neilson  will  probably 
rouiul  out  the  team. 

Charley  Snell,  Bob  Shepherd,  Dick 
Conly,  and  veteran  Reed  will  be  the  big 
guns  for  the  (kirnet,  with  Herb  Adams, 
Jules  Viglienio  and  Bob  lleywood  on  hand 
for  duty.

academic  and  extracurricular  work,  to 
work  with  freshmen.  The  students  In

labor  to  pass  the  flaming  torch  of  leariiinji 
to  the  Miunn  hand  stretched  out  to  grasp 
it? 

The  fraternities  are  primarily  social 
groups,  nor  is  that  statement  an  accusa- 
tion. There  are  ways  in  which  they  can 
and  should  better  the  life  at  Williams; 
those  ways  are  social  ways.  The  problem 
of  drinking  is  one  which  nnglit  well  be 
handled  by  the  fraternities.  The  morale 
of  the  student  body  is  largely  in  their 
hands;  the  business  of  friendship.  They 
were  never  founded  as  int<'ll(ctual  groups; 
they  are  doing  a  great  service  lo  the  college, 
which  is  dependent  on  them  I'lr  living 
quarters  and  dining  rooms  for  the  majority 
of  the  students.  It  is  wonderful  that  the\- 
help  their  freshmen  as  they  do.  We,  the 
faculty,  nia\-  well  shoulder  the  burden 
w-hich  is  rightly  ours,  of  pnjclucing  well- 
trained  and  alert  minds.

■  Student  Leaders 
Advocate  Revision 
Of  Governing  Body 

I  Two  Faculty  Members 
Also  Favor  New  Plan 
Of      Stronger      Council 


by  Gkorob  Y.  Nehiibah  '44 

riiree  uiulergraduate   leaders  and   two 

I  iiiciiiticrs  of  the  faculty  Sunday  expresBod 

iiureement,  at  least  in  part,  with  the  plan 

I  for  revising  the  Undergraduate  Council  as 

|iut    forth    in    the    Friday   issue   of  Thk 

Kf.<<)K1),  while  one  faculty  member    and 

one    undergraduate    went    on     record    as 

I  fa\()ring  the  present  system. 

In  statements  released  yesterday  to  The 

Ki;<(inu,  David  K.    Peet,  member  of   the 

linilergraduate  Council  and  President  of 

I  the   Student   Activities   Council,   Herbert 

llolden,   also   a    member   of   the   Under- 

I  graduate    Council,    Charles    II.    Tower, 

manager   of    varsity   football,    Ehvyn    L. 

Perry,  associate  professor  of  geology,  and 

I'homas  J.  Wood,  IJirector  of  Admissions, 

I  favored  a  proposed  plan  whereby  a  smaller 

(•\ecutive    committee   conipose<l    of    five 

I  stuilents  and  five  faculty  members  would 

liMiidle  matters  of  mutual  interest. 

Cyrus    N.    Morgan,    President    of    the 

I'ndergraduate    Council,     and     Allyn     J. 

Waterman,  assistant  professor  of  biology, 

I  are    not    dissatisfied    with    the    jiresent 

arrangement. 

U.  C.  Head  Gives  Opinion 

Said  Morgan  yesterda>',  "I  sec  no  reason 

I  lo    change    the    present     Untlcrgraduatc 

Council.     The  II.  C.  did,  however,  lose  its 

liiggesl  opportunity  to  ojien  up  a  whole 

I  new   field  of  student  government  when  it 

liled  to  retain  the  driving  law  under  new 

I  principles." 

lleixpressed  the  view  that  had  the  U.  C. 
etaiiied  the  driving  ban  faculty  respect 
would  have  increased  and  greater  powers 
for  the  Undergraduate  Council  would 
probably  have  resulted.  Waterman,  in 
f.ivoring  the  existing  "representative" 
sysleni,  stated  that  legislation  could  be 
I  f.icilitated  by  use  of  committee  investi- 
gation. 

Peet  '42  Favors  Plan 
Said  Peet  in  favor  of  the  "new  start" 
plan,  "I  think  the  idea  advanced  by  Mr. 
Keller,  of  having  a  small  executive  com- 
mittee would  work  very  well,  es|)ecially 
through  my  experience  with  the  .SAC. 

"In  the  executive  committee  of  that 
liixly  the  three  faculty  members,  who  are 
appointed  for  a  term  of  three  years,  add 
I  lie  necessary  continuity  to  the  student 
policy.  The  smaller  governing  body 
within  the  U.  C.  would  undoubtedly  be 
ini}i('  adaptable  to  policy  formation. 
'It's  fairly  evident",  said  Poet,  "that 
1  time  is  no  authority  now.  The  only 
i|iiistion  in  my  mind  is  whether  increased 
I  stmlent  government  would  be  suitable  to 
tile  faculty  and  trustees,  especially  in 
connection  with  the  car  problem."

Williams  Has  Own  Kindhearted  Quasimodo 
Ringing  Bells  in  Thompson  Memorial  Chapel 

Quasimodo  MacGruer  '43,  at  times  one  of  Williams'  most  cursed  undergraduates, 
pulls  himself  up  the  steep  stairs  of  the  Thompson  Memorial  Chapel  almost  every 
morning  to  make  8:00  a.m.  music  fi.r  the  college  and  to  warn  all  good  students  that 
the  time  of  judgement  has  come.  Not  quite  stone  deaf ,  MacGruer  has  the  same 
kind  heart  shown  in  Victor  Hugo's  character  since  he  always  waits  until  the  latest 
possible  moment  before  reminding  the  campus  of  the  awful  truth. 
Never  Missed  A  Morning  * 

MacGruer     tolls     out     an     8:00    a.m 


melody  on  every  weekday  morning  except 
Mondays  when  his  assistant  takes  over. 
To  date  Senior  Bell  Kinger  MacGruer 
has  yet  to  miss  one  of  these  four  and  three 
(fuarter  minute  recitals.  However,  his 
noonday  record  of  chiming  is  not  un- 
blemished. One  time  a  fa.st  chrcmometer 
resulted  in  his  letting  all  "eleven  o'clocks" 
out  ten  minutes  ahead  of  time.  On  that 
single  occasion  he  didn't  follow  the  usual 
system  of  wailing  twenty  seconds  after  the 
campus-wide  buzzer  system  which  dis- 
misses classes  had  rung. 

Ten  Bells  Chime  Out 
Modern  conveniences  remove  the  neces- 
sity of  MacGruer's  swinging  on  the  bells 


AMT  Production  Heads 
Announced  by  Michael 

Set     Will     Be     Completed 
For    Monday    Rehearsal 


Although  all  the  members  of  the  cast 
are  letting  their  hair  grow,  the  production 
end  of  Cap  and  Bells  is  allowing  no  grass 
to  sprout  under  its  feet  in  preparation  for 
the  Shakespearean  comedy  Much  Ado 
A  bout  Nothing  to  be  presentetl  on  Amherst 
weekend. 

James  E.  Michael,  Assistant  Director  of 
the  AMT,  announced  yesterday  that  the 
one  unit  set,  designed  by  Dion  A.  Hoy  '43, 
would  be  completed  and  painted  about  the 
middle  of  this  week.  This,  he  went  on, 
will  enable  the  lighting  crew  to  practice  in 
anticipation  of  the  first  dress  rehearsal 
next  Monday. 

Barrow  Composes  Music 

Michael  declared  that  they  are  going  "to 
use  the  cyclorama  to  its  fullest,  even  more 
than  in  Marco  Millions,  while  the  side 
extensions  will  also  be  employed  for  the 
first  time." 

Music  for  the  play  has  been  composed 
by  Robert  G.  Barrow,  Assistant  Professor 
of  Music,  and  it  is  now  being  recorded  by 
the  William.sto\vn  Syiuphony  Orchestra 
under  the  direction  of  Joaquin  Nin-Cul- 
mell.  Instructor  in  Music. 

Michael  stated  that  Trevor  A.  Hoy  '43, 
Joe  M.  Pohlzon  '44,  and  Thomas  R. 
Fowler  '43  arc  designing  the  scenery, 
costumes,  and  make-up,  respectively. 
Other  heads  of  departments,  he  added,  are 
Bruce  V.  Brown  '43,  Scene  Technician; 
John  M.  .Spencer  '44,  Scene  Construction; 
J.  Spencer  Dickenson  '42,  Propetties; 
Edwin  H.  Stubc  '44,  .Sound  Technician; 
Charles  \V.  Benfield,  Jr.  '43,  Costumes; 
Theodore  K.  Carter  '42,  Production  Man- 
ager; and  Andrews  D.  Black  '43,  Stage 
Manager. 


I  Texas  Pappies  Bust  Their  Bankrolls 
For  Honey  Chile's  Boots  and  Beanies 

by  William  C.  Brewer  '43 
Go  West,  young  man,  go  West— there's  sure  gold  in  them  there  hills  if  glil:tering 
Texas  co-eds  can  average  $768  apiece  per  year  on  clothes.  Design  For  Living's 
C.  B.  I.  (we  mean  campus  bureau  of  investigation),  a  super-duper,  nose-to-the- 
I'lnny,  Fourth  Avenue,  espionage  organization,  is  willing  to  vouch  for  this  strain 
"11  Texas  pappies,  as  well  as  for  other  rare   tidbits  about  our  Young  Modoms  — 

pardon  us  —  Moderns. 

Average  Co-ed  Spends  $240.33  * 


Miss  Average  Co-ed,  though  less  of  a 
Kolden  chariot  than  her  Texas  sister, 
planks  down  $240.33  each  year  for  sarongs 
and  other  exterior  equipment,  if  C.  B.  I.'s 
ranking  sleuths  have  put  the  finger  on  the 
figure.  And  well  they  may  have.  All 
along  the  waterfront,  from  Smith  to  Iowa 
"■,  from  Bryn  Mawr  to  Oregon  State, 
fclentlcss  agents  have  been  tracking  down 
I'iich  morsel  of  fact  about  our  chicker, 
chic  —  collegicnnes,  according  to  the 
latest  release  from  Fourth  Avenue. 

Bar*  Leg*  Brav*  Blaita 

These  hordes  of  feminine  dicks  have 
unearthed  other  salient  facts  —  about 
bare  legs,  for  instance.  A  goodly  number 
"'  the  girls  are  now  "baring  legs  in  ankle 


socks  despite  wintry  blasts,"  while  others, 
more  industrious  or  less  popular,  "take 
time  out  from  patriotic  'bundling'  to  knit 
their  own."  Other  co-eds,  on  campuses 
presumably  nearer  Williamstown,  find 
rubber  boots  appropriate  footwear. 

The  hat  situation  is  also  on  the  up-and- 
up,  C.  B.  I.  snoopettes  find.  "Dickeys 
are  definitely  in,  while  big  hats  collect 
dust ..."  is  the  report.  Besides  dickeys, 
beanies,  baseball  skullies,  pill  boxes,  baby 
bonnets,  and  ear  muffs  really  rate  with 
gals  "in  the  know." 

Further  garment-to-garment  tabulation 

reveals  that  southern  girls  are  going  for 

cffiminate  formals"  in  a  big  way,  while

himself.  Instead,  a  keyboard  made  up  of 
five-foot  levers  attached  to  the  ten  bells 
above  is  the  method  employed.  Even 
with  this  improvement  over  the  old  body 
contact  system  playing  a  few  verses  of 
a  tune  is  work  out  enough  for  any  man — 
especially  at  the  daybreak  hours  that  the 
task  demands. 

Jazz  Playing  Out 

Whether  Williams  is  aware  of  the  fact 
or  not  its  carolons  chose  their  selections 
with  the  utmost  discrimination.  Gloomy 
Sunday,  the  piece  that  caused  a  half 
dozen  Austrians  to  commit  suicide,  is  the 
number  played  on  big  houseparty  week- 
ends before  evening  vespers  while  High 
Ho,  High  Ho,  It's  Back  to  Work  We  Go 
is  featured  on  the  following  morning's 
program.  The  more  varied  repetoire  of 
"the  good  old  days"  has  long  been  done 
away  with  in  answer  to  the  somewhat 
justifiable  objections  of  townsfolk  con- 
cerning jazz  peeling  from  the  chapel  tower. 

After  every  Little  Three  football  game 
on  Cole  field,  provided  the  Purple  is 
victorious,  the  chimes  are  played  in  cele- 
bration. First  tune  is  always  The 
Mountains,  followed  by  other  Williams 
songs.  This  custom  was  started  in  1907 
when  the  bells  were  installed  and  has  been 
carried  on  ever  since. 

No  Bats  in  BeUry 

In  regard  to  the  status  quo  of  things  in 
the  belfry  MacGruer  reports  that  "every- 
thing is  just  dandy"  meaning  there  are  no 
bats  or  pigeons  bothering  the  tones,  no 
bolts  that  need  lightening,  nor  any  bells 
that  are  on  the  verge  of  descending.  His 
only  difficulty  was  experienced  with 
workmen  last  Fall  who  were  repairing 
the  spire  that  had  been  damaged  in  a 
thunder  storm.  They  insisted  on  rapping 
the  bells  with  hammers  upon  ascending 
and  descending  to  and  from  the  job. 
MacCiruer's  tolling  out  in  E  flat,  the  most 
potent  bell  in  his  set,  temporarily  deafened 
the  masons  and  permanently  remedied  the 
trouble.

Fischer  to  Discuss  3 

War  Leaders  Thursday 


This  fall's  lirst  big  lecture  will  get  under 
way  Thursday  evening  at  7:45  in  Jcsup 
Hall  when  Louis  Fischer,  brilliant  author 
of  Men  and  Politics,  talks  on  "Churchill, 
Stalin,  Hitler." 

The  Lecture  Committee  has  scheduled 
the  Fischer  address  for  Jesup,  but  it  is 
expected  that  the  size  of  the  audience  may 
force  a  removal  to  Chapin  Hall.  Fischer's 
renown  as  an  analyst  of  the  post-Ver- 
sailles international  crisis  plus  the  time- 
liness of  his  subject  will  probably  draw 
crowds  from  all  over  the  Berkshires,  the 
Committee  feels.

'Robbed'  Cries  Adelphic 
Union  When  Lone  Qirl 
Judge  Decides  Debate 

'There  just  ain't  no  more  justice  left  in 
the  world.'  Hitler  is  still  winning  the  war; 
the  D<Klgers  lost  the  series;  and,  according 
to  the  latest,  two  very  earnest  Williams 
debaters  were  the  victims  of  very  foul 
play  at  Harvard  last  week. 

It  seems  that  Adelphic  Unioners  Jay 
Nicrenberg  '42  and  Tom  Walsh  '44  jour- 
neyed to  Cambridge  last  Thursday  to  do 
battle  in  perfectly  good  faith  with  the 
Crimson  word  manglers  on  the  issue  of 
public  control  of  conmiunications.  I'hever- 
bal  tussle  was  to  be  sent  out  over  the  air 
waves  from  a  Cambridge  radio  station. 
Although  the  actual  judges  for  the  debate 
had  not  been  previously  revealed  to  the 
Williams  team,  the  purple  orators  anti- 
cipated two  or  three  Harvard  faculty 
members  well-versed  in  the  general  issues 
of  the  topic  under  discussion.  This  is  the 
usual  procedure  in  such  affairs. 

Instead,  however,  Messrs.  Nierenberg 
and  Walsh  were  very  casually  informed 
two  minutes  before  air  time  by  their 
affable  Harvard  hosts  that  one  of  the 
Harvard  fellows'  girl  friends  from  Radcliff 
had  graciously  consented  to  officiate. 
During  the  debate  the  young  lady  evi- 
dently became  very  bored  with  the  weighty 
verbal  pyrotechnics  and  walked  out  on  her 
boy  friend  ten  minutes  before  finis  had 
been  written  to  the  argument  not  neglect- 
ing, however,  to  leave  a  little  note  indi- 
cating 'whom  she  liked  best.' 

After  the  final  negative  rebuttal  had 
been  presented,  the  announcer  picked  up 
Milady's  slip  of  paper,  perused  itfaithfully, 
and,  weighing  his  words,  declared  that  the 
Harvard  team  had  won  the  debate  "by  the 
unanimous  decision  of  the  judges". 


A  Christian's  choice  in  this  war  is  not 
between  an  evil  war  and  a  good  peace,  but 
between  the  two  evils  of  a  war  and  a 
Hitler  dominated  peace,  stated  College 
Chaplain  A.  Grant  Noble  in  the  chapel 
sermtm  yesterday  evening.  A  peace  under 
Nazi  control  is  the  worse  of  these  two  evils, 
he  continued. 


Campus  police  at  Yale  have  been  forced 
lo  remove  all  keys  left  in  dormitory  doors 
ever\'  Saturday,  since  professional 
thieves  posing  as  .students  from  other 
colleges  have  been  cleaning  out  Eli  ro(mis 
this  Fall.  In  one  case  tickets  to  a  foot- 
ball game  on  the  following  Saturdaj'  were 
stolen  and  resold  in  New  York. 


Announcing  the  results  of  a  poll  taken 
by  a  leading  advertising  concern,  WMS 
revealed  thai  although  students  don't 
listen  lo  the  radio  very  often,  when  they 
do  listen,  they  listen  to  WMS.  The  poll 
also  showed  that  Williams  undergraduates 
prefer  light  classical  music  to  all  other 
types.

Williams  Pilots  Wait 
For  State  Approval 

With  the  obtaining  of  Richard  Petras  of 
Bennington,  Vt.,  last  week  as  flight  in- 
structor for  the  Williams  Flying  Club, 
John  T.  Tuttle  '42,  president  of  that 
organization,  announced  that  the  approval 
of  the  airport  is  the  only  thing  preventing 
the  club's  giving  flight  instruction. 

In  a  letter  of  a  month  ago  the  state 
director  of  aviation,  John  W..Lasell  '20, 
said  he  was  anxious  to  inspect  the  club's 
field  at  his  "earliest  convenience."  Since 
no  word  has  been  heard  from  him  since, 
Tuttle  wrote  again  last  week  urging  him  to 
come  as  soon  as  possible. 

Instructor  Petras  who  has  been  giving 
flying  lessons  at  the  Bennington  airport 
has  1200  hours  of  flying  time  to  his  credit, 
most  of  which  was  obtained  through  in- 
structing. Since  he  has  recently  com- 
pleted a  government  "refresher  course" 
which  includes  training  in  heavy  planes 
he  will  be  able  to  instruct  at  Williams  only 
until  a  government  position  is  available 
to  him.

Paced  by  game-captain  Marsh  liannock, 
the  Williams  football  team  statistically 
massacred  a  stubborn  Union  eleven  Satur- 
day afternoon,  but  was  held  by  rain  and 
muck  to  a  mere  13-0  victory.  Pierced  by 
two  lightning  touchdown  thrusts  in  the 
opening  quarter,  the  Dutchmen  appeared 
to  be  in  for  another  mauling  in  their  long 
string  of  1941  whitewashings,  but  the 
Garnet  dropped  mud  anchor  and  checked 
the  Ephs  four  more  times  within  paydirt 
territory. 

Purple  Attacks  Halted 

The  Eph  offense  rolled  over  the  Dutch- 
men in  the  initial  period  lo  rack  up  two 
touchdowns  within  as  many  minutes. 
But  when  the  field  had  been  churned  to  a 
quagmire,  Williams  was  halted  three  times 
within  the  visitors'  KS-yard  line  by  a 
plucky  Union  defense  and  a  steady  deluge 
that  made  passing  too  dangerous  an<l 
effective  broken-field  running  almost  im- 
possible. 

Schmidt,  Hearne  Score 

The  first  time  Williams  ha<l  the  ball, 
liannock,  llolden  and  .Schmidt  drove  .S.S 
yards  to  the  Union  \S  in  six  plays,  but  the 
Garnet  stiffened  and  took  possession. 
Piatt  kicked  to  the  42,  and  on  the  third 
play  Williams  scored  its  first  touch.lown. 
Bill  Schmidt  dropped  back  to  pass,  dis- 
covered a  hole,  and  behind  the  beautiful 
downfield  blocking  of  Powers  and  lian- 
nock dashed  58  yards  to  score  standing  up. 
Mil  Hall  converted  and  Williams  kicked 
off. 

Within  two  minutes,  the  score  was  13-0 
as  Williams  completed  its  first  aerial  for 
another  touchdown.  Herb  Holden  faded 
to  his  28,  fired  an  electrifying  pass  over 
the  heads  of  the  defending  Dutchmen  to 
Al  Hearne,  who  raced  40  yards  for  the 
tally.  Hall's  attempt  for  the  point  sailed 
wide. 

Williams  threatened  again  when,  with 
Hayes  and  Holden  alternating,  they  drove 
to  the  Union  12,  where  Lee  Sherman 
grounded  a  fourth-down  pass  intended  for 
Hearne  in  the  end  zone. 

Courier's  Play  Stands  Out 

The  first  five  minutes  of  the  second  half 
was  three-man  affair  between  Sherman  and 
Enstice  of  Union  and  Courter  of  Williams. 
On  the  initial  play  following  the  kick-off 
Sherman  plunged  6  yards  and  was  tackled 
by  the  Williams  center.  Sherman  then 
drove  for  2,  again  being  stopped  Ijy  Cour- 
ter. Then  Enstice  tried  his  hand  at 
breaking  through  the  middle  of  the  Eph 
forward  will,  only  to  be  downed  by  Cour- 
ter after  a  one  yard  gain.  There  was 
nothing  for  the  exasperated  Dutchmen  to 
do  but  take  to  the  air,  so  Enstice  dropped 
back  and  fired  a  20-yarJ  heave  that  was 
intercepted  by  Courter,  who  carried  the 
ball  17  yards  to  the  Union  48". 

Tawksbury,  Power*  Kick  Well 

The  spectacular  kicking  of  Bud  "Nub- 
bins" Tewksbury  and  Tom  Powers  high- 
lighted the  second  half.  After  Hannock 
brought  the  ball  to  the  Williams  33,  the 
Eph  kicking  star  booted  as  long  a  punt  as 
has  been  seen  on  the  Purple  gridiron  in 
many  a  season.  From  his  own  28,  he

Money  and  Music 

Till'  I'iiiuiK'iul  threat  to  llu'  Thompson  Concert  Series  i.s  liy  no  means 
over.  Last  year  tlie  1910-  H  Tlionip.soii  eomniittec  went  $500  into  debt — 
not  heeau.se  iiiiileijjradnati'.s  did  no!  ()ledf,'e  llieni.selv;'.s  lo  Iniy  tickets  for

not  yel  paid  fur  the  concerts  tliey  atleiided.  This  year  many  under- 
graduates arc  not  supporting  the  series  because  they  believe  there  are  no 
\)\)i  names  on  the  program.  These  men  do  not  realize  that  Du.shkin 
ranks  with  Spaiilding  as  one  of  the  two  greatest  American  violini.sts,  that 
Joliii  Hrownice,  like  Til)bett,  sing;s  first  baritone  roles  at  the  Metropolitan, 
or  that  the  New  Krieiids  of  Music  Orchestra  and  the  Stradivarius  String 
(inartcl  enjoy  iialion-wide  repiitalion.s. 

Ti)  combat  llic  d()ul)le  threat  of  bad  debts  and  lack  of  undergraduate 
iiilercsl,  those  men  at  Williams  who  really  want  to  a.ssure  the  future  exist- 
ence of  the  Tiionip.son  .series  must  do  three  things.  First,  those  students 
who  enjoy  good  imisic  .should  purchase  tickets  for  the  remaining  nine 
concerts.  For  only  l)y  atlvance  knowledge  of  dependable  sources  of  income 
can  the  committee  operate  on  a  sound  financial  basis.  Second,  under- 
graduates who  feel  they  miss  big  names  on  the  1941-42  program,  must 
realize  that  only  by  strong  financial  support  this  year  can  the  Thompson 
committee  secure  the  services  of  a  Tibbett  for  1942-43. 

Finally,  next  year's  connnittee  itself  must  find  a  new  method  of 
selecting  really  efficient  house  agents.  Perhaps  the  committee  could  ask 
each  house  president  to  apf)oint  the  agent  at  the  fraternity's  first  Septem- 
ber meeting.  This  official  action  will  help  convince  house  members  that 
the  success  of  the  Thompson  series  depends  heavily  upon  the  support  of 
each  social  group.  If  the  house  presidents  appoint  men  who  are  interested 
in  the  series,  it  will  also  prevent  a  repetition  of  this  year's  haphazard 
selection  of  agents,  some  of  whom  are  extremely  efficient,  and  some  of 
whom  are  totally  inefficient. 

There  can  be  no  doubt  that  undergraduate  support  this  year  will 
determine  the  future  of  the  series.  The  1941-42  connnittee  has  scheduled 
ten  programs  which  will  cost  around  $4,000.  The  Thompson  Fund  will 
provide  §1,500,  leaving  about  $2,500  to  be  raised  from  ticket  sales.  A 
substantial  share  of  this  .$2,500  has  not  yet  been  pledged  by  either  under- 
graduates, faculty,  or  town  residents. 

If  undergraduates  really  want  the  Thompson  series  to  continue  nexi, 
year,  they  .should  pack  Chapin  Hall  next  November  18,  when  a  "big  name" 
—  the  New  Friends  of  Music  Orchestra  —  conies  to  Williamstown  to  help 
carry  on  a  valuable  community  enterprise. 


WILLIAMS 
IN  THE  WAR 


A  Citadel  and  a  People 

riuTi'  is  a  story  to  l)u  told  about 
Williams  College.  'I'htTe  is  a  story  to  be 
told  alxiul  Williams  Colk'gu  and  the  World 
War.  The  story  isn't  fini.shed  yet,  but 
there  are  chapters  ready  to  add  to  it  now. 
There  was  a  good  foreword  and  part  one 
for  that  story  written  last  spring.  There 
is  a  very  poor  part  two  ready  for  the 
presses  lliiw. 

l"or  Williams  lias  lost  what  she  had. 
Williams  was  the  pride  of  t  he  intervention- 
ist niovenietU.  Williams  was  pointed  to, 
talked  abdiit,  and  [iraised.  Williams  had 
arrived. 

And  now  Williams  has  lost  thai.  1 1 
isn't  all  at  Williams,  because  the  American 
people  have  losj  a  lot.  Unfortunately, 
the  goveriiineiil  of  the  country  has  as  yet 
not  taken  the  action  that  Williams  de- 
maiiiled  last  spring.  And  Williams  feels 
hurt.  Williams  feels  that  if  it  will  not  be 
heard,  it  will  slop  shouting,  Williams 
feels  that  since  it  did  a  good  job  and  failed, 
il  nia\'  slop  trying  to  do  the  job  again, 
Williams  doesn't  feel  that  there  i.s  very 
much  to  argue  about  in  the  difference  be- 
tween tragic  conclusions  and  pathetic  ones. 
The  story  that  Williams  is  now  telling  is 
pointing  toward  a  pathetic  ending.  Wil- 
liams has  hist  ground,  and  Williams  may 
lie  ashamed  of  that. 

What  is  going  on  in  the  worUl  today  is 
no  matter  to  which  we  may  c'ose  our  eyes 
;>n<l  allow  them  to  focus  on  the  worldly 
matter  of  driving  a  car  at  our  discretion. 
What  is  going  on  is  a  bit  more  important 
than  whelher  we  can  sleep  a  while  later 
and  still  gel  to  our  eight  o'clock  by  driving. 
And  what  is  going  on  won't  be  escaped  by 
closing  eyes.  What  is  going  on  isn't 
quite  the  same  as  a  decision  lietween 
Stetson  Library  and  a  trip  to  North- 
ampton. What  is  going  <in  has  already 
been  decided.  There  isn't  any  more  room 
for  judging  the  issues.  'That's  all  over, 
and  the  result  i.sn't  very  hard  to  discern, 
nor  is  the  single  course  that  is  open  diffi- 
cult to  see. 

But  there  is  a  difficult  problem.     'There 
is  a  problem  that  all  the  resources  of  all  | 
the  minds  that  know  about  it  must  face 
with  all  the  power  and  faith  that  those 
men  own.    'There  is  the  problem  of  act- 


ing, of  bringing  a  nation  to  act,  upon  a 
decision  which  has  alread\'  been  made. 
It's  a  big  nation,  and  Williams  is  a  small 
part  of  it.  But  there  isn't  a  part  of  that 
nation  that  isn't  meaningful.  There  isn't 
a  part  of  that  nation  that  can  be  given  up 
without  giving  up  the  entire  nation.  And 
Williams  is  a  part  of  that  nation.  And 
Williams  can't  give  up.  None  of  the  men 
who  realize  so  pressingly  the  exigencies  of 
today's  world  can  give  up,  for  they  doom 
themselves  to  the  pathetic  end  as  they  do. 
And  none  of  those  men  can  want  for  them- 
selves or  their  nation  anything  but  a 
glorious  rebirth  of  every  meaningful  con- 
cept of  its  history,  a  rededicalion  to  the 
passionate  faith  of  Hamilton,  Paine  and 
Jefferson,  a  world  ordereil  as  this  world  can 
be  ordered,  and  lias  not  yet  been,  and  bar- 
ring this,  a  tragic  ilealli.  America  knows 
that  it  has  a  course,  and  it  knows  that  il 
wants  only  that  course.  'That  course 
leads  neither  lo  tragic  nor  to  pathetic 
death.  'Thai  course  leads  to  a  birth.  Il 
leads  to  the  hatching  of  the  widest  horizon 
in  human  history,  the  greatest,  and  the 
last,  ami  the  best  hope  of  all  mankind. 
Il  leads  to  the  birth  of  a  humanity  which 
will  have  emancipated  itself.  It  leads  to 
an  era  of  the  city  of  man,  an  era  of  truly 
human  meaning.  'This  is  America's  course 
It  means  war.  It  means  war  now.  It 
means  passionate  action  now.  It  means 
the  end  of  the  debate.  It  means  winning 
the  war.  And  it  means  winning  the  peace. 
And  it  means  winning  them  both  for  all 
liunianit\-  for  all  the  years.  'This  is  the 
role  that  history  has  assigned.  We  have 
the  means  to  do  the  assignment,  and  we 
alone  have  them,  'To  fail  to  do  this  a.ssign- 
ment  will  remove  that  opportunity  for  all 
time. 

Williams  must  see  that  this  is  the  job 
at  hand.  Williams  must  rekindle  last 
spring's  interventionism,  and  rekindle  it  to 
a  greater  flame.  For  America  needs  what 
Williams  has  to  contribute,  and  it  needs 
it  now.  If  Williams,  which  does  know 
what  directions  we  must  follow,  is  to  fail, 
neither  America,  nor  Williams,  can  expect 
others  to  do  moie.  Neither  Williams  nor 
America  can  expect  to  go  to  anything 
nior<'  than  a  pathetic  death.  All  history 
can  sketch  no  darker  end.  All  hLstory  can 
point  to  no  greater  crime.  AH  history 
can  .show  no  greater  laments.  All  history, 
and  all  men,  and  all  time  will  stand  as  the 
accusers  of  America  if  she  now  fails  her 
role  as  the  final,  and  the  most  tremendous, 
of  all  the  hopes  of  all  the  days,

(Continued  tiom  pase  1) 

Mr.  Wood,  emphasi/ing  that  "Any 
change  would  probably  be  for  the  better", 
pointed  out  that  a  policy  of  electing  the 
executive  committee  by  campus-wide 
rather  than  by  individual  fraternits'  polls 
as  proposed  in  the  "new  start"  idea,  would 
promote  individual  leadeishi)), 

"In  the,  past  U.  ('.  men  lia\'e  just  taken 
orders  from  their  respect ixe  houses.  The 
men  in  each  house  are  going  to  want  this, 
that,  and  the  other  thing,  and  their 
appointees  have  become  representatives 
rather  than  campus  leaders. 

"Certainly",  he  continued,  "the  faculty 
has  no  confidence  in  a  group  that  repeals 
the  dri\'ing  law  so  (piickly  when  ob\iousl\' 
there  was  considerable  .student  opinion  in 
favor  of  retaining  a  few  restrictions." 
Tower  Gives  3-Point  Plan 

Tower,  who  had  at  first  been  skeptical 
about  the  new  plan,  recently  came  out  in 
its  favor.  "The  suggested  program  is 
sound  for  three  basic  leasoiis",  he  said: 
"first,  it  would  help  to  bring  about  a  co- 
ordinate faculty-student  point  of  view; 
second,  I  belie\c  that  the  split  of  repre- 
sentatives shouldn't  be  on  a  fraternity 
basis;  third,  members  of  the  new  council 
would  realize  increased  responsibility," 

.Although  he  does  not  belie\e  it  to  be  the 
best  possible  program,  Holden  said,  "1 
think  that's  a  pretty  good  iilea.  While 
there  will  undoubtedly  be  a  lot  of  kicking, 
it  would  be  the  only  way  to  get  something 
done.  Undoubtedly  it  would  be  a  good 
substitute,  but  I'm  not  sure  it  would  be 
the  best." 

Perry  praised  the  plan,  eni|)hasizing 
benefit  of  a  non-political  group  which 
would  work  for  the  college  as  a  whole 
rather  than  on  a  fraternity  basis,  but 
stated  that  a  division  of  jurisdictional 
powers  between  student  and  facult)-  rep- 
resentatives would  probably  be  necessary

In  the  liasement  of  Lilly  Hall  at  Smith, 
Miss  Dorothea  R.  Dusser  de  Barenne, 
Smith  '36,  is  recording  the  brain  waves  of 
eleven  Smith  students.  The  experiment, 
conducted  in  an  insulatetl  cage  where  the 
subject  is  placed,  is  carried  on  every  day 
with  each  girl  for  over  a  period  of  two 
months.  According  to  Smith's  news- 
paper, the  scheme  "is  an  attempt  to  deter- 
mine normal  nervous  Conditions  of  the 
brain  in  girls  of  college  age." 


The  Williams  Outing  Club  is  again 
organizing  a  Ski  Patrol  designed  to  make 
skiing  safe  and  to  lessen  the  number  of  ski 
accidents.  Under  the  leadership  of  Ulrich 
J.  Franzen  '42,  the  organization  will  in- 
clude any  of  last  gear's  members  plus  any 
interested  from  the  class  of  194.S.  Similar 
plans  for  a  National  Ski  Patrol  were  re- 
cently announced  in  the  Colgate  Maroon 
by  the  Colgate  Outing  Club. 


Having  won  the  privilege  of  sole  bar-

the  C.  I.  O.  is  now  waging  battle  with 
.idministrative  authorities  there  as  to 
eniplovnient  terms.  Similarly,  employees 
at  Smith  took  up  the  cry  of  organizing  as 
an  A,  F.  of  L.  group  convened  at  North- 
ampton last  week  in  an  attempt  to  win 
the  .same  privileges.

qiuck-kicked  a  wet   ball  that  traveled  65 
yards  in  the  air,  hit  and  bounded  into  the 
end  /one  for  a  total  yardage  of  70. 

Powers'  most  skillful  punt  followed  a 
IJnicni  interception  of  Tewksbury's  pass  on 
the  .30,  the  closest  view  the  Dutchmen  were 
to  have  of  the  ICph  goal  line.  After 
Johnny  Stiegmaii,  brilliant  sophomore 
defensive  guard,  nailed  Killian  for  a  7-yard 
loss,  lied)  llolden  intercepted  a  pass, 
bringing  the  ball  to  his  own  45.  l~rom 
here  Powers  sailed  a  bullet-like  ([uick-kick 
that  went  out  of  boimds  on  the  Hy  at  the 
Union  4-yard  line. 

Offenses  Fail  To  Click 
Hoth  offensi's  failed  miserably  in  the 
third  period,  while  Davis  aii-.l  C.oldblatt 
of  Union  arul  Kenzi  and  Courter  shared 
defensive  honors.  Only  once  did  an  Eph 
back  come  close  to  breaking  away  when 
(lunnar  Hayes  was  dropped  by  a  shoe- 
string tackle  by  the  last  Union  man  in 
front  of  him.  Williams  was  held  to  a  net 
gain  of  11  yards  and  was  limited  to  one 
first  down,  while  the  Ciarnet  picked  up  a 
total  of  8  yards  rushing. 

Eph  Threat  Falters 
With  two  minutes  to  play,  the  Purple 
drove  to  the  two-yard  line,  only  to  be 
stopped  by  a  wild  center.  Starting  on  the 
47,  Hannock  picked  up  20,  Orr  and 
Schmidt  each  drove  5,  then  Schmidt 
whipped  around  the  end  for  16  to  put  the 
ball  on  the  6.  Orr  and  Wells  drove  to  the 
2.     Then,   with    10   seconds  to   play,  the 

center  flew   between   the  halfbacks  to  be 

grounde<l    by    Union    on    the    25    as    the

Definitely  outplaying  iheir  opponents, 
the  Williams  soccermen  failed  in  ihe  more 
important  function  of  oulsc(iring  the 
ILimilton  team,  and  |)la>ed  to  a  scoreless 
tie  on  muddy  Cole  Fiidd  .Saturday  after- 
noon. 

Purple  Forwards  Lack  Unity 

The  Purple,  e.spected  to  carry  the  clay, 
played  a  very  uninspired  brand  (jf  soccer, 
failing  lo  capitalize  on  its  frequenl  oppor- 
tunities for  a  tally.  A  serious  lack  of 
unity  and  punch  in  the  forward  line  kept 
the  hcjine  team  from  taking  advantage  (;f 
the  excellent  playing  of  fullbacks  Captain 
Joe  Cochran  and  Amos  Barnes,  who 
managed  to  keep  the  Williams  territory 
well  cleared  for  the  greater  part  of  the 
game. 

Late  Goal  Called  Back 

Late  in  the  third  quarter  Coach  Hul- 
lock's  charges  did  start  a  drive  down  the 
field  that  was  culminated  by  Art  Lee's 
kicking  the  water-logged  ball  into  the 
nets  from  a  scrambling  melee  in  front  of 
the  goal.  The  goal,  however,  was  called 
back  by  the  timekeeper  and  the  referee 
as  it  was  made  some  two  seconds  after  the 
period  ended. 

Although  neither  coach  made  any 
substitutions  during  the  first  half,  L'ncle 
Ed  Hullock  did  start  the  second  sjian  with 
a  new  attack  composed  of  Jack  R<'ed, 
Ben  Hurd,  Bruce  Winter,  Art  Lee,  and 
Sink  Hart.  Later  in  the  same  ciuarter, 
I'rank  Wozencraft  replaced  Hedley  Rey- 
nolds at  left  half-back  to  give  a  rest  to 
the  latter,  who  was  slowed  down  by  a 
bruised  muscle. 

Two  Overtime  Periods 

Two  five  minute  overtimes  were  pla>"ed 
in  an  attempt  to  break  the  tie.  The 
Purple  maintained  the  upper  hand  through 
both,  hammering  repeatedly  at  the 
Hamilton  goal,  but  with  little  success. 
The  slippery  condition  of  the  field  and 
the  ball  made  long  shots  difficult  and  the 
lack  of  unity  turned  all  attempts  at  close 
teamwork  into  confusion. 

The  visitcjrs  from  Clinton  never  showed 
themselves  to  be  bett<'r  than  mediocre, 
with  the  highly-touted  Meier  unable  to 
exhibit  his  best  form,  because  of  the  cold 
wind  and  the  rain  that  made  judgement 
and  speed  very  difficult.

to  the  direct  and  anticipatory  elTects  of 
the  Selective  Service  Act  and  to  the  high 
wages  ottered  by  <k'fense  industries. 

As  a  result  of  this  decrease  practically 
all  colleges  and  universities  face  a  "grave 
financial  problem".  In  addition  to  the 
cut  in  tuition  receipts,  endowment  yields 
are  less  than  they  ha\e  beeci  in  the  past. 

Colleges  of  Arts  Show  Gains 

ln<lependent  colleges  of  arts  and  science 
show  the  largest  attendance  gains  while 
public  institutions  were  the  hardest  hit. 
Williams,  a  college  of  "arts",  lost  over 
twenty  students  to  branches  of  the  mili- 
tary service  alone.  Only  four  of  the  fort>-- 
nine  state  and  other  public  universities 
surveyed  showed  gains,  while  the  rest  ha\-e 
suffered  losses  as  high  as  fifteen  per  cent. 
The  University  of  Connecticut  leads  the 
field  with  a  twenty-fi\e  per  cent  increase. 
Independent  teachers'  colleges  reported  no 
enrollment  gains  and  law  schools  also  lo.st 
a  large  number. 

Deferments  Aid  Medical  Schools 

Attendance  at  medical  schools  is  the 
highest  on  record  while  engineering  depart- 
ments show  a  similar  increase.  The  Times 
explains  these  statistics  by  pointing  to  the 
deferments  offered  students  in  medicine 
an<l  certain  branches  of  engineering. 

The  national  emergency's  influence  upon 
masculine  enrollment  is  emphasized  even 
more  by  statistics  resulting  from  the  101 
woman  colleges  included  in  the  survey. 
Thirty-eight  of  these  have  enrollment 
increases,  thirty-nine  approximately  the 
same  number  as  before,  aiul  onl\'  twenty- 
four  have  experienced  decreases.

in  Order  to  Overcome 
Threat        of        Fascism

||i    lilack  night  of  Fascism  ami  a  new  dawn 
World  Freedom  squarely  on  the  shoul- 
>  of  the  American  people  last  evening 
Cliapin    Hall.      "The   outcome  of   the 
u  and  the  whole  fate  of  the  world",  the 
iM-oiisly  anti-Nazi  foreign  correspondent 
lUnmly  declared,   "rests  directly  in   the 
;ii(ls  of  the  United  Stales." 
.Xddressinn   a    near   capacity    audience 
!i  1  railed  from  all  over  the  Berkshires,  Mr. 
'lecher,  three  weeks  returned  from   Lon- 
discussed  current    developments   in 
\.irl<l  War  II,  ventured  a  prophecy  on  its 
liiicome,  and  outlined  a   politically  real- 
lie  program  of  American  action  as  the 
Jc    means     of    insuring    a    democratic 
iclory. 
Neither  Side  Holds  Upper  Hand 
Mr.  Kischer's  primary  contention  on  the 
,isis  of  European   observations  made  in 
ii~  most  recent  London  excursion  was  that 
biiilcr  present  conditions  neither  Germany 
i"i  Hritain  decisively  hold  the  upper  hand 
I  he  war.     Britain  cannot  win  hecause 
|h>'    (h«'s    not    have    sufficient    industrial 
ililiesand  military  e(|uipnient  to  invade

unil)  the  Nazis  out  of  the  war. 
(In  the  other  hand,  Ciermany  cannot  win 
Ihe  war  either  without  a  successful  niili- 
liirv  invasion  of  Britain.     The  Nazis  lack 
irnianent  air  superiority  over  the  chan- 
il.  which   is  a  prere(|uisite  for  such  an 
it.asion. 

"U.  S.  The  Decisive  Weight" 

Mr.  I'ischer  pointed  to  the  Hitler-Soviet 

|j;Krcssion  as  an  indication  that  Hitler  hini- 

t.M  has  realized  the  futility  of  a  British 

nvasioii  and  is  consolidaling  his  resources 

li  I  he  Fast  for  a  drag-down,  stalemate  war 

|f  attrition  against  "the  Uxiniing  Anglo- 

iixon    coalition".     "The  decisive  weight 

1  the  conflict",  Mr.  Fischer  continued, "is 

vilh  the  United  States." 

Only  a  more  intensive  American  partic- 
ipation  in   the  war  will  write  a  ("mis  to  the 
l)laKUe   of  dictatorship.     Only  an   imme- 
piate    American   declaration   of    war,    he 
sscrted,  will  force  America  to  make  those

Irrns  and  military  e<iuipment  production 
lurticient  to  crush  history's  most  gigantic

[Hitler  and  Supporters -- Damned  Barbarians', 
Asserts  Van  Mesdag  '45,  Netherland  Youth 

"Adolf    Hitler  and  his  supporters  area  gang  of  damned  barbarians." 

Such  is  the  indictment  of  the    present  German  regime  delivered  by  Jan  Bart  van 

^It  sdag  '45,  a  native  of  the  Netherlands,  and  only  recently  arrived  in  this  country. 

He  feels  that  the   present  war  being  waged    by    England    against     the     "bar- 

trians"  is  an  ideological  war  and  that  the  English  are  cast  in  the  role  of  "the  saviors 

\l  civilization."    As   such    they   deserve  all  the  support  that  can  be  given  to  them 

\  the  peoples  of  free  countries,  declares  van  Mesdag. 

Williams  Complacency  a  Paradox  ' " 


Ihat     any     Williams    student     could 

toniplacently  assume  an  attitude  of 
|"tal  unconcern  in  a  conflict  which  holds 
|he  fate  of  occidental  civilization  in  the 

balance  is  to  him  a  paradox.  He  deplores 
|hc  lackadaisical  attitude  of  the  average 

vnerican  citizen  as  one  sure  method  of 
|nviting  disaster. 

I'his  attitude  of  levity  concerning  issues 
pf   vital    importance,    according    to   van 

lesdag,  brought  about  the  fall  of  France. 
I'uring  his  travels  in  France  two  years 
Igo  he  noticed  that,  although  the  morale 
If  the  troops  was  excellent,  the  statesmen 
fi  France  were  mostly  interested  in  "wine, 

»'omen,  and  song."  To  this  national 
Iharacteristic  he  attributes  the  humilia- 
|ion  of  France. 

Travals   on    Continent 
Jan  Bart  van  Mesdag  was  born  eighteen 
fears  ago  in  Hilvcrsum,  Holland.     He 


went  to  school  in  England,  and  has  travel- 
ed much  on  the  continent  of  Europe. 

During  his  travels  in  Germany,  van 
Mesdag,  because  of  his  status  as  a  visiting 
foreigner,  was  accorded  privileges  ordi- 
narily not  enjoyed  by  the  citizens  of  the 
Reich.  Apparently  this  extra-special  treat- 
ment was  calculated  to  create  a  favorable 
impression  of  the  Nazi  regime,  but  Jan 
declares  it  was  easy  to  see  that  Hitler's 
power  was  based  on  propaganda  and  the 
Gestapo. 

Hitlar  Works  on  Youth 
The  most  sympathetic  recipients  of  der 
Fuehrer's  propaganda  ire  the  German 
youth.  Van  Mesdag  feels  that  this  policy 
of  "getting  them  while  they're  young" 
constitutes  a  self-perpetuating  factor 
within  the  Reich,. and  thus  increases  the 
urgent  necessity  of  prompt  action  on  the

New  Chem  Building 
Will  Be  Completed 
In  Early  February 

Addition  to  Laboratory 
First  Step  Towards 
Realizing   Dennett   Plan 


liy  NioN  R.  TucKKH,  Jii.  '44 

Although  originally  scheduled  to  be 
compklid  by  October  1  of  this  year,  the 
new  $100,000  addition  to  the  Thompson 
Chemical  Laboratory  is  now  expected  to 
open  next  February,  ready  for  use  during 
the  second  semester. 

Contrary  to  general  belief,  the  delay  was 
not  due  to  defense  priorities.  Main 
"bottleneck"  was  the  difificuky  in  getting 
the  three-ton  I-beams  from  the  Bethlehem 
Steel  Company  mills.  These  girders  that 
span  the  distance  between  the  biology  and 
chemistry  buildings  supporting  the  suc- 
cessive floor  levels  had  to  be  specially 
rolled  and  then  shipped  by  flat-car  to 
Pittslield.  Though  the  masonry  was 
ready  for  the  placing  of  the  beams  in  late 
June,  they  were  not  delivered  until  mid- 
September  holding  up  work  nearly  three 
months. 

Skilled  Labor  Scarce 

Scarcity  of  skilled  labor  was  also  a 
limiting  factor  in  the  building  schedule. 
Though  the  supply  of  masons  and  brick- 
layers was  abundant,  electricians  and 
carpenters  became  increasingly  scarce  as 
the  summer  went  on.  It  has  now  become 
difiicult  to  employ  even  unskilled  laborers. 

Just  s{|ueezing  under  the  barrier  created 
by  the  National  Defense  Program,  orders 
were  placed  in  late  June  and  early  July. 
According  to  Professor  John  Fitch  King 
of  the  Chemistry  Department,  it  has  been 
estimated  that  some  of  the  orders  placed 
from  Williamstown  must  have  been  among 
the  last  accepted  not  subject  to  priority 
ruling.  Most  of  the  copper  and  metal 
equipment,  now  impossible  to  secure,  has 
arrived  and  is  now  stored  in  local  ware- 
houses. The  last  of  the  furniture  to  be 
shipped  is  expected  to  leave  Chicago  by 
the  seventeenth  of  this  month.

Midyear  Degrees 
For  '42  Draftees? 

No  Demand  from  Seniors 
As  Yet  for  February 
Exams,     Says      Newhall 


Rumors  that  Williiims  would  fall  in 
step  with  the  recent  Harvard-Princeton 
educational  streamlining  policy  of  holding 
final  examinations  in  February  for  drafted 
seniors  were  denied  this  week  in  college 
administration  quarters. 

No  Desire  For  Plan  Indicated 
Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
declared  Wednesday,  "Nothing  has  yet 
come  to  the  attention  of  college  authorities 
to  require  imitation  of  the  Harvard- 
Princeton  policy"  Most  of  the  drafted 
seniors  have  been  deferred  by  their  local 
draft  board  for  the  duration  of  the  college 
year.  Those  seniors  who  have  not  yet 
been  deferred  and  those  who  intend  to 
enlist,  Acting  President  Newhall  pointed 
out,  have  not  yet  indicated  any  desire  to 
have  the  diploma  requirement  shortened. 
Harvard  Undergraduates  Petition 
The  Harvard  action  in  shifting  examina- 
tions to  midyears  "to  enable  qualified 
seniors  to  enter  the  armed  forces  before 
the  end  of  the  academic  year  without 
losing  their  degrees"  was  not  an  antici- 
patory move.  It  was  rather  the  direct 
result  of  undergraduate  petitioning.  Un- 
willing to  lower  any  curricular  require- 
ments, the  Harvard  faculty  has  insisted 
that  to  be  eligible  students  must  be 
qualified  to  carry  five  or  six  courses  and 
prepare  for  examinations  between  now  and 
February. 

This  latest  step  which  the  university 
has  taken  to  meet  the  demands  of  the 
American  armed  forces  on  college  men 
complements  its  Three- Year  acceleration 
program  whereby  present  freshmen,  soph-

Record  Crowd  Due 
Amherst  Weekend 

Over  7000  to  See  Game; 
Notable  Alumni  Return 
to    Cheer    Purple   Team 


With  all  seals,  both  on  the  permanent 
and  temporarily  erected  grandstands,  sold 
out  for  over  a  week,  the  Office  of  the 
Graduate  Manager  of  Athletics  is  still 
being  swamped  for  tickets  for  the  Amherst 
football  game.  All  records  of  attendance 
for  Williams-Amherst  games  held  in 
Williamstown  will  be  broken,  according  to 
Albert  V.  Osterhout,  Graduate  Manager. 

Not  since  the  same  weekend  in  1932 
has  there  been  nearly  so  large  a  group 
coming  to  Williams  for  the  "big  game". 
.Saturday's  record-breaking  tilt  is  expected 
toatt  act  well  over  seven  thousand  people 
according  to  the  latest  estimate. 

Well-Known  Alumni  Returning 
Some  of  the  better  known  of  the  return- 
ing alumni  are  Judge  W.  A.  Burns  '97  and 
Cohinel  Clark  Williams  '92.  The  presi- 
dent of  the  Society  of  Alumni,  Stuart 
Tenipleton  '10,  and  Joseph  B.  Ely  '02, 
lormcr  governor  ot  the  state  of  Massacnu- 
setts,  have  both  sent  in  applications  for 
tickets. 

In  the  stands  Saturday  afternoon  to 
hear  undergraduates  and  alumni  together 
singing  the  song  he  composed  while  an 
undergraduate  himself  will  be  Clarence  F. 
Brown  '09,  author  of  "Yard  by  Yard." 

Loyal  Williams  rooters  Julia  Sanderson 
and  Frank  Crummit,  well-known  for  their 
stage  and  radio  exploits,  are  scheduled  to 
return  to  Williamstown  for  their  regular 
Amherst  weekend  visit.  For  the  past 
two  years  dr  more  they  have  been  jointly 
conducting  a  radio  quiz  program  known 
as  the  Battle  of  the  Sexes. 

Former   Football    Captains   Expected 

At  least  three  former  football  captains 
are  expected,  the  first  of  which  is  Al  Vinal,

Williams  debaters  today  invade  Dart-

"robbery"  last  week,  for  the  practice 
tournament  to  be  held  at  Hanover  this 
weekend.  Accompanied  by  Adelphic 
Union  coach,  Robert  F.  Young,  two  teams 
will  represent  the  college  in  contests  with 
live  other  colleges  on  the  topic.  Resolved : 
That  the  federal  government  be  given  the 
power  to  regulate  all  labor  unions. 

Charles  Carothers  and  Milton  Prigoff 
'44  will  take  the  affirmative  side  while 
Robert  TuUy  '42  and  Alex  Westfried  '43 
will  debate  the  negative.  Other  colleges 
convening  this  weekend  at  Dartmouth  are 
Vassar,  Amherst,  the  University  of  Maine, 
and  the  University  of  New  Hampshire.

Wesleyan's  21-20  win  over  the  Coast

the  Carrier-sparked  Wesnreii  may  be 
able  to  uncork  some  unple.isiMil  surprises 
if  the  Purple  is  not  in  top  form.

Wesley  Fesler  will  be  pulling  all  his  magic 
out  of  the  bag  to  hand  Williams  a  few 
liad-tasting  pills.  Wesleyan  gave  Am- 
herst a  tough  fight  before  going  under 
16-7.  .^nd  the  high  wind  during  that 
game  put  Jim  Carrier's  passing  genius  at 
a  disi\dvantage.  Williams'  pass  defense 
has  shown  up  poorly  again  this  season,

stop.

171  Freshmen  Receive 
Preliminary  Warnings 

Phi    Delt,     Sig    Freshmen 
Head      Scholastic      List 


Sixty  per  cent  of  the  class  of  194.S  re- 
ceived the  preliminary  warnings  Monday 
which  are  issued  annually  to  fieshmcn. 
Of  the  .^38  warnings  sent  out  from  the 
Dean's  Office  sixty  were  E  warnings  while 
277  were  D's. 

By  comparing  the.se  with  |)revious 
statistics,  the  present  sophomore  class  has 
the  best  record  in  receiving  preliminary 
warnings  during  its  first  year.  Only 
twenty-nine  per  cent  of  1942  went  through 
this  period  unscathed  as  freshmen,  while 
thirty-six  per  cent  of  1943  and  forty-one 
per  cent  of  1944  were  not  warned  at  that 
time. 

Since  these  notices  cover  such  a  short 
period  they  are  not  necessarily  indicative 
of  mid-semester  standings.  They  do. 
however,  act  as  a  fair  basis  of  discussion 
for  any  freshman  who  wishes  to  plan  his 
work  with  Assistant  Dean  William  G. 
Perry. 

Going  from  the  least  to  the  most  pre- 
liminary warnings  received,  the  social 
groups  rank  as  follows: 

(1)  Phi  Delta  Theta 

(2)  Sigma  Phi 

(3)  Zeta  Psi 

(4)  Alpha     Delta     Phi     and     Delta

$6.50 

The  attention  of  the  people  running  around  campus  boldly  asking 
$6.50  for  a  few  hours  of  imisie  Aniher.st  weekend  is  called  to  the  following 
quotations  from  the   W illiams  (^iiurtorly  of  1859: 

June:  On  tiie  ijcca.sion  of  the  announcement  that  Gilniore'.s  Band 
from  Hosloii  would  play  at  Comnieneeiiient :  "Probably  the  most  expen- 
sive l)aii(l  of  llie  country,  as  well  as  the  ino.st  nnisical,  it  will  doubtle.s.s 
give  .s|)eeial  eelat  to  ('omiiieiiceiiient  exercises." 

Seplvniln'r:  "The  introduction  of  expensive  music  at  Conimeiicc- 
meiit  is  strikingly  illii.sti'ativc  of  the  tendency  in  fiollege  to  give  too  great 
iini)ortance  to  things  merely  .seconrlary." 

Le.st  .some  one  figure  that  Tiiio  Mioromi  is  against  house  i)arties, 
may  we  state  simi)ly  that  lioii.se  i)ai'ties  are  .swell. 

Also  —  for  tlie  sake  of  the  recortl  —  we're  not  at  all  convinced  that 
anyone  is  going  to  get  $6.50  worth  of  music  Amherst  weekend,  nor  that 
this  is  the  exact  point  in  our  history  at  ■wliich  "special  eclat"  at  any  price 
is  worth  very  nuich.  We're  miglity  .sure  that  there  are  a  thousand  and 
one  l)etter  ways  of  .spending  that  much  money,  and  we  wonder  if  the  people 
who  an  running  this  show  have  heard  of  such  sundry  things  as  stationary 
incomes  and  increasing  |)rices;  such  things  as  sacrifice  and  national  de- 
fense, the  United  States  Army,  Navy,  and  Marines;  as  useful  ways  of 
using  money  and  wasteful;  as  the  Williams  Chest  Fund  Drive;  such 
things  as  the  Japanese  Navy,  Adolf  Hitler,  freedom,  decency. 

We  wonder,  because  four  hundred  times  $6.50  is  something  close  to 
$3,000  —  which  is  a  lot  of  money  to  be  pouring  into  a  weekend  of  dancing, 
when  the  things  in  life  that  matter  depend  upon  pouring  many  times  that 
amount  into  defen.se  bonds  and  stamps,  into  machine  guns  and  bullets.

VAN  MESDAG 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
part  of  all  opponents  of  tyranny  —  par- 
ticularly on  the  part  of  the  youth  of  the 
United  States,  cm  whom  will  devolve  to  a 
large  degree  the  task  of  combatting  their 
fanatical  German  contemporaries. 

Jan  himself  has  already  attempted  to 
enlist  in  the  R.C.A.F,,  but  because  he 
was  un<ler-age,  and  because  of  an  optical 
deficiency,  he  was  rejected.  Neverthe- 
less, the  idea  of  freeing  his  enslaved 
countrymen  is  still  uppermost  in  his  mind, 
and  he  declares  that,  should  an  oppor- 
tunity to  enlist  in  the  ranks  of  the  enemies 
of  Hitler  present  itself,  he  would  not  fail 
to  take  advantage  of  it. 

In  describing  the  situation  in  the  con- 
quered Netherlands  van  Me,s<lag  quoted 
the  following  phrase  from  a  letter  he  re- 
ceived from  a  friend  in  Holland:  "Things 
used  to  go  better,  now  they  go  best,  hut 
I  wish  they  would  go  better  again." 
Holland  Very  Damocratic 

Of  course  J.an's  own  feelings  dictate  a 
much  stronger  statement  of  the  evils  of 
Nazi  rule  than  does  this  cautiously  worded 
letter,  but  he  feels  that  the  above  quota- 
tion gives  a  fair  impression  of  the  attitude 
in  Hf)lland  today.  Jan  described  the 
Holland  of  three  years  ago  as  the  most 
democratic  nation  in  Europe.  He  said 
that  Holland's  democracy  was  an  exact 
duplicate  of  America's. 

But  he  declared  that  this    similarity 


between  the  two  countries  amounted  to 
more  than  the  acceptance  of  the  same 
political  philosophy.  American  cars,  A- 
merican  refrigerators,  American  stoves, 
and  even  American  slang  and  profanity 
are  extremely  common  in  Holland. 

Van  Mesdag  feels  that  a  similar  affinity 
of  interests  among  all  nations  must  form 
the  basis  of  any  post-war  order.  He  is 
equally  sure  that  the  post-war  order  will 
be  drafted  by  American  and  English 
statesmen,  since  to  him  a  German  defeat 
is  inevitable.

The  Stetson  Library  has  recently  re- 
ceived a  pictorial  sketch  of  Lingua  n 
University,  near  C.mton,  China.  Ling- 
nan  is  the  only  eastern  university  of  a 
charitable  and  educational  nature  which 
annually  is  included  in  the  Chest  Fund 
budget.  The  booklet  includes  a  sketch  of 
the  history  of  the  institution,  outlines  its 
plans  for  expansion  and  service  to  China 
after  the  war,  anti  contains  a  number  of 
photographs  of  the  university'  and  of 
scenes  in  South  China. 


CHEM  LAB 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
The  addition  now  under  construction  is 
part  of  a  plan  proposed  in  1935  by  Presi- 
dent Tyler  Dennett.  This  scheme  sug- 
geste<l  that  the  three  Thompson  Labora- 
tories be  joined  into  one  large  building 
which  would  serve  as  ^  science  center  for 
the  college.  A  common  corridor  would 
run  from  one  end  of  the  present  Physics 
Lab  to  the  opposite  end  of  the  Biology 
building  with  e,\tra  classrooms  to  be  used 
by  all  three  departments.  It  also  pro- 
vided for  an  enlarged  shop  to  do  the  work 
i)f  all  three  scientific  branches  with  one 
large  reference  library  and  a  central  office 
system. 

In  accordance  with  this  general  plan,  the 
new  wing  will  connect  the  two  buildings 
it  lies  between, on  all  three  levels, while  the 
new  lecture  rooms  being  built  are  expected 
to  be  available  to  the  Biology  Department 
when  not  being  used  by  the  chemists. 

Fourteen  Rooms  Added 

The  wing  will  bring  8,500  additional 
square  feet  of  usable  floor  space  to  the 
department  as  well  as  fourteen  more 
rooms;  —  lecture  rooms,  small  laboratories 
for  specialized  work,  faculty  offices,  a 
physical  chemistry  laboratory  on  the  top 
floor,  and  a  very  large  organic  chemistry 
workshop  in  the  Ijaseinent. 

The  latter  will  be  the  largest  lab  on 
campus,  even  though  it  is  of  the  most 
expensive  type  to  build.  Under  ordinary 
conditi(ms  it  will  be  able  to  easily  accom- 
modate 48  students,  24  at  a  time.  Should 
conditions  arise  warranting  it,  this  lab  may 
easily  be  expanded  to  handle  nearly  twice 
as  large  a  working  group. 

To  show  that  the  growth  of  interest  in 
chemistry  which  tnotivated  the  construc- 
tion of  the  new  wing  might  continue  to  the 
point  of  necessitating  such  an  expansion, 
Dr.  King  cites  the  example  of  the  Chemis- 
try 3-4  course,  in  1934  a  class  of  around 
twenty,  and  this  year  a  class  containing 
well  over  eighty. 


Reminiscent  of  Cornell's  1940  'fifth 
down'  loss  to  Dartmouth,  the  movies  of 
last  Saturday's  Harvurd-l'riiicclon  en- 
counter reveal  two  vital  plays  on  which 
there  'appears'  to  be  some  dispute.  As 
stated  in  Tlie  Daily  Princelomiin ,  "Mo\'ies 
appear  to  show  Franny  Lee  tlowii  be- 
fore crossing  goal  line  and  MacKiniiey 
out  of  end  zone  while  kicking."  However, 
it  is  reported  that  no  action  will  be  taken 
by  the  Tiger  coaches  or  A.  A.  Office  unless 
the  "Harvard  Athletic  Association  initiates 
some    action   to  change  the  decision." 


Theodore  Dreiser  will  probably  be  in- 
spired to  write  another  chapter  to  the 
Amfican  Tragedy  if  he  happens  on  the 
startling  ad  which  appeared  in  a  recent 
issue  of  the  V'assar  Miscellany  News.  It 
read:  "Whoever  took  my  green  sweater 
and  skirt  by  mistake  from  the  dressing 
room  of  the  Junior  Party  last  Saturday 
please  return  it  to  me  at  215  North."

omores,  and  juniors  will  be  able  to  com- 
plete their  education  ind  acquire  their 
degree  before  they  reach  the  draft  age. 
A  similar  plan  is  under  consideiation  at 
Yale,  although  no  definite  decision  is  ex- 
pected in  the  near  future. 


The  latest  development  in  the  sopho- 
more campaign  for  drixing  permission  was 
revealed  in  last  Tuesday  evening's  Jesu|3 
Hall  meeting  of  the  class  of  '44.  This 
development  involved  a  plan  which,  as  it 
was  presented  to  Acting- President  Richard 
A.  Ne\vh]|l,  Dean  Halfdan  Gregersen,  and 
Cyrus  N.  Morgan,  '42,  proposed  that  the 
members  of  the  three  upper  classes  be 
allowed  to  use  cars  only  during  weekends. 


Cole  Porter  Recital 

Will  Feature  Octet 

Cole  Porter  will  be  the  subject  of  the 
second  in  the  series  of  musical  comedy 
revivals  at  8:15  Sunday  evening,  Warren 
G.  Hunke  '42,  president  of  the  Glee  Club, 
recently  announced.  In  addition  to  the 
regular  cast  of  Hunke  and  George  D. 
Lawrence  '43  at  the  pianos  and  vocalists 
Lawrence  C.  Smith  '45  and  Miss  Joan 
Stokes  of  Bennington  College,  the  recital 
will  also  feature  the  Glee  Club  Octet  and 
selections  In-  Assistant  Professor  Roy 
Lamson,  Jr.  on  the  clarinet. 

The  program,  which  has  been  personally 
arranged  by  the  composer  himself,  will 
be  presented  in  the  studio  auditorium 
of  the  AMT.  Two  weeks  ago  at  the  first 
recital,  even  though  about  twenty  stu- 
dents sat  on  the  floor,  more  than  twice 
that  many  were  turned  away  because  of 
the  studio's  lack  of  seating  facilities. 
Despite  this  great  show  of  undergraduate 
enthusiasm,  the  price  will  remain  at 
twenty-five  cents. 

The  Octet,  making  its  first  appearance 
since  the  Bowdoin  weekend  dance,  will 
sing  "Me  and  Marie"  and,  assisted  by 
Miss  Stokes,  "Blow,  Gabriel,  Blow."

apiinst  Norwich,  the  yearlings,  after  spot- 
ling  the  V'ermonters  an  early  touchdown 
(in  a  blocked  kick,  came  back  in  the  final 
stMUza  to  score.  However,  the  Norwich 
line  rose  up  to  thw'art  the  attempt  for  an 
rxtra  point,  leaving  the  Kphmen  on  the 
short  end  of  a  7-6  count.  Against  Choate, 
I  lie  frc  shmen  were  more  fortunate,  winning 
by  an  identical  score  by  virtue  of  a  fluke 
lonversion.

opening  eleven,  will  probably  start  Charlie 
Wheeler  and  Andy  Knox  on  the  flanks. 
Art  \'orys  antl  C"arl  ( '.ruber  at  the  tackles, 
Fred  Wardwell  and  liill  Kossell  at  the 
guards,  and  John  (dasgow  at  the  pivot 
post.  This  line  weighs  about  185  pounds 
a  man  from  tackle  to  tackle,  although  the 
light  ends  bring  the  average  of  the  forward 
wall  down  to  180  pounds. 

Backfield  Averages  165 

Behind  this  line  will  be  a  backfield  that 
averages  a  little  under  165  pounds.  Line 
plunger  Larry  Hrashears,  the  weightiest  of 
the  backs,  will  hold  down  the  fullback 
position,  while  John  Brown,  Em  Herndon, 
and  Les  Johnston  will  round  out  the 
quartet. 

Since  the  Wesleyan  booters  already  lead 
in  the  Little  Three  competition,  having 
disposed  of  the  Sabrinas  by  a  4-1  score 
they  will  be  favored  over  the  Chaffecmen 
in  tomorrow's  engagement.  However, 
the  Purple  booters  will  be  out  to  protect 
their  season's  near-perfect  slate,  marred 
oidy  by  an  overtime  2-2  deadlock  with 
Deerfield.  In  their  only  other  conflict  to 
date,  the  booters  posted  a  3-0  decision  over 
the  R.  P.  I.  first-year  men. 

Hoover  in  the  Nets 

Coach  ChatTee  will  field  virtually  the 
same  club  that  has  started  in  the  Deer- 
field  and  K.  P.  1.  contests.  Tom  Hoover 
will  protect  the  nets,  with  Hob  Chamber- 
lain and  Chink  Walker  at  fullbacks.  Full- 
back Hart  N'an  Eck,  who  has  been  a  regular 
all  season,  is  home  sick,  and  in  all  probabil- 
ity will  not  see  any  action. 

Nes  Bangs,  Denny  Volkmann,  and  Art 
McComb  will  play  the  halfbacks,  while  the 
forward  line  will  have  Cory  Wickershani 
and  either  Beany  Kingsbury  or  Elliott 
Stearns  at  the  wings,  Hernie  Seelback  and 
Bill  Eyre  at  the  insides,  and  Larry  Smith

Gym  Decorations  Will

Lasell  Gymnasium  will  be  transfer  red 
Amherst  weekend  into  a  scene  reminiscent 
of  ga\'  Paree  of  the  pre  Vichy  ilays,  accord- 
ing to  Arthur  V.  Lee,  3rd  '42,  business 
manager  of  the  Glee  Club.  The  motif  of 
the  decorations  is  a  Parisian  cafe,  complete 
with  Prench  doors  and  windows,  awnings, 
and  lampposts. 

The  entire  ceiling  and  the  walls  above 
the  balcon\'  will  be  covered  with  massive 
blue  cloth,  wliile  the  rest  of  the  walls  will 
be  green.  In  reply  to  complaints  that 
previous  house  party  dances  have  been  too 
dark,  the  dance  committee  decided  that 
the  lights  will  be  brighter  this  year. 
Arrangements  ari>  now  being  made  for  a 
Coca-Cola  and  ice  cream  bar  in  the  side 
gymnasium. 

Long  Plays  Friday 

Fiddle-playing  Johnny  Long  has  been 
contracted  to  perform  Friday  night  from 
ten  until  three  at  the  formal  dance.  On 
Saturday,  Bunny  Berigan  will  pla>-  twice, 
first  at  a  tea  dance  in  the  afternoon  directly 
after  the  game,  and  again  that  night  in  an 
informal  dance.  The  tea  dance,  innovated 
this  year  for  the  benefit  of  alumni  and 
Amherst  rooters  as  well  as  Williams  under- 
graduates, will  last  until  six  o'clock. 
Combination  Tickets  --  $6.50 

Combination  tickets  for  all  three  dances 
will  be  sold  by  the  Glee  Club  compets  for 
S6.S0.  This  is  a  slight  rise  over  other 
years,  caused  by  the  increased  federal  tax 
and  general  rising  prices.  Individual 
tickets  for  the  dance  Friday  evening  are 
$3.75  a  couple  and  $3.50  stag,  for  the  tea 
dance  sixty  and  fifty  cents,  while  those  for 
the  Saturday  night  affair  cost  $2.50,  couple 
or  stag. 

The  Fhior  Committee  for  the  formal 
dance  consists  of  Cyrus  N.  Morgan,  Hugo 
A.  Oswald,  Jr.,  and  Herbert  Holden  '42. 
For  Saturday  night's  dance  the  Committee 
will  be  Warren  G.  Hunke,  John  M.  Gibson, 
and  L.  Philip  Muller '42. 


WESLEYAN  GAME 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
Purple  attack  was  not  clicking  well  after 
the  first  period.  A  lot  more  dri\e  will  be 
needed  to  push  the  Cardinals  around  if 
Williams  expects  to  continue  its  rule  in  the 
Little  Three  roost. 

Wesleyan's  Record  UnimpreBsive 
Weslcyan's  record  to  date  has  been  un- 
impressive, including  a  trouncing  from 
Brown  and  a  13-6  loss  to  Bowdoin.  They 
beat  a  weak  Haverford  team  33-11,  and 
then  lost  to  Amherst  16-7,  although  the 
game  was  closer  than  the  score  indicates. 
But  the  victory  over  the  Coast  Ciuard  is  a 
real  feather  in  their  cap  and  shows  that 
Wesleyan  is  improving  fast  as  the  season 
advances.  The  Coast  Guard  Academy's 
eleven  downed  a  strong  Norwich  outfit 
earlier  in  the  season.

Purple  Soccermen  Set 
For  Shot  at  Wesleyan 

Cardinal    Game    Seen    As 
Difficult         Assignment 


Long  overdue,  the  Williams  soccer 
machine  has  high  hopes  of  breaking  into 
the  win  column  tomorrow  against  the 
Wesleyan  stjuad.  The  Cardinals  will 
play  host  to  a  far  more  determined  team 
and  unified  attack  than  Uncle  Ed  liullock 
has  been  able  to  muster  on  the  field  so 
far  this  year. 

The  same  combimition  that  faced 
Hamilton  last  weekend,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  Norm  Lowell  who  will  replace 
.Shep  Poor  in  the  goal,  will  take  the  field. 
After  a  week's  concerted  practice,  the 
soccermen  shouUl  ha\'e  overcome  the 
faults  apparent  in  the  Hamilton  en- 
counter with  an  eye  towards  a  toe  hold  on 
the  Little  Three  Championship. 

The  Wesleyan  booters  are  no  mean 
opponents.  Not  content  with  the  Little 
Three  title  last  season,  they  went  on  to 
annex  the  New  England  Championship 
as  well.  More  recently  they  downed 
.Springfield,  early  season  victors  o\'er  the 
Purple 

More  cheerful  is  the  fact  that  Wesleyan 
found  Vale  as  tough  i  foe  as  did  Williams. 
Moreover,  the  long  list  of  bad  breaks  that 
have  been  partly  responsible  for  the  un- 
attractive record  of  three  losses  and  one  tie 
should  be  well  o\'er  l)y  now.  W'ith  a  few- 
good  breaks,  the  soccermen  are  expected 
to  "find  themselves"  and  make  the  first 
notch  on  their  guns  a  deep  one.

"The  AiiK'rica  I'irst  (■oiiiiiiitUe  is  opposed  to  all  foriign  isms,  such  as  Com- 
niiiiiisiii,  Nazism.  Union  Now  and  Fascism.  We  believe  in  a  strong  defense  for 
.America,  but  in  staying  out  of  the  present  foreign  war."  This  is  the  pullished  pro- 
gr  iiM  of  the  .'\merica  First  t'omniittee.  Last  week  we  attended  one  of  its  rallies  in 
lioston  to  determine  what  it  really  stands  for. 
We  le-.irned  little  from  the  speeches  of 


.Senator  liurton  K.  Wheeler  and  ex- 
.Amb.i.ss  idor  C'udahy  except  the  techniques 
of  nbble-ronsing.  .'\lthough  Cudahy  ap- 
peared to  be  keeping  his  speech  on  an 
intellectual  level,  his  basic  appeal  was  to 
till'  emotions  of  his  audience,  using  the 
well-worn  shiblioleths  of  "Constitution," 
"American  Way,"  and  "Thank  God  I'm 
an  American."  Wheeler  made  no  attempt 
to  cover  up  his  demagogy.  Every  anti- 
administration,  -.inti-liritish  incident, 
story,  or  joke  l)ecanie  his  tool. 
Priest  Opens  Rally 

Both  men  echoed  time  and  again  the 
catholic  note  struck  at  the  beginning  of 
the  meeting.  The  rally  had  been  opened 
by  a  priest  delivering  a  Catholic  invo- 
cation, followed  b>'  ,1  responsive  uttering 
of  the  Lord's  Prayer.  Wheeler  and  Cud- 
ahy quoted  the  isolationist  sentiments  of 
Cardinal  O'Connell  and  the  Cardinal  of 
Ireland,  scoffed  at  the  President's  claim  of 
religious  freedom  in  r<ussia,  and  drew  an 
analogy  between  political  offices  and  the 
Catholic  hierarchy.  These  appeals  found 
their  marks. 

The  audience,  itself,  consisting  mostly 
of  women  anil  men  o\'er  the  draft  age,  was 
overwhelmingly  in  favor  of  America  First. 
It  rose  to  its  feet  and  cheered  at  each 
mention  of  Lindbergh's  name.  It  booed 
when  Cudahy  referred  to  the  President. 
It  laughed  when  Wheeler  suggested  that 
the  statues  of  Britishers  throughout  the 
country  be  torn  down  an<l  melted  into 
bullets.  It  agreed,  if  we  wanted  to  pre- 
serve freedom  of  the  seas,  we  would  do 
better  to  fight  Uritiin  than  (iermany,  and

it  remained  ominously  silent  w  hen  Cudahy 

said,  "I  detest  Hitler  and  all  his  works." 

"You  Wouldn't  Give  a  Nickel, 

Wouldcha?" 

Before  the  inceting  we  had  decided 
merely  to  observe,  but  during  Cudahy's 
speech  we  couldn't  restrain  ourselves. 
We  booed  when  the  audience  clapped,  we 
cheered  when  it  hissed.  The  people 
around  us  soon  realized  that  our  colors 
were  not  theirs.  During  the  intermission, 
when  the  hat  was  passed,  the  woman  next 
to  us  taunted,  "You  wouldn't  give  a 
nickic,  wouldcha?"  From  then  on  to  the 
end  of  Wheeler's  speech,  our  neighbors 
parroted  the  traditional  insults  and  de- 
cayed arguments.  "I  wish  I  were  in 
C.ermany."  "What  are  you.  Commu- 
nists?" "If  you're  so  an.xious  to  fight, 
why  don't  you  enlist  in  the  R.  A.  F.; 
Koosevelt  will  give  you  back  your  citizen- 
ship?" "Just  a  couple  of  capitalists." 
"If  you  had  four  brothers  laid  in  the  fields 
of  France,  you  wouldn't  want  to  go  to 
war."  "Shut  up!"  "Vou  ought  to  be  in 
a  concentration  camp."  The  lines  along 
which  these  people  thought  were  alarming- 
ly evident. 

Wheeier,  himself,  ending  his  address, 
shouted,  "To  those  of  you  who  love  Bii- 
tain,  Russia,  and  China  so  much,  I  say,  if 
you  love  them,  go  over  there  and  live." 
Our  friends  cheered  and  could  not  wait  to 
throw  at  us,  "I  guess  that'll  hold  you." 
With  this  we  rose  and  walked  over  to  a 
table  where  America  First  literature  was 
being  distributed.  "This  will  help  you 
win  your  arguments,"  the  man  said  as  he 
handed  us  a  jximphlet. 


Williams  Still  Biggest 

InterventioniMt  Seat 


Williams  is  still  the  biggest  strong- 
hold of  intercollegiate  interventionism 
according  to  all  polls  taken  last 
month.  Nearly  twenty-five  per  cent 
of  the  5,548  students  covered  by  one 
particular  survey  favored  immediate 
declaration  of  war  by  the  United 
States.  In  answer  to  that  same 
question  forty-three  per  cent  of 
Williams  gave  its  assent.  Those 
colleges  that  yielded  the  5,548  opin- 
ions were  Wesleyan,  Trinity,  fihode 
Island  State,  Springfield,  Connecticut 
College,  New  Jersey  College  for 
Women,  and  Williams. 

Latest  individual  results  favoring  a 
I'.  S.  declaration  of  war  are: 

Princeton  20% 

Harvard  20%

Machine  Shop  Training 
AttractsManyMoreThan 
Expected ;     41     Enrolled 

Originally  planned  to  acconuiiodate 
eighteen  to  twenty  seniors  and  students 
holding  draft  numbers,  the  mechanical 
training  course  recently  organized  by 
Ralph  P.  Winch  of  the  physics  department, 
has  gotten  under  way  with  forty-one  en- 
rolled for  instruction. 

Because  of  the  limited  facilities  of  the 
shop,  sixteen  applicants  had  to  be  refused 
admission  to  the  course.  Only  one  of  these 
was  a  senior,  whose  application  was  filed 
too  late.  Three  undergraduates  other 
than  seniors  or  those  registered  for  the 
draft  have  been  accepted  with  the  under- 
standing that  they  will  help  as  assistants 
in  the  course  next  year,  should  it  he  con- 
tiniued  or  enlarged.  These  are  C".  Stewart 
Larc  '43,  and  Harry  J.  Rendell  and  John 
C.  Richmond  '44. 

The  classes,  five  a  week,  handling  eight 
students  each,  are  expected  to  continue 
until  March,  when  the  fifteen  week  period 
planned  will  be  over.  At  that  time,  should 
the  demand  warrant  it,  Mr.  Winch  and 
Cieorge  E.  Woods,  laboratory  technician, 
may  extend  the  course  for  a  smaller  num- 
ber with  a  more  intensive  curriculum. 

The  course  designed  to  give  "a  general 
knowledge  from  which  a  souml  specific 
skill  may  be  built  at  some  later  date" 
is  run  as  a  one-cut  subject.  After  more 
than  the  one  allowed  absence,  the  stu- 
dent is  automatically  dropped  and  sub- 
sequently replaced  by  one  of  the  appli- 
cants previousl>'  turned   down. 

The  instruction  "is  taking  hold  quite 
well"  Mr.  Winch  stated,  adding  that  he 
had  found  no  one  inx'olvcd  so  far  with 
"two  hands  of  all  thuiubs."  In  view  of 
the  present  world  and  national  situation, 
he  further  believes  that  the  coursa  should 
not  only  be  continued  next  year,  but 
expantled.

LOUIS  FISCHER 

(Continued  from  patit*  1) 
Hitler.  Only  the  Unitetl  Slates  with  its 
industrial  power  and  resources  can  assume 
leadership  in  rebuilding  Europe,  and  can 
make  the  posl-war  world  a  more  decent 
place  to  live  in."  America  owns  the 
Future  if  she  will  but  assume  her  rightful 
responsibilities  in  the  world  conuuunity. 


Citing  the  traditional  bulldog  spirit  of 
the  Hritish  |)e(jple,  the  aslute  political 
observer  assured  the  audience  that  Lng- 
land  "would  never  (juit".  The  govern- 
ment and  the  peoph',"  he  continued,  "are 
uiudterably  in  favor  of  all  out  aid"  to 
Russia  and  any  other  nations  resisting 
Fascist  conquest,  and  "it  makes  no  dilTer- 
ence  to  them  whether  or  not  Stalin  goes 
to  church." 

Mr.  Fischer  asserted  that  Britain  might 
win  the  war  from  the  air  only  if  she  had 
3000  planes  to  throw  at  Gernuui\-  dail>'  for 
sixty  successive  days.  This  would  re- 
(|uire  40,000  planes.  "40,000  planes  pro- 
duced in  America  and  England  can  win  the 
war  and  probably  will  someday,"  hi' 
declared. 

Speaking  of  the  Soviet  invasion  Mr. 
hischer  placed  the  blame  for  current  Ger- 
man successes  chiefh'  on  bad  Red  Army 
staff  work,  a  direct  result  of  the  1937 
.Stalin  purge.  He  augured  that  the  Ger- 
man Wehrmacht  would  smash  through  the 
industrial  Dcmet  basin,  through  the  Cau- 
casian oil  fields  to  the  Volga  and  perhaps 
the  Urals  by  the  Spring.  Pointing  to  the 
German  losses  of  2,000,000  men  or  25  per 
cent  of  the  flower  of  their  armed  forces,  and 
also  noting  the  degeneration  of  German 
domestic  morale,  he  expressed  the  opinion 
that  rumors  of  an  invasion  of  Britain  could 
be  discounted. 

The  factors  of  German  diversion  in 
Russia,  poor  home  morale,  added  to  con- 
tinental discontent  and  sabotage  and  the 
increasing  R.  A.  F.  power  if  supplemented 
by  inuuediate  American  action  while  the 
time  is  .still  ripe  can  spell  the  pattern  of 
victorj-  for  the  democracies,  the  speaker 
predicted.

(if  Max  II.  Flowers,  returns  once  agaiii  to 
till-  Williams  campus  Tliursday  and  Fri- 
day cveningB  after  an  absence  of  fifteen 
vi.irs.  This  will  be  the  dramatic  organiza- 
tiiin's  first  production  in  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre  since  the  opening  per- 
Imiiiances  of  Eugene  O'NciU's  spectacle 
Mfirco  Millions. 

Much  Ado  marks  the  revival  of  an  old 
( ,ip  and  Bells'  custom  of  putting  on  at 
Ic.ist  one  Shakespearean  play  every  year, 
ll\(  last  production  being  King  Henry  IV, 
Part  I  four  years  ago  in  the  old  Opera 
House.  Since  then,  only  the  Chekhov 
Thi-aler  Studio's  highly  entertaining  ])res- 
.nl.ition  of  Twelfth  Night  in  October, 
1<I10,  has  been  given. 

Play  o{   Contrast 

Written  at  the  height  of  .Shakespeare's 
London  career.  Much  Ado  is  highlighted 
liy  the  author's  mastery  of  dramatic 
suspense  --  by  his  e\-er-present  contrast 
between  comic  anil  dramatic  scenes.  It 
is  a  play  about  love,  friendship,  and  mar- 
riage, interspersed  with  dialogues  and 
characterizations  that  are  both  witt)' 
.Hid   coarse. 

Mrs.  Clarence  C.  Chaflee  and  Kellogg 
.Smith  '44  will  play  the  roles  of  Hero,  the 
wrongfully  accused  maiden,  and  Claudio 
iif  I'lorence,  her  impetuous  young  Italian 
lover.  The  other  romantic  couple,  liene- 
dick  and  Hcatricc,  whose  piercing  \'erbal 
dsslus  are  some  of  Shakespeare's  wittiest 
lines,  ire  portrayed  by  Lawrence  Sladc  '44 
uiH  Mrs.  Lawrence  H.  IJloedel,  both 
vetiran  ("ap  and  Hells  performers.

Purple  Soccermen 
Hold  Off  Wesleyan 

Scoreless  Tie  Aids  Ephs 
In  Try  For  Little  3 
Soccer        Championship 


Delinilely  rated  as  underdogs,  a  deter 
mined  Purple  soccer  s(|uad  under  Coach 
Uncle  Kd  Bullock  fought  a  highly  touted 
Wesleyan  eleven  to  a  scoreless  tie  Saturday 
morning.  Fooling  the  dopeslers  who  had 
them  soundly  drubbed  on  paper,  the  Wil 
Hams  booters  held  off  their  opponents 
through  four  (piarters  and  two  overtimes 
to  leavi'  the  road  open  for  a  try  al  the 
Little  Three  Championship. 

Purple  Fullbacks  Outstanding 

The  Cardinals,  led  by  their  spectacular 
captain,  center-halfback  Muckley,  pressed 
hard  at  the  visitors'  goal  but  were  unable 
to  make  the  telling  impression,  due  mainly 
to  the  superlative  playing  of  the  fullback 
pair.  Captain  Joe  Cochran  and  Binnie 
Barnes,  and  the  Purple  goalie.  Norm 
Lowell. 

The  scoreless  tie  is  more  than  a  moral 
victory  for  the  Williams  invaders.  Since 
the  Wesleyan-Amherst  score  was  also  a  tie, 
the  November  15  game  will  necessarily  be 
the  determining  contest  in  the  Champion- 
ship race.  A  win  over  the  Sabrinas  will 
bring  the  crown  to  Williamstown. 

Coach  Bullock  made  use  of  a  great  many 
substitutes  to  keep   his  best  men   fresh, 
utilizing  all  but  one  of  the  squad's   for- 
wards.    His  men  did  not  have  the  number

Came  to  Williams  in  1893 

Having  acted  as  coach  for  nine  years  at 
Lehigh  University,  Doc  Seeley  came  to 
Williams  in  1893.  served  for  many  years 
as  sole  Diiector  of  Physical  Education 
before  a  department  was  oiganized,  be- 
came in  World  War  1,  as  a  member  of  a

'Republicans  at  Crossroads;  Willkie  Better 
Leader  Than  F.D.R./  Says  Russell  Davenport 

by  Sam  HtraiKii  '44 
Russell  Davenport  is  pretty  worried  about  the  G.  0.   P.  future  in  the  American 
I  pnlilical  .scene. 

Cornered  Saturday  evening  at  the  nineteenth   hole  of  the   Hartford  Golf  Club 

I  after  a  "Union   Now"   rally,   the  former  Willkie  campaign  manager  and  editor    of 
/•'or/Mtie  gave  The  Recobd  the  lowdown  on  the  conflict  within  Republican  ranks  and 

I I  lie  role  of  the  party  in  the  war  emergency.* 

O.  O.  P.  Muat  Back  Willkie 
Mr.  Davenport  declared  that  the  Re- 
I  publicans  would  have  difliculty  tipping  the 


I'.  S.  political  beams  until  they  had  rallied 
their  forces  solidly  behind   the'  interven- 
tionist banner   of   Wendell   Willkie   and 
invigorated  the  American  people  with  an 
I  active  brand  of  war  leadership.     He  feels 
that  it  is  the  Republican  role  to  take  the 
jump  on  the  faltering  Administration  by 
pushing  a  more  aggressive  foreign  policy, 
'his  policy  would  follow  the  lines  laid 
I  down  by  Wendell  Willkie's  recent  mani- 
j  festo  calling  for  the  complete  repeal  of  the 
Neutrality  Act  and  for  a  "forthright,  direct 
I  international    policy"    designed    to   beat 
I  Hitler  "by  whatever  means  necessary". 

I'ointing  to  the  isolationist  Republican 
I  recalcitrants  in  Congress,  Mr.  Davenport 
'xplaincd  their  obstructive  tactics  in  terms 
|«f  pure  shortsightedness.  He  declared 
I  that  they  were  laboring  under  the  false 
I'lntion  that  the  war  would  soon  be  over. 
1  They  fear  risking  their  political  necks 
llncause  "they're  all  still  waiting  for  the 


return  to  normalcy,"  he  confided. 
No  Predictions 

Mr.  Davenport  would  venture  no  proph- 
ecies on  the  outcome  of  the  conflict 
between  hidebound  Republican  isolation-' 
ism  and  the  Willkie  brand  of  G.  0.  P. 
interventionism.  "I've  quit  making  pre- 
dictions ever  since  I  graduated  from  college 
and  predicted  that  within  two  years  Amer- 
ican political  parties  would  be  split  along 
radical-conservative  lines,"  Mr.  Daven- 
port explained.  "I  will  say,  however,"  he 
added,  "that  the  future  of  the  Republican 
party  does  hang  in  the  balance." 

Turning  to  PresWent  Roosevelt's  de- 
fense administration  and  war  policy,  Mr. 
Davenport  emphatically  asserted — though 
he  admitted  that  he  might  be  somewhat 
prejudiced— that  "Willkie  would  have 
provided  much  more  effective  leadership 
than  has  the  President."  Mr.  Daven- 
port's main  lines  of  attack  were  on  domes- 
tic administration  of  defense  measures. 
"With  Willkie  in  office  we'd  be  much  fur-

A  chance  to  take  advantage  of  one  of 
modern  education's  latest  de\elopments 
will  be  offered  on  a  \-oluntary  basis  to  all 
Williams  undergraduates  by  A.ssistant 
Dean  William  G.  Perry  at  1:00  p.m.  in 
Goodrich  Hall  Wednesday  The  new 
plan  is  a  course  to  increase  students' 
rate  of  heading  through  the  use  of  films 
and  reading  matter  especially  adapted  for 
this  purpose 

Because  Dean  Perry  expects  a  large 
turnout  for  this  instruction,  students 
wishing  to  increase  their  reading  capa- 
bilities must  first  take  a  speed  test  in 
Goodrich,  Wednesday  afternoon.  The 
purpose  of  this  test  is  to  select  applicants 
whose  rate  of  reading  shows  that  they 
would  best  profit  from  such  instruction. 
Limited  facilities  are  responsible  for  IVIr. 
Perry's  suggesting  that  only  those  who  are 
seriously  considering  going  through  with 
the  course  take  the  examination. 
Regular    Classes 

Regular  classes  in  the  subject  will  meet 
at  3:00  p.m.  on  Mondays,  Wednesdays, 
and  Fridays  for  a  period  of  five  weeks. 
By  following  such  a  schedule  students  will 
have  ample  time  to  study  for  midycais 
upon  completing  this  training. 

A  preliminary  meeting  to  explain  the 
course  to  those  applicants  selected  will  be 
held  in  Goodrich  Hall,  Monday,  November 
17,  with  actual  class  exercises  beginning 
the  first  day  after  Thanksgiving  recess. 
If  more  than  forty-five  applications  are 
made  the  course  will  be  divided  into  two 
sections  with  the  second  starting  in  F'eb- 
ruary.  Mr.  Perry,  who  will  instruct  these 
classes,  stated  that  there  will  be  a  charge 
of  $5  to  cover  the  expense  of  equipment. 
Theory  Started  at  Harvard 

The  theory  of  instruction  that  is  to  be 
used    was    developed    at    Harvard,    and

Hayes,  Holden  Tally  On 
Sensational  Dashes 
In    Middletown   Tilt 


Carrier  Fights  Gamely 

by  CouuT  WniTiN  '43 

Hula-bipped  Gurinar  Hayes  rorkeled 
4.5  yards  over  th<'  goal  line  to  start  the 
fireworks  against  Wesle>an  Satur<la\  as 
Williams  openi'd  up  its  defense  of  the 
Little  Three  tit  le  before  a  Wesleyan  Home- 
coming; crowd  of  6000  :il  Aiidrus  F'ielil. 
Twelve  seconds  before  the  end  of  the  first 
half  Herb  Holden  raced  55  yards  into  ])ay 
dirt  on  a  screen  pass  from  Hayes,  game 
captain  Mil  Hall  ciinverling  to  inaki-  ihe 
score  13-0. 

In  the  opening  minutes  of  the  last  frame 
two  lightning  toucluliiwn  thrusts,  totalling 
oiiK'  six  plays,  gave  Williams  an  undi.s- 
puted  25-0  decision  over  tlu'  Cardinals  oil 
the  (Golden  anniversary  of  this  rivalr) . 
Williams'  evident  superiority  in  ever\- 
deparliiieiil,  and  the  smiiotli  functioning 
Purple  attack  showed  why  Coach  Charlie 
Caldwell's  team  is  a  lop  conti-nder  for 
small  college  honors,  and  gave  Kph  rooters 
good  reason  to  believe  thai  .^niher.sl  will 
go  under  in  the  season's  tiiiale  al  Williaiiis- 
town  next  Saturday. 

Hayes,  Schmidt  Spearheads 

Gunnar  Ha\  es  was  the  spearhead  iif  the 
Williams  attack,  and  Mill  Schmidt  shared 
running  and  passing  honors  with  the  elu- 
sive sophomore.  Hayes'  sensational  run- 
back  of  .Sadowski's  punt  opened  the 
scoring,  and  his  screen  pass  to  HoMen  led 
to  the  second  tally.  Holden  weaving 
through  the  Wesleyan  team  behind  perfect 
blocking  without  being  touched  b\  .i 
Cardinal  player.  On  the  lirst  play  of  the 
final  quarter  Hayes  went  over  again 
around  end,  climaxing  a  67-yard  iiiarrh 
which  began  in  the  third  period. 

This  concentrated  drive  from  the  Wil- 
liams 33  was  the  only  steady  push  of  the 
whole  afternoon.  It  began  with  a  16-yard 
dash  by  Hayes  and  a  I  layes-W.iUace  lo.ss 
for  another  first  down.  Hannock  laid  a 
pass  in  Hayes'  arms  to  net  23  \ards  more, 
bringing  the  ball  to  the  Wesleyan  22-\ard 
line,  and  Wallace  came  through  with  a 
beautiful  falling  catch  on  thi'  seven  just 
before  the  (|uarter  ended,  setting  up  the 
third  touchdown.

Fame,  Fortune,  Free 
House  Party  Offered 
For  Chaffee's  Choice 


First  air  raid  precaution  course  to  be 
given  at  any  college  will  start  at  Harvard 
after  Thanksgiving  recess  and  run  until 
Christmas  vacation.  Instruction  in  first 
aid,  lire  fighting,  elementary  gas  preven- 
tion, and  the  demolishing  of  buildiags  will 
be  included.

Have  you  found  the  "most  perfect 
house  party  date?"  More  important,  will 
she  be  here  when  Friday  rolls  around? 

If  so  you're  in  for  quite  a  weekend and 

all  on  the  house. 

Under  the  direction  of  Bob  Dill  '44, 
local  "pitcher  snapper"  par  excellence, 
two  photographers  will  set  up  their  rigs, 
"birdie"  and  all,  at  the  formal  Friday 
evening  dance  to  turn  out  two  large  prints 
for  the  Williams  swains  at  a  dollar  a  throw. 

From  these  pictures  Clarence  Chaffee, 
assistant  professor  of  physical  education 
turned  connoisseur  of  feminine  charm, 
will  select  "the  most  nearly  perfect  house 
party  date"  and  the  escort  of  the  winning 
woman  will  have  all  weekend  expenses 
(including  room,  corsage,  and  ticket  costs) 
paid. 

Prints  will  be  ready  and  the  final  de- 
cision of  the  judge  announced  some  time 
Monday. 


Cole  Porter  Audience 
Overcrowds  Studio 

Well  over  200  students,  faculty  mem- 
bers, and  neighbors  crowded  the  studio 
theatre  of  the  Adams  Memorial,  covering 
the  stage,  and  filling  the  doorways  and 
windows  to  hear  the  second  in  the  Glee 
Club  musical  comedy  revival  series,  a 
concert  of  Cole  Porter  melodies  planned 
by  the  composer  himself. 

In  addition  to  the  large  number  squeezed 
in,  at  least  lOO  less  fortunate  had  to  be 
turned  away.  Accordingly,  it  was  learned 
from  a  reliable  source,  pressure  will  1k' 
brought  to  bear  on  the  Director  of  the 
AMT,  who  refused  the  use  of  the  large 
stage  for  last  night's  concert,  to  have  the 
next  of  the  series  moved  into  the  main 
auditorium. 

In  addition  to  Miss  Joan  Stokes  of 
Bennington  College,  Lawrence  C.  Smith 
'45,  vocalists,  and  Warren  G.  Hunke  '42 
and  George  D.  Lawrence  '43  on  the  pianos, 
the  recital  featured  Assistant  Professor 
Roy  Lamson,  Jr.  on  the  clarinet  and  the 
Glee  Club  Octet. 

The  largest  hand  was  awarded  the  two- 
piano  arrangement  by  Hunke  and  Law- 
rence of  "Let's  Do  It"  from  the  musical 
comedy  "Paris."  The  final  group,  a 
medley  from  "Anything  Goes,"  featuring 
the  entire  group,  was  also  met  with  great 
entimsiasni*

TiiK  WiiJ.i.wis  llEcoiti)  joins  many  incinbers  of  the  cominunity 
anil  Williain.s  ahinini  in  extending  its  sympathy  to  the  family  of  the  late 
("hiirle.s  Frederick  Seeley,  whose  name  for  almost  half  a  century  has  been 
.syiionyinous  vvitii  the  best  in  Williams  athletic  tradition. 


New  Reading  Course 

Since  Septemijer,  Mr.  Perry  has  been  active  in  the  Dean's  Office, 
tciichiiif;  niulergraduates  how  to  be  efficient  in  studies.  And  now,  to 
those  men  whose  slow  reading  ability  niakes  them  feel  they  "haven't  the 
tinu  to  get  good  grades,"  the  college  will  offer  a  new  reading  course. 

For  $5,  and  fifteen  hours  of  hard  work,  undergraduates  can  increase 
t  heir  reading  speed  as  much  as  100  words  a  minute,  and  can  —  at  the  same 
time  —  learn  how  to  get  more  out  of  their  reading,  spend  less  time  in 
inefficient  study,  and  jjroduce  tietter  scholastic  results.  Undergraduates 
who  now  believe  their  slow  rate  of  reading  is  a  definite  handicap  might 
well  consider  making  an  investment  of  $5  and  fifteen  hours. 


The  Band's  Caps  and  Capes 

Revamped  and  revitalized,  this  year's  band  has  become  one  of  the 
college's  respected  organizations.  Its  contribution  at  every  game,  and 
the  important  role  it  played  in  Friday's  Wesleyan  rally  (the  best  in  years) 
make  it  an  essential  part  of  the  football  season.  But  no  self-respecting 
college  forces  its  band  members  to  wear  caps  and  capes  as  ridiculous  as 
ours.  It  wouldn't  cost  the  band  a  cent  to  discard  its  present  unifomi. 
Harvard  and  Yale  have  two  of  the  snappiest  bands  in  large-college  circuits. 
Their  members  wefir  the  sweater  and  white  flannels  which  every  Williams 
band  member  now  possesses.  A  Williams  band,  dressed  in  a  uniform  of 
white  flannels  and  black  sweaters  with  Purple  Ws  (large,  plain  letters 
without  any  effeminate  lyre  superimposed  on  them),  would  make  an 
impressive  appearance.

at  the  1908  games  at  Athens,  and  Hal 
Brown,  winner  of  the  3,000  meter  steeple- 
chase It  Antwerp  in  1920. 

Mr.  Seeley,  the  Dean  of  coaches  in  the 
East  and  one-time  President  of  the  Inter- 
collegiate Coaches  Association,  always 
kept  himself  in  peifect  physical  condition. 
He  was  classified  by  doctors  as  a  "medical 
wonder"  when  examined  for  ser\'icc  in 
the  army  and  even  when  well  past  seventy 
years  was  able  to  carry  on  actively,  box- 
ing a  few  rounds,  going  through  setting 
up  drills,  skipping  rope  and  out-pointing 
many  of  his  students. 

Testimonial  in  1933 
In  the  words  of  a  testimonial  of  apprecia- 
tion presented  to  him  in  June  of  1933  by 
the  President  and  Alumni,  something  of 
the  feeling  of  his  friends  towards  his  ability 
not  only  to  build  "winning  teams",  but  to 
also  build  men  and  character  is  reflected: 
"His  sound  counsel,  his  friendly  comrade- 
ship, and  —  above  all  —  the  aiding 
influence  of  his  sterling  personality  have 
been  among  the  most  valuable  and  effec- 
tive contributions  that  the  college  has 
made  to  generations  of  Williams  men." 

Loved  not  only  by  VVillianis  men  but 
by  those  of  Amherst  and  Wesleyan,  Doc 
Seeley  received  as  a  tribute  from  the 
Amherst  Track  Men  in  1935  a  plaque 
commemorating  the  last  Williams-Am- 
herst trick  meet  with  Seeley  as  the 
Williams    coach.

strongly  deprecated  Roo.sevell's  extrava- 
gance in  non-defense  expenditures.  "Will- 
kie," he  poiiitetl  out,  "would  have  effected 
many  more  economies." 

Mr.  Davenport,  however,  expressed  the 
view  that  the  Administration's  e.vcess 
proli(s  lax  was  a  satisfactory  measure. 
1  he  legislatiim  gives  corporations  the  op- 
tion of  deciding  whether  they  will  be 
assessed  on  the  basis  of  95  per  ceiU  of  their 
average  earnings  in  the  years  19.36  to  1939 
or  on  the  basis  of  8  per  cent  of  their  capital 
investment.  This  measure  has  been  se- 
verely criticized  in  some  quarters  for  per- 
mitting certain  heavily  capitalized  com- 
panies to  maximize  their  profits.  Mr. 
Davenport  disniisse<l  such  criticism  as 
unfounded. 

No  Profits  From  War 

Citing  his  experience  as  Fortune  editor, 
he  declared— "I  feel  certain  that  no  busi- 
nessman wants  to  make  nione>'  out  of  this 
war,  and  what's  more  I  don't  think  any- 
body is  going  to  make  anything  from  it." 
"Businessmen  merely  want  to  make  sure," 
he  a<lded,  "that  we  keep  the  rudiments  of 
the  profit  system  during  the  war  in  order 
that  we  may  keep  it  after  the  war."  Mr. 
Davenport  expressed  assurance  that  the 
American  system  of  free  enterprise  would 
survive  the  war. 

Mr.  Davenport  was  (|uestioned  on  the 
significance  of  the  Spring  Fortune  poll  of 
15,000  business  executives  which  revealed 
a  strong  flavor  of  appeasement;  only  10.6 
per  cent  were  sure  they  would  not  "do 
business"  with  a  victorious  Hitler.  "That 
was  eight  months  ago,"  declared  the 
Fortune  editor.  "Today  I'm  sure  business- 
men are  aware  of  the  threat  <if  fascism. 
Businessmen  are  willing  to  co(jperate  in  the 
emergency,  but  Roosevelt's  inefficient 
defense  administration  is  not  making  their 
cooperation  effective. "

Aviation,  John  W.  Lasell  '20,  has  still  to 
approve  the  Williams  Flying  Club's  new 
airport  before  lessons  can  be  given  there, 
that  organization  has  arranged  to  give 
lessons  at  the  North  Adams  field. 

President  Tuttle  announced  Sunday 
that  negotiati(ms  have  almost  been  com- 
pleted for  the  purchase  of  a  1940  Taylor- 
crafl  liy  a  few  members  of  the  club.  The 
group  owners  of  this  ship,  a  sixty-five 
horsepower  plane  with  side-by-side  seats, 
will  let  other  members  of  the  club  use  it.

The  Flavor  Lasts 


A  fast-breaking  freshman  soccer  com- 
bine outran  the  slightly  favoreil  Wesleyan 
crew  at  Middletown  Saturday  to  chalk  up 
a  4-1  victory  and  take  the  commanding 
position  in  the  Little  Three  race.  At  the 
same  time,  the  yearling  gridmeii,  starting 
out  at  a  terrific  pace,  bogge<l  down,  and 
were  finally  overcome,  14-13,  in  the  closing 
minutes  of  the  game. 

Displaving  the  year's  best  form,  the 
booters  grabbed  an  ea  ly  lead  when  Beany 
King.sbury  dribbled  around  the  opposing 
fullback  and  drilled  the  ball  past  the  goalie. 
From  then  on  it  was  all  Williams,  except 
for  a  brief  ofTensivc  flurry  in  the  third 
period  which  netted  the  Wesmen  their  only 
tally. 

Seelbach  Nets  Two 

Larry  Smith  and  Bernie  Seelbach  also 
converted  before  the  half,  and  Seelbach 
came  back  again  in  the  fourth  stanza  to 
head  the  ball  into  the  goal,  after  Cory 
Wickersham's  corner  kick  had  been  re- 
layed to  him  by  Denny  Volkmann. 

In  the  first  five  minutes  of  the  football 
game  it  appeared  that  the  Cardinal  year- 
lings were  set  for  a  repetition  of  the  46-0 
drubbing  that  they  suffered  at  the  hands  of 
Amherst  two  weeks  ago.  Em  Herndon 
set  up  the  first  score  when  his  quick  kick 
from  deep  in  Purple  territory  went  out  of 
bounds  on  the  Wesmen's  ten-yard  stripe. 
After  the  Redbircis  had  booted  back  to 
midfield,  the  freshmen  began  a  sustained 
march,  climaxed  by  Hernilon's  25-yard 
sweep  around  right  end  behind  beautiful 
blocking. 

Then  followed  a  series  of  plaxs  that  was 
(See  SOCCER  page  4) 


SOCCER 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
of  scoring  opportunities  they  had  in  last 
week's  Hamilton  game,  but  they  did  show 
a  material  improvement  in  technique 

Early  in  the  game,  a  large  pile-up  in 
front  of  the  goal  gave  the  Williams  rooters 
an  exciting  moment  as  the  Cardinal  goalie 
had  been  drawn  out  of  position  and  a  lucky 
kick  was  all  that  was  necessary  to  turn  the 
balance.  Though  this  attempt  came  to 
nought,  the  identical  situation  occurred  at 
the  opposite  end  of  the  field  later  during 
the  game,  with  Lowell  scrambling  to  get 
back  into  position.  Captain  Cochran, 
however,  broke  up  the  melee  and  emerged 
with  the  ball  to  clear  his  territory. 
Brown  Almost  Scores 

The  one  other  close  try  for  the  Purple 
occurred  late  in  the  game  when  Bruce 
Brown  received  a  long  pass  down  the  field 
on  his  left  wing  and  headed  unhampered 
for  the  Wesleyan  nets.  He  was  called 
back  by  the  referee,  however,  on  an  off- 
side ruling. 

though  the  second  half  of  the  game  was 
pretty  definitely  Wesleyan's,  the  two  five- 
minute  overtime  periods  were  very  even, 
and  quite  characteristic  of  the  whole  game, 
which  was  not  a  spectacular  encounter  by 
any  means.  Phe  result  was  the  one  in- 
spiring feature  of  the  game;  the  first  shut- 
out for  Wesle>an  this  season,  and  an  upset 

over  last  year's  New  England  Champions.

WESLEYAN  GAME 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
consecutive  bull's-eye  from  Schmidt's  pass- 
ing arm.  From  here  to  the  final  whistle 
the  game  was  more  evenly  contested  as 
Coach  Caldwell  made  free  use  of  his  long 
line  of  reserves. 

Cardinal  captain  Jim  Carrier  played  a 
magnificent  defensive  game  and  contin- 
ually threatened  with  his  passes,  but  his 
lone  stand  was  not  enough,  especially  with 
Wesleyan  ends  muffing  his  best  offerings. 
The  lack  of  reserves  began  to  tell  on  the 
home  team  in  the  second  half,  although  the 
Fesler-coached  eleven  showed  spirit  and 
drive  throughout  the  game. 

Powers  Sets  Stage 

Bud  Tewksbury  gavi>  another  .sensa- 
tional kicking  exhibition  and  Tom  Powers 
showed  himself  not  far  behind  the  soph- 
omore booter.  Powers  kicked  out  oi 
bounds  on  the  Wesleyan  5-yard  line  to  set 
the  stage  for  Hayes'  first  touchdown 
sprint.  Tewksbury  produced  the  long- 
distance kick  of  the  season  with  a  terrific 
boot  from  his  own  ten  to  the  Wesleyan 
fourteen-yard  line.  Carrier  and  the  Wes- 
leyan line,  however,  broke  through  to 
block  two  Purple  kicks. 

With  The  Waterboy 

Amherst  scouts  sitting  in  the  press  box 
were  looking  none  too  happy  as  Hayes, 
Schmidt,  and  Holden  demonstrated  their 
talent  as  breakaway  runners  to  match 
Bobby  Blood. 


Thirt>-  Williams  players  saw  action 
Saturday,  and  their  performance  showed 
that  there  is  no  such  lack  of  reserve 
strength  as  in  the  Princeton  game.

eventually  to  cost  the  first-year  men  the 
game.  Carl  Gruber  dropped  back  from 
his  tackle  slot  and  split  the  crossbars  with 
a  pt!rfect  placement.  However,  the  year- 
lings were  penalized  fifteen  yards  on  the 
play  (or  illegal  use  o(  the  hands. 

With  the  ball  on  the  17-yard  stripe, 
John  Brown's  attempted  drop  kick  went 
wide,  but  since  Wesleyan  was  off  side  on  the 
play,  the  1945  team  received  a  third 
chance  to  convert.  This  opportunity  went 
for  nought,  though,  when  Larr\'  Brashcar's 
pass  was  knocked  down. 

Brashears  Tallies 

A  minute  later,  after  a  long  drive.  Brash- 
ears  tallied  for  the  j'earling's  second  score 
on  a  IS-yard  reverse  around  the  left  flank. 
Gruber  again  place-kicked  a  strike. 

Finding  that  they  could  not  gain 
through  the  Ejih's  forward  wall,  the  Wes- 
men  took  to  the  air,  and  it  was  via  this 
route  that  they  scored,  once  in  the  third 
(luarter  and  finally  with  about  five  minutes 
remaining  in  the  game.  Both  conversions 
were  successful,  although  the  game-win- 
ning placement  was  grazed  by  one  of  the 
Purple  linemen. 

With  time  running  short,  Williams 
started  its  aerial  attack  and  Les  Johnston 
completed  three  in  a  row  to  Brown,  bring- 
ing the  ball  from  deep  in  the  yearling's 
territory  up  to  the  Wesle\an  30-yard  line. 
Here  a  Cardinal  back  intercepted  another 
Johnston  pass,  and  one  play  later  the  final 
whistle  bl-'W.

READING 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
Williams  is  the  first  other  institution  to 
use  it  in  this  particular  form.  Its  principle 
is  first  to  increase  eye  speed  and  then  to 
etiuatc  comprehensive  abilities  with  eye 
motion.  Dean  Perry  explained  that  at 
each  class  films  will  be  shown  which  are 
"designed  to  increase  eye  span,  to  pre\ent 
regressions,  and  to  control  eye  movements 
by  reducing  the  number  of  fixations  per 
line."  This  is  all  done  by  teaching  stu- 
dents to  see  words  in  groups  rather  than 
visualizing  them  individually.  Compre- 
hension tests  will  accompany  each  film. 
Object  to   Increase  Speed 

.Speed  passages  of  equal  clilficulty  will 
be  given  at  class  meetings  so  that  in 
dividual  improvement  can  be  recorded. 
Other  comprehensive  tests  of  increasing 
difficulty  will  include  excerpts  from  college 
te.\tbooks.  Eventually,  the  course  will 
take  up  training  in  skimming,  outlining, 
and  in  separating  irrele\'ant  from  relevant 
material. 

Mr.  Perry  stated  that  Harvard  stu- 
dents taking  these  exercises  have  shown 
an  average  improvement  in  rate  of  read- 
ing from  210  to  310  words  per  minute  and 
that  large  corporations  are  now  planning 
to  use  this  medium  in  training  entire 
office  staffs  in  efficiency.

Purple  Minutemen  Capture  Paint  Squadron; 
Amherst  Sidewalk  Artists  Sadly  Mop  Up 


If  you've  ever  seen  some  blue-bottomed 
baboons  scraping  Imnana  skins  on  the 
floor  (if  their  cage,  you  have  a  fair  idea  of 
how  eleven  Amherst  men  looked  last 
Tuesday  night  when  their  "paint  up 
Williamstown"  plot  backhn'd.  and  they 
were  forced  to  scrub  their  own  "Jeffs"  and 
"Amhersts"  off  the  W'illianistown  streets. 

As  a  pre  luili  to  a  night-fought  action 
that  would  have  done  credit  to  Colonel 
Eph  Williams  himself,  alarming  whispers 
came  in  over  the  Berkshire  grapevine  from 
points  south  and  west  at  about  two  in  the 
morning.  Around  the  dark  snowy  Bill- 
burg  streets  went  the  word,  "The  Jeffs  are 
coming!"  and  even  the  license  numbers  and 
car  models  of  the  Sabrina  pioneers  were 
shortly  in  the  air. 

Morgan,  Hall,  Leaders 

First  to  be  roused  from  bed  were  Cy 
Morgan  and  Mit  Hall,  who  worked  their 
way  towards  Jesup  gathering  on  the  way 
such  stalwarts  as  they  might.  Al  James 
was  contacted  in  the  <iua<l  an<l  came  with 


a  group  of  three  or  four  freshmen.  Morgan 
Hall  was  aroused  by  a  self-appointed 
recruiting  oflicer  who  travelled  about  in  a 
cloud  of  cigar  smoke  shaking  out  all  the 
inmates  whose  lights  were  lit. 

By  the  time  forty  had  gathered  at  the 
12:40  center,  a  nuclear  group  had  been 
organized  to  intercept  the  incoming  arniy 
aiid  follow  it  tv)  town.  When  the  scene  of 
its  operations  had  been  determined,  the 
group  was  to  send  a  runner  to  summon  the 
shock  troops  lying  in  wait  at  Jesup. 

Acting  on  a  last  triumphant  tip  from  the 
grapevine,  a  earful  was  sent  out  to  meet 
the  Jeffers  coming  in  from  North  Adams. 
It  followed  them  into  town  but  lost  them 
as  they  separated  to  go  into  action. 
Amherst  Heads  for  Bennington 

The  first  operations  discovered  were  on 
Park  Street,  midway  between  the  Theta 
Dclt  house  and  the  Faculty  Club,  where 
one  of  the  attacking  s(|uads  was  busy 
painting  a  large  "Amherst"  on  the  asphalt.

Wary  Jeffs   Gird  For 
Eph  Assault  on  Sabrina 

Fearing  Williams  retaliation  lor 
Tuesday's  thwarted  raid,  Jeff  uniler- 
classmen  covered  all  roads  leading  to 
Amherst  with  a  guard  of  students  dis- 
guised as  state  troopers  last  Wednes- 
day and  Thursda\'  nights.  The 
"state  troopers"  were  prepared  to 
halt  all  Williams  cars,  arrest  the 
drivers  for  speeding,  and  force  them 
to  park  by  the  side  of  the  road  for  two 
hours,  allowing  Amherst  time  to  pre- 
pare for  the  raid.

Sports  Editor.  The  Amiitisl  SInilcnl 

Preparing  for  the  .S8th  annual  game  in 
the  time-honored  rivalr>"  between  Am- 
her.st  and  Williams  Coach  Lloyd  P. 
Jordan  has  been  putting  his  squad  through 
intensive  drills  in  an  effort  to  bring  Ani- 
her.st  back  into  the  win  column  of  the 
Williams  series  and  also  to  annex  its  first 
Little  fhree  championship  since  i9i9. 
Although  the  Johnston  Trophy  is  ofiicially 
no  longer  in  existence,  it  too  can  be  con- 
sidered as  something  at  stake  for  it  g(H\s 
without  saying  that  the  Jeffs  are  out  to 
establish  their  superiority  in  the  year's 
athletic  competition. 

For  the  information  of  Williams  fans 
and  prognosticators,  it  might  be  well  to 
dwell  for  a  moment  on  the  record  of  the 
Sabrina  team  to  date.  When  practice 
was  called  on  Septendier  3,  Coach  Jordan's 
main  problem  seemed  to  lie  in  shaping 
adequate  reserves.  All  indications  point- 
ed toward  a  fast  and  moderateh'  powerful

Holden-Led  Eleven 
Set  To  Run  Streak 
Over  Jeffs  to  3 

Experienced  Line,  Tricky 
Backs  Give  Purple  Edge 
Before     Expected      9,000 


by  CouiiT  WnrriN  '43 
A  fast,  hard-billing  Williams  eleven 
which  has  .swept  all  opposition  before  it  in 
six  out  of  .seven  games  comes  to  grips  with 
Amherst  on  W'eston  I'ield  tomorrow  before 
a  sell-out  House  Party  crowd  with  hopes 
riding  high  to  keep  the  Little  Three  crown 
in  Williamstown  for  another  year. 

The  Purple  steam  roller  has  piled  up  a 
total  of  163  points  against  27  for  their 
opponents,  20  of  which  came  al  the  hands 
of  Princeton.  Tufts  is  the  only  small 
college  team  to  break  intt)  the  scoring 
ciilunm,  and  the  Jumbos  were  decisively 
s(iuashed,  34-7.  Middlehury,  North- 
eastern, Bowdoin,  Union,  and  Wesleyan 
failed  to  cross  the  Purple  goal  line. 
Princeton  is  the  only  black  mark  on  a 
clean  slate. 

Holden  Leads  Team 

Fullback  Herb  Holden  will  he  game- 
captain  for  the  season's  finale,  the  last  of 
eight  seniors  to  fill  the  shoes  of  missing 
Captain  Jack  llaly.  Also  pla\  ing  th.lr 
last  game  for  the  Purple  are  Kd  Callahan. 
Mit  Hall,  Marsh  llannock,  Al  Hearne, 
Johnny  Irwin,  Cy  Morgan,  and  Hu 
Oswald,  seniors  who  have  been  the  back 
bone  of  this  year's  top-notch  eleven.  A 
victory  over  Ainhersl  will  crown  as  suc- 
cessful a  season  as  any  in  Williams  history. 
Purple   Line  Well-Balanced 

Caldwell  will  pit  a  well-balanced  team 
against  the  Jnrdan-roached  Sabrinas  to- 
morrow-. The  line  is  heavy  and  esperi- 
enced,  with  ends  Hearne  and  Boh  Wallace 
top-notch  both  defensively  an<l  as  pass 
receivers.  Bill  Schmidt,  Gunnar  lla\es, 
and  Haimock  have  been  tossing  hiill's-eye 
passi-s  all  ov<'r  the  field  this  season,  and 
these  men  are  fast,  dangerous  broken-field 
runners,  Holden  is  the  answer  to  any 
coach's  dream  for  a  shifty,  hard-hiding 
fullback  with  three  \ears  of  varsity  ex- 
perience behind  him.  Bud  Tcwksliur\' 
can  inatch  hoots  with  an\'  kicker  in  the 
East,  and  Tom  Powers  is  not  far  behind 
in  this  department. 

Fresh  from  whitewashing  Wesle\an 
25-0  last  wec'k.  Coach  Charlie  Caldwell's 
eleven  will  be  on  the  right  side  of  the 
betting  odds,  hut  odds  signify  less  than 
nothing  in  a  wide-open  Williams-.'Vinherst 
battle.  Sounding  an  ondnous  note  from 
Amherst,  Captain  Tom  Mulrox-  says  his 
team  is  "more  keyed  up  than  I  have  ever 
seen  it,  and  we  will  be  gunning  for  vic- 
tory... No  matter  what  the  outcome, 
your  team  will  know  it  has  played  a  ball 
game." 

Amherst  Beaten  Twice 

Before  last  week's  13-8  setback  from  an 
unbeaten,  untied  Trinity  outfit,  Amher.st's 
record  had  been  marred  onK-  hy  a  47-7 
shellacking  from  Dartmouth.  .Amherst 
has  not  won  a  Williams  game  for  two  years; 
so  the  Sabrinas  were  probably  saving  them- 
selves against  Trinity  in  favor  of  to- 
morrow's contest.  A  tight  16-7  derisi(ni 
over  Wesle>an  is  the  first  Little  Three 
victory  for  the  Lonl  JcfTs  since    l')38. 

Secret  practices  have  kept  the  Purple 
squad  working  late  hir  the  past  four  da\  s 
as  Coach  Caldwell  pulls  a  few  last-niinule 
tricks  out  of  the  bag  —  something  that 
the  JelT  scouts  won't  have  in  their  note- 
books. Reserve  teams  have  been  running 
through  Amherst  plays  to  give  the  varsity 
defensive  practice. 

Eph  Lina-Up  Indefinite 

The  Eph  line-up  is  still  indefinite,  but 
the  starting   team   should   be  much   the 
same     as     last    week.     Coach     Caldwell

WMS  To  Throw  Party 
At  3:00  Saturday  Morn 

Johnny      Long      Interview 
Other     Special     Feature 


"WMS,  the  powerful  little  six-watter 
up  in  Jesup,  will  interview  Johnny  Long, 
and  throw  a  terrific  party  Saturday  morn- 
ing, but  we're  really  just  going  to  cele- 
brate the  weekend  quietly,"  said  William 
R.  Witherell,  '43  Program  r)irector,  last 
night.  "Only  a  limited  number  of  people 
can  fit  in  our  studios,  even  at  three  in  the 
morning." 

Long  To  Be  Interviewed 

Johnny  Long,  leader  of  Friday  night's 
dance  band,  will  be  interviewed  by 
Witherell  at  5:15  that  evening  over  WMS 
airwaves.  "It  is  possible  that  Long's 
vocalist,  Helen  Young  may  be  on  hand  to 
say  a  few  words  to  Williams  weekenders. 
A  great  deal  of  efifort  is  going  into  this 
interview  to  make  it  as  colorful  and  in- 
teresting as  possible." 

High  note  of  the  weekend  will  be  struck 
at  WM.S'  party,  (no  stags  allowed)  in, 
over  and  around  the  studios  at  3:00  Sat- 
urday morning,  when  Williams'  dates  will 
get  a  chance  to  get  a  word  in  edgewise. 
"Educational  topics,  thai  is,  academic 
topics,  ma>-  be  slightly  overlooked  at  this 
point  in  the  discussion,  but  it  is  certain 
that  we  will  get  around  totbefundainental 
interests  of  most  Williams  men.  Strict 
censorship  and  choice  of  ideas  may  be 
slighted  but  it  will  be  colorful,  colorful," 
said  Witherell. 

Invitation  Open  To  All 

Loyal  listeners  of  WMS  will  have  the 
opportunity  at  last  to  see  the  station  from 
the  inside  when  they  bring  their  dates  up 
to  the  to|)  of  Jesup  Saturday.  The  official 
invitation  is  not  yet  out  but  a  proiluctiim

Much  Ado  About  Nothing  is,  as  Shake- 
speare's apt  title  indicates,  some  two  and  a 
half  hours  of  sparkling  wit,  rowdy  humor, 
romantic  burlesque,  dainty  devices,  and 
less  daint\'  trickery — all  of  which  accom- 
plish exactly  nothing.  The  two  pairs  of 
lovers  are  enamored  when  the  play  begins, 
and  they  are  still  just  this  side  of  the  altar 


standards  brought  about  by  the  passing 
of  three  centuries.  In  last  night's  per- 
formance, Dogberry  was  too  zealously 
overplayed.  I^eonato  and  Hero  were  loo 
sincerely  tragic  in  scenes  which  should 
have  been  played  so  that  the  audience 
never  once  doubted  that  things  would 
come  right  in  the  end.     Several  characters. 


at    the    end.     The    play    is    magnificent  I  in   the  earlier  scenes  particularly,   enun- 
theatre — everything   is  done  for  effect  and   ciated  so  carelessly  that  their  lines  were 


for  the  audience's  delight.  It  is  comedy 
and  the  audience  is  meant  to  know  it  is 
comedy.  In  last  night's  performance  at 
the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre  what 
Shakespeare  intended  was  not  always 
achieved;  the  comedy  was  sometimes 
obscured,  but  there  were  moments,  even 
whole  scenes,  when  the  play  came  through 
clear  and  true. 

Dogberry  may  think,  but  not  Shake- 
speare, that  "Comparisons  are  odious;" 
certainly  no  critic  could  get  along  without 
them,  nor  will  this  one  try.  The  use  of  a 
unit  set  is  to  be  commended,  and  the  one 
against  which  the  play  was  performed  was 
excellent — appropriately  simple  and  sug- 
gestive. The  stained  glass  window  which 
marred  the  two  church  scenes  was  un- 
happily extraneous.  For  one  thing,  it 
added  too  much  realism  to  scenes  already 
too  .seriously  played  to  fit  into  the  comic 
mood  of  the  play.  Dancing  should  be 
suggestive  of  joy  and  the  holiday  mood; 
the  dance  at  the  end  of  the  play  was  half- 
hearted and  so  prolonged  as  to  be  anti- 
climactic.  The  music,  it  seems  to  me, 
should  have  had  more  volume.  The 
vocal  music  was  rendered  in  the  true  spirit 
of  the  play,  though  even  there  more  light- 
ness and  gaiety  would  not  be  amiss. 

If  a  play  is  perfectly  performed,  the 
crit  ic  is  often  at  a  loss  in  making  comments 
on  individual  actors.  I  am  sorry  that  I 
find  it  relatively  easy  to  single  out  indi- 
viduals and  even  particular  scenes  in 
which  those  individuals  appeared  as  the 
highlights  of  the  play.  It  is,  however, 
difficult  to  decide  whether  direction  or 
interpretation  or  acting  was  the  reason  for 
my  being  unmoved  by  other  performers 
and  other  scenes.  Since  Dogberry,  for 
instance,  has  not  seemed  funny  to  me  in 
last  night's  performance  or  in  either  of  two 
1  had  seen  earlier,  I  suspect  the  blame  may 
be  mine,  or  .Shakespeare's,  or  the  fact 
accounted  for  by  the  change  in  humorous

lost.  It  was  a  joy  to  hear  Claudlo's  voice 
ring  out  clear  and  vibrant.  All  too  seldom 
was  the  audience  aware  when  the  dialogue 
was  in  verse.  Throughout  1  should  have 
liked  more  lightness  of  touch,  more  feeling 
for  words  and  neatly  turned  phrases,  more 
truly  comic  reading  of  the  lines.  It  was 
when  the  play  had  these,  and  in  many 
scenes  they  were  there,  that  it  moved 
swiftly  and  amusingly.  There  were  few 
scenes  in  which  the  pace  might  not  well 
have  been  more  rapid. 

Since  Much  Ado  is  their  play,  it  is  fitting 
that  Beatrice  and  Benedick  should  be 
saved  for  the  last.  Benedick  began  hesi- 
tantly but  after  his  lir.st  appearances  let 
himself  go,  and  was  riotously  witty  and 
amusing.  The  part  calls  for  letting  one- 
self go.  Beatrice  was,  as  the  play  demands, 
the  saving  grace  in  ever\'  instance,  keen, 
and  pert,  and  saucy — occasionally'  so 
saucy  as  to  den>'  the  audience  part  of  her 
lines,  but  always  sure  to  make  up  for  it 
with  a  sly  and  impudent  gesture.  The

McLaren's      Own      Group 
Working     with     Faculty 

Acting  on  |Hnver  delegated  to  him  by  the 
Undergraduate  Council  Cyrus  N.  Morgan 
'42  appointed  a  three-man  committee 
Monday  of  Willard  C.  Hatch,  Jr.,  Arthur 
A.  Richmond,  Jr.,  and  Alexander  M. 
-Swain,  Jr.  '42  to  promote  the  sales  of 
defense  savings  bonds  in  the  under- 
graduate body.  In  the  meantime  the 
faculty  group,  formed  three  weeks  ago, 
has  swung  into  action  under  the  leader 
ship  of   Chairman    Walter   W.   McLaren. 

Swain,  who  heads  the  student  com- 
mittee, stated  that  the  first  move  of  his 
group  will  be  to  confer  with  Professor 
McLaren  so  that  some  coordinated  cam- 
paign might  be  developed  between  the  two 
bodies.  Mr.  McLaren,  who  headed  the 
campaign  for  the  sale  of  liberty  bonds  in 
Williamstown  during  World  War  I  is  of 
the  opinion  that  the  two  bodies  should 
"work  in  close  harmony,"  yet  each  com- 
mittee should  look  after  its  own  field 
individually. 

At  the  last  faculty  meeting  Mr.  Mc- 
Laren urged  professors  to  purchase  de- 
fense stamps  and  bonds.  His  committee 
of  Professors  Donald  H.  Richmond  and 
Alan  Sweezy  has  already  decided  to  send 
out  circulars  to  the  faculty  and  the 
administration  in  the  near  future.  These 
circulars  would  ask  the  receiver  to  pledge 
so  much  towards  the  purchase  of  bonds. 
These  bonds  may  be  bought  at  various 
prices  with  ten-year    appreciation.

Is  Democracy  Doomed? 

While  Russia's  woiiien  fight  beside  their  men  in  thi'  trenches  before 
Moscow,  while  Britain's  fairest  flock  to  the  production  lines  to  hurl 
Spitfires  into  the  air  against  the  Nazis,  what  are  the  wojiien  of  America 
doing  to  defend  the  democracy  they  supposedly  cherish?  What,  for 
that  matte,  are  llieir  men  doing  for  that  democracy.^ 

The  story  on  |)age  one  carries  the  answer.  Fom-  hundred  ard 
nineteen  Ainerican  girls  povK  into  Williainstown  for  two  or  three  days  of 


mu.st  fling  llie  gauntlet  in  the  teeth  of  the  new  barharisin.

The 


Letter  to  Editors 


III  Re  Last  Tuesday  Night 

To  the  liditors  iif    Tun  Kicciiud: 

Receiill\'  we  Amliersl  men  were  abso- 
lutely (luiiibfoumlid  to  hear  that  some 
ruffians  had  tried  to  paint  up  the  Williams 
bicaeheis.  Piut  we  were  e\en  more 
startled  and  disnuiyed  to  hear  that  the 
men  of  Williams  were  lilaminn  their  sister 
college  for  the  dastardle  act  of  last 
Tuesday  night. 

We  wish  to  assert  that  no  Amherst  man 
would  pull  a  rotten  trick  like  that.  We 
admit  with  regret  thai  Williams  did  throw 
a  lot  of  paint  around  here  hist  >'ear, 
but  we  certainly  wouldn't  think  of  copy- 
ing you.  Even  if  we  had  contemplated 
painting  up  the  Williams  campus,  we 
certainly  wouldn't  have  been  so  stupiil 
to  let  our  plans  lie  known  before  going  up 
there.  Hesides,  if  Amherst  men  had  been 
in  Williainstown  Tuesday  night,  they 
could  easily  have  taken  care  of  the  small 
grotip  of  WilHams  men  who  wtnild  have 
turned  out  to  stop  them. 

No  Amherst  man  has  ever  gotten  down 
on  his  knees  to  a  Williams  man.  In  all 
friendship,  yon  must  admit  that  no  Wil- 
liams man  or  group  of  Williams  men  could 
easily  capture  a  group  of  .Amherst  painters, 
had  any  Amherst  man  contemplated  such 
a  repiehensible  stunt  as  happened  in 
Williainstown  Tuesday. 

We've  always  considered  Williams  men 
to  be  on  the  same  level  with  and  etiual  to 
Andierst  men.  Vet  when  we  find  Wil- 
liams men  accusing  the  members  of  their 
sister  college  of  an  act  for  which  they 
have  no  evidence,  wc  feel  we  must  protest 
fiercely. 

Very  truly  yours, 
Amherst's  Eleven  Men  I

"All  invited."     The  program,  correspond- 
ing to  girl  quizzes  of  former  years,  will  be 
generally  unplanned  and  left  to  Fate  as  to 
the  course  the  discussion  will  follow. 

Other  programs  will  be  run  on  regular 
schedule  save  for  the  Friday  Musical 
Nightcap  which  conflicts  with  the  formal 
dance.  The  station  will  not  broadcast  at 
all  on  Saturday  evening  but  will  be  on  the 
air  Monday  at  their  regular  time. 


C\rus  N.  Morgan  '42,  president  of  the 
Undergraduate  Council,  released  last 
Tuesday  the  official  regulations  adopletl 
by  the  U.  C.  to  govern  the  activities  of 
students  and  their  guests  during  house 
party  weekend. 

The  college  regulations  compel  all  stu- 
dents that  intend  to  have,  girls  in  theii 
dormitory  rooms  to  register  at  the  Dean's 
Office.  Guests  will  be  allowed  in  the 
rooms  from  1 1 :00  a.m.  to  7  p.m.  and  at  nii 
other  times. 

List  of  Regulations 

The  following  rules  have  been  drawn  up 
by  the  Council  for  Amherst  weekend  am 
will  apply   to  all   undergraduates  as   we 
as  alumni: 

"1.  The  head  of  each  house  is  asked  to 
cooperate  with  the  Floor  Committee  from 
the  Undergraduate  Council  in  assuming 
responsiliility  for  the  contluct  of  the  mem- 
bers of  his  bouse  at  all  dances. 
"2.  It  is  understood  that  the  conduct  ol

and  the  names  of  the  chaperones. 
"5.  Girls  are  allowed  to  be  in  the  college 
dormitories  from  11  a.m.  to  7  p.m.  and  at 
no  other  time.

these  rules  may  be  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  Undergraduate  Council  and,  if

"7.  A  eop\-  of  these  regulations  shall  lie 
sent  to  all  houses." 


WEEKEND 


(Continued  from  page  I) 
that  the  evening  will  still  be  young. 

At  8:30  p.  m.  tonight  Cap  and  liells  will 
make  its  olTering  to  the  festivities  through 
the  production  of  Much  Ado  About  Nothing 
in  the  AMT.  Acclaimed  by  some  critics 
as  the  most  brilliant  of  Shakespeare's 
comedies,  it  is  supported  b\'  a  east  of 
twenty-oni'.  live  of  whom  arc  factil 
\v  i\-es. 

Gym  Equals  Parisian  Cafe 
From  the  AMT  the  scene  of  action  shifts 
to  tlie  Lasell  Cymnasiuin.  Johnny  Long's 
Duke  band  with  Helen  Nouiig  doing  the 
vocals  will  take  o\er  for  five  hours  of 
formal  ilaneing  midst  an  arrtiy  of  awnings, 
lampposts,  and  French  doors  that  has 
trarisfornicd  the  Gym  into  ii  Parisian  cafe. 
Another  iio\elty  is  the  eoiii|)ctitioii  for 
"best  house  party  girl"  with  the  winner's 
escort  getting  all  his  weekend  expenses 
paid.  At  the  3:00  a.  m.  curfew  WMS  will 
take  to  the  air  with  free  beer  and  lots  of 
party  for  all  coujiles  in  the  studio. 

For  the  early  morning  riser  who  really 
wants  to  do  the  weekend  up  right  there 
are  three  games  at  Cole  Field  Saturday 
morning.  At  10:30  a.  ni.  the  varsity  iind 
freshman  soccer  teams  will  start  to  go 
after  Amherst  shins  and  the  yearling 
eleven  will  tackle  a  powerful  Sabrina 
squad. 

Game  Seats  All  Sold  Out 
•Since  Graduate  Manager  of  Athletics 
Albert  W  Osterhout  '06  ann.iunced  that 
tickets  to  the  Williams-Amherst  game  were 
sold  out  long  ago  and  that  he  expects  a 
record  crowd  here  tomorrow  the  parade 
down  Main  Street  is  sure  to  be  the  biggest 
one  since  193.S  when  9,000  fans  storm  on  to 
Weston  Field.  At  tomorrow's  game  the 
memorable  Williams-Amherst  struggle  of 
oughty-ought  will  be  reenacted  by  Wilson 
Uarnes,  Jr.  '42  and  troupe  during  the 
half.  Another  betwcen-the-haK-es  feature 
will  be  the  bagpiping  of  Johnny  Row- 
trotham  who  will  make  his  initial  appear- 
ance of  the  year  having  recently  repaired 
his  appar,atus  with  a  blowout  patch. 

Music  continues  to  take  the  limelight 
with  Bunny  Berigan  playing  at  a  tea  dance 
in  the  Gym  after  the  game.  Continuation 
of  this  innovation  in  years  to  come  de- 
pends on  the  crowd  attracted  to  it  to- 
morrow. As  for  Saturday  night's  dance — 
it  will  be  the  same  Parisian  Cafe  setting  as 
the  night  before,  only  Berigan  will  be 
giving  out  with  his  /  Can't  Get  Started 
With  You.  Both  afternoon  and  evening 
dances  are  informal  with  the  music  stop- 
ping at  6:00  p.  m.  and  12:00  p.  m.  respec- 
tively. 

Friday  and  Saturday  nights  will  sec 
Spring  Street  wide  open  until  2:00  a.  m, 
and  later  in  some  cases.  Mr.  Milham 
reports  that  on  neither  of  these  nights  will 
the  moon  be  large  enough  to  make  looking 
for  it  worthwhile.

Underdog  Soccer  Eleven  Guns  forTjtleJ^oniorrow 


Williams  Booters 
Battle  Lord  Jeffs 
For  Soccer  Crown 

Greatly  Improved  Purple 
To  Meet  Undefeated 
Amherst  on    Cole  Field 


hy  NioN  K.  TncKEB,  Jn.,  '44 

Coach  I  nek'  Ed  Bullock  plans  to  un- 
leash the-  sanu-  starting  line-up  that  held 
\\'esle\'aii  at  l)a\  last  week  aRainst  Am- 
herst soccer  eleven  on  Cole  Field  tomorrow 
niornini-.  This  last  and  crucial  battle  for 
the  Little  Three  Soccer  Championship 
will  he  the  tcmRhest  the  Purple  has  entered 
this  season. 

Cliniaxint;  a  year  of  had  breaks,  the 
Williams  soccer  s(iuad  is  looking  towards 
a  victory  over  their  traditional  rivals, 
basinj;  their  hopes  on  the  large  improve- 
ment and  creditable  showiiij;  made  against 
Wesleyan  in  Middletown  last  week. 
Weak  Attack  Hampers  Purple 

The  main  drag  oil  the  Purple's  power 
has  been  a  weak  attack.  The  trouble 
stems  from  iiii  early  season  blow  that  stole 
Coach  Bullock's  threi>  best  forwards. 
Johnny  Gibson,  returning  letterman,  seri- 
ously sprained  his  ankle  and  has  bem 
kepi  off  the  field  until  eaH\-  this  week, 
and  George  Simson,  efficient  left  wing, 
tore  a  muscle  that  is  still  not  completely 
healed. 

Wilhin  a  week  of  these  injuries,  Kiyo 
'I'urumi,  the  Purple's  nimble  right  wing, 
received  an  order  to  return  to  Tokio  for  a 
|)h\sical  examination  required  by  the 
terms  of  the  new  Nipponese  c(mscriplion 
law. 

Since  these  losses,  Bullock  has  been 
hard  set  to  fill  ihi'  gaps  in  the  forward  litU'; 
the  main  troubh'  is  no  deficiency  of  in- 
dividual skill,  but  a  real  lack  of  uni(y  and 
concerted  punch.  The  constani  switch- 
ing that  has  been  necessary  to  find  the 
best  combination  has  made  this  lack  a  real 
problem. 

Brown  Converted  to  Forward 

With  the  conversion  of  fullback  Bruce 
Brown  to  the  left  outside  position,  and 
the  placing  of  sophcmiores  Hill  Brewer, 
George  Crandall,  Boh  Bensen,  and  Hugh 
Masters  acrn.ss  the  front  line,  the  Purple 
coach  seems  to  have  found  a  good  work- 
ing group.  This  attack  changed,  in  one 
week's  practice,  from  five  good  soccer 
pla\ers  to  a  forward  line  gciiid  enough  to 
w(irr\-  the  goal  of  last  year's  New  England 
Champions  during  most  of  the  Middle- 
town  game.  From  this  last  week's  work- 
out, Bullock  expects  them  to  beconte  an 
A-1  scoring  combination. 

Main.sla\  of  Ihe  Williams  booters  will 
be  the  fullback  combination  of  Captain 
Joe  C<ichran  and  Binnie  Barnes,  both  of 
them  exp<'rts  at  keeping  the  pay  dirt 
cleared  during  critical  moments.  Barnes' 
playing  against  V\'esleyan  was  nothing 
short  of  exceptional,  while  Cochran's 
slead>  playing  is  becoming  proverbial 
with  thes(|uadand  its  followers.  Behind 
these  two,  guarding  the  goal,  is  Norm 
Lowell,  veteran  keeper  of  the  nets. 

Between   the  defense  and  the  new  for- 
ward   line    are    center    halfbacks    Larry

opening  whistle  of  the  Wesleyan  niuiic; 
so  it's  hard  to  tell.  Al  Hearnc,  who  has 
played  in  every  game  for  three  years,  is  a 
sure  bet  for  one  flank,  and  Bob  Wallace 
will  be  on  the  other.  Oswald,  mentioned 
as  Ail-American  material,  will  be  sta- 
tionarj-  tackle,  and  Satch  Lare  scenis  the 
best  bet  for  the  other  tackle  slot  with 
Coby  Wilson  and  Callahan  in  reserve, 
Johnny  Sliegman  or  Ralph  Renzi  will 
pair  up  with  Hall  as  guards  on  either  -.id,. 
of  rugged  center  Bill  Courter,  who  has 
sensationally  filled  the  hole  left  by  Daly's 
absence. 

Excepting  Holden  at  fullback,  backfielil 
starters  are  still  indefinite,  but  indicat  juris 
point  to  Morgan  as  quarterback  with 
breakiiway  runners  Guimar  Hayes  and 
Bill  Schmidt  or  Marsh  Hannock  al  the 
halfback  posts.  Powers  and  Downs  will 
be  on  hand  for  plenty  of  action,  with  Huil

Those  happy-go-lucky  gri<lders  at  .Ar-

manoeuvre  that  you  might  very  well  ,iild 
as  a  novelty  act  to  the  coming  Andirrsi

Against  Bradley  Tech,  the  Aggies  lined 
up  for  a  kick-off  with  the  man  who  |ire- 
sumably  was  going  to  kick  down  undei  Ids 
own  goal  posts.  Me  took  off  like  a  luii- 
away  locomotive,  charged  up  the  field  al 
a  tremendous  speed  —  and  fell  flat  on  his 
face  on  the  30-yard  line.  At  that  insl.ini 
one  of  his  teammates  kicked  the  ball,  a 
short  one  which  A.  and  M.  recovered  as  a 
successful  onside  kick,  gaining  a  lirst 
down  in  Bradley  Territory.

newly  actiuired  passing  ability,  the  Bates-

can  be  made  between  the  two  schools  by 
looking  at  scores,  and,  as  is  only  too  well 
known,  it  is  hard  to  pick  the  outcome  of 
such  a  game  since  nnjst  anything  is  apt 
to  happen.  Injuries  as  always  have  been 
a  hindrance  to  the  AmhersI  sqtiad  bul 
this  weekend  should  find  the  squad  at  top 
strength.  The  AmhersI  ends  will  be 
strcmg  and  will  [jrovide  trouble  for  their 
opponents.  Bill  Smythe  and  Bud  Hasse 
will  fill  those  positions  with  Bob  Johnson, 
Bill  Morrow  and  Bob  Agnew  as  capable 
reserves.  At  tackle  will  he  "Kollo" 
Smith  and  Jack  Heald  with  Verne  Wil-

Sid  Peck  and  Ken  Hardy  are  probable 
choices  at  guard  with  Dick  Kimball  and 
Jack  Lindsay  also  possibilities.  Bcb 
O'Connor  will  be  back  in  action  at  center 
with  "Red"  Thomas  due  to  see  action  also. 
In  the  backfield,  most  anything  is  apt 
to  happen  as  far  as  the  starting  lineup 
goes,  but  it  is  a  cinch  that  Blood  and 
Mulroy  will  play  a  good  part  of  the  time 
at  left  half  and  full  back  respectively. 
Bob  Agnew  and  diminutive  Chick  Koebel 
will  trade  oflf  at  the  other  halfback  post 
while  Perry  Sawyer  is  the  probable  starter 
at  quarter.  Other  backs  due  for  action 
are  sophomore  Jim  Carey,  Obie  Slinger-

Eph  Harriers  Seek 
Little  Three  Title 

Hope  to  Upset  Favored 
Wesleyan;  Lord  Jeffs 
in    Role    of    Underdogs 


With  Wesleyan  a  favorite  to  retain  its 
1  itle,  Amherst  the  underdog,  and  Williams 
east  in  the  role  of  a  'dark  horse',  Coach 
Tony  Plansky's  cross-country  team  jour- 
neys to  the  home  of  the  Lord  Jeffs  4:00 
|).  m.  Friday  afternoon  in  an  effort  to  re- 
irain  its  Little  Three  title  lost  to  the  Wes- 
iiien  last  season. 

According  to  a  comparative-score  yaril- 
stick,  the  Amherst  entrants  are  due  to  have 
.1  tough  time  of  it.  Their  1 7-44  loss  to  a 
Springfield  crew  which  in  turn  was  de- 
uated  by  the  Cardinals  26-29,  points  the 
i\ay  to  the  probability  of  a  battle  between 
Williams  and  Wesleyan  with  Amherst  out 
n  the  cold. 

Williams  Line-up 

ICntering  as  practically  the  same  team 
liat  captured  the  championship  last  year, 
he  Wesleyan  aggregation  is  led  by  Cap- 
ain  Holmes,  winner  of  the  1940  race,  with 
erguson  and  Giza  coinpleting  a  powerful 
rii).  Opposing  this  combine,  Coach 
i'lansky  will  fieltl  a  well-balanced  team  led 
iv  the  quintet  of  Dave  Brown,  Brew 
I'hapnian,  Maurrie  Goodbody,  Captain 
Hcdi  Griggs,  and  Ken  Moore  which  nego- 
liated  a  clean  sweep  at  Union  two  weeks 
iiio.  Art  Richmond  and  Ed  Shefiield  are 
ls{i  likely  to  place  well  up  in  front  for  the 
I'urple. 

Since  its  l.S-4()  shellacking  of  I'nion  on 
\civeinber  1,  the  Williams  harriers  have 
liien  going  through  a  set  of  rigorous  work- 
ails,  with  special  emphasis  on  hill  work 
>ncl  time  trials,  in  pre|)aration  for  the 
■u])-hill-down-dale"  Amherst  course.  The 
nid\'  casualty  thus  far  for  th<-  I'urple  has 
lieeii  a  slightly  sprained  ankle  suffered  by 
Itrew  Chapman  <'arl\-  this  week.  Chap- 
ni.in  feels,  however,  that,  barring  all  niis- 
liaps,  this  misfortune  should  make  no 
■  lilTi-rence  in  his  running  ability. 

Williams  will  go  into  the  triangular  meet 
with  two  weeks  of  stiff  practice  under 
iludr  belts  and  a  record  of  two  wins,  over 
linion  and  Middlelmry,  and  one  lo.ss,  to 
Vermont,  behind  them.  Wesleyan  boasts 
viet<iries  over  Springfield  and  Coast 
C.nanl,  a  23-.^2  loss  to  Yale,  and  second 
ipl.iee  in  the  C(mnecticut  Valley  Cham- 
pi(Miships  held  last  iVIonday. 

Williams  Flying  Club's 
Field  Approved  Monday 

Foundations    to    be    Laid 
for    New    Hangar    Soon 


With  the  certification  of  their  new  air- 
porl  by  Massachusetts  Director  of  Avia- 
lidu,  John  W.  Lasell  '20,  on  Monday,  the 
Williams  Flying  Club  realized  another 
important  step  in  their  planned  increased 
.letivity. 

.'\ided  by  a  borrowe<l  bulldozer,  the 
'  hdi  metiibers  have  completed  their  main 
I  nnway  and  are  preparing  to  pour  the 
'  "iicrete  for  the  foundations  of  the  new 
'  ingar.  Whether  or  not  negotiations  for 
I  he  long  sought  hangar  are  successful  in 
he  near  future,  the  foundations  will  be 
^  ill  as  soon  as  possible. 

For  this  year,  the  Flying  Club  plans  to 
!  irticipate  in  at  least  three  meets  between 
Williams,    Amherst    and    Smith,    one    of 

hich  will  be  held  in  the  winter,  the  others 
■1  the  spring. 

.\lso  in  the  spring  will  come  the  Inter- 

'llegiate  Air  Meet,  featuring  the  c(mi- 
vlition  of  at  least  six  other  entrants. 
IN  illiams  was  able  to  place  fourth  in  this 
"eel  last  year,  and,  by  dint  of  its  in- 
riased  size  and  the  large  growth  of 
'Uerest  in  flying,  hopes  to  finish  even 
'  l"ser  to  the  top  this  spring 


Go  Get  'Em,  Williams—  If  You  Can,  Amherst 


Wesleyan  Coach  Wes  Fesler  Gives  Purple 
Eleven  Undisputed  Edge  over  Lord  Jeffs 

Williams'  well-oiled  football  machine  should  have  little  trouble  in  subduing 
Amherst  in  the  Little  Three  title  match  on  Weston  Field  Saturday,  according  to 
Wesleyan's  head  coach  Weslej-  Fesler,  interviewed  after  last  Saturday's  game. 
Coach  Fe.sler  is  in  a  position  to  know  what  he  is  talking  about,  since  his  team  has  had 
unsuccessful  contact  with  both  elevens. 
Williams  Better  'All-round' 


"From  the  performances  of  both  teams 
against  Weslejan,"  said  the  Cardinal 
mentor,  "there  is  no  (|uestion  as  to  how 
the  two  teams  stack  up.  Williams  has  a 
better  all-round  team  and  should  be  able 
to  win  hands  down."  Coach  Fesler 
admitted  the  un<iuestioned  Purple  superi- 
ority over  his  eleven,  but  pointed  out 
that  the  Middletown  outfit  had  given 
Amherst  a  real  battle  before  going  under 
16-7. 

The  Wesleyan  coach  gives  the  Williams 


Sports  Editors'  Poll 

Ted  Husing 

Williams  is  a  cinch  to  w'in  the  tra- 
ditional struggle  with  Amherst,  but 
if  an\-  strangers  sa\-  that  to  you  on  the 
street,  knock  them  down,  ascertain 
their  Dun  and  Broadstreel  standing, 
and  then  wager  him  \()ur  allowance. 
What  do  you  think  I'd  say  if  Amherst 
asked  me  the  same  question?  Love 
and  hisses,  Ted  Husing. 

Stanley  Woodward 

1  think  that  Williams  has  a  stronger 
football  team  than  Amherst  this  year 
and  I  expect  it  will  win  the  game. 
This,  of  course,  is  contrary  to  my  hope. 
Stanle\'  Woodward  of  the  New  York 
Herald-'l'ribune. 

John   liardner 

1  believe  Williams  will  win  20-7  be- 
cause Rufus  Stanlc\-  Woodward,  old 
time  Andierst  colossus  of  the  New 
York  Herald-Tribune,  has  tossed  in 
the  sponge,  also  picking  Williams. 
John   Larilner. 

John   Kiernan 

This  will  be  a  heavy  handicap  (or 
Williams  to  carry.  But  my  guess  is 
that  Williams  will  (wercome  Amherst 
in  this  dashing  football  scrimmage  just 
ahead.     John  Kiernan. 

George   Kirk 
of  the  Wesleyan  i4r£H,s 

Amherst  turned  back  Wesleyan  on 
breaks,  Williams  beat  the  Cardinals 
decisively.  On  basis  of  showing  plus 
dangerous  Purple  line  and  wealth  of 
backfield  material,  the  Ephmen  will 
chalk  up  a  hard  fought,  clean-cut 
victory  to  capture  the  Little  Three 
Championship.  George  Kirk. 
Bill  Cunningham 

My  best  remote  control  guess  is 
Williams  21,  Amherst  7.

Coaches,  Captains  Call 
The  Turn  on  Title  Clash 


Coach  Lloyd  Jordan : 

"A  football  contest  is  most  difficult  to 
predict.  Your  Williams  team  has  proven 
outstanding  during  the  season  with  plenty 
of  speed,  power,  and  ability;  in  fact,  they 
looked  to  be  one  of  the  outstanding  teams 
■n  New  England  this  fall,  so  we  look  for- 
ward to  playing  our  best  and  hope  we  can 
make  it  a  typical  Little  Three  contest." 
Captain  Tom  Mulroy: 

"We  are  not  in  the  habit  of  making  any 
predictions  before  a  ball  game.  The  team 
is  more  keyed  up  than  I  have  ever  seen  it, 
and  we  will  be  gunning  for  victor\-  on 
November  15.  Just  let  me  say  that  no 
matter  what  the  outcome,  your  team  will 
know  it  has  pla\ed  a  ball  game." 
Coach  Charlie  Caldwell: 

"It'll  be  like  any  Little  Three  game. 
Pre-game  dope  just  doesn't  mean  a  thing. 
The  outcome  will  be  decided  tomorrow 
afternoon  right  clown  on  Weston  Field." 
Captain  Herb  Holden: 

"We  have  the  team  to  beat  Amherst, 
so  all  we  need  now  is  a  good  day  and  the 
proper  determination." 


Chaffee  Primes    Yearling  Booters   to   Win 
Little   Three   Trophy   Tomorrow   Morning 

Underdog  Eph  Gridders  Meet   Powerful,    Undefeated 
Sabrina  Eleven  in  Attempt  to  Deadlock  Series 

Successful  to  the  tune  o(  4-1  against  Wesleyan  last  Saturday,  Coach  Clarence 
C.  Chaffee's  yearling  soccer  combine  is  favored  to  round  out  an  undefeated  season 
tomorrow  morning  at  10:30  on  Cole  Field  when  it  clashes  with  the  Lord  Jeff  booters 
in  an  attempt  to  regain  the  Little  Three  title  lost  last  year.  At  the  same  time 
Coach  Whoops  Snivejy's  band  of  warriors,  with  onl>'  one  victory  notch  on  its  belt,  is 
out  to  scalp  an  undefeated,  untied,  and  unscored  upon  Sabrina  eleven. 
Soccer  Team  Favored 

jarred  by  the  Jeffs,  14-9. 

Purple  Defeated  Choate 
The  Pur|)le's  record  for  the  season  has 
been  decidedly  mediocre,  with  only  a  7-6 
triumph  over  Choate  on  the  bright  side  of 
the  ledger.  In  their  other  two  encounters, 
the  Ephs  have  lost  out  because  of  a  failure 
to  convert  points  after  touchdowns. 
Norwich  took  them  into  camp,  7-6,  while 
Wesleyan,  the  eleven  whom  the  Sabrinas 
smeared,  46-0,  defeated  them,  14-13, 
despite  three  penalty-awarded  attempts 
for  the  conversion  after  the  first  tally. 
Knox  Calls  Signals 
Signal-caller  Andy  Knox  and  Charlie 
Wheeler  appear  to  be  Snively's  choices 
for  starting  (lankmen,  with  big  Art  Vorys 
and  Carl  Gruber  at  tackle.  Gordon 
Johndroe  has  one  of  the  guard  berths 
clinched,  but  Fred  Wardwell  and  Bill 
Rossell  are  scrapping  for  the  other. 
John  Glasgow  will  fill  the  running  center 
post. 

The  starters  behind  this  line  are  not 
definite  as  yet  with  Howie  Adams,  Larry 
Brashears,  John  Brown,  Ev  Gidley,  Les 
Johnston,  Em  Herndon,  and  Bill  Elder  all 
due  to  see  plenty  of  action. 

With  a  record  of  two  setbacks  in  as 
many  starts,  the  yearling  cross-country 
men  go  down  to  Amherst  this  afternoon 
as  a  decided  underdog  in  their  attempt  to 
regain  the  Little  Three  championship 
that  the  1944  harriers  copped  last  fall. 
Parker  Smith's  triumph  in  the  I'nicm 
meet  anil  second  against  Ml.  llermon  rate 
him  as  the  best  of  the  194.S  runners, 
although  Charlie  Pinkerton  is  pushing  him 
all  the  time.  Franny  Lathrop,  Bud 
Harlmami,  and  lul  Murphy  round  out 
the    Eph  quintet. 


'The  soccermen  now  hold  the  upper  hand 
in  the  Little  'Threi'  competition,  for  the 
Cardinal  outfit  that  they  overcame  has 
already  disposed  of  the  Jeff  combination 
two  weeks  ago.  In  their  other  games  to 
ilate,  the  Chaffeemen  have  C(jn(|uered 
the  trick\  K.P.I,  aggregation,  3-0,  after 
playing  a  2-2  overtime  deadlock  with 
Deerfiekl  in  the  opener. 

With  the  exception  of  Al  Dismukeswdio 
will  probably  replace  Art  McComb  at 
halfback,  Chaffee's  line-up  will  be  virtual- 
ly the  same  that  has  been  working  to- 
gether all  season.  Teaming  with  Uis- 
mukes  at  the  halfbacks  will  be  Denny 
X'olkmann  and  Nes  Bangs.  Fullbacks 
Chink  Walker  and  Bob  Chamberlain  will 
back  them  up,  while  Tom  Hoover  is  again 
in  the  goal. 

Beany  Kingsbury  and  Elliott  Stearns 
are  still  fighting  it  out  for  the  outside  left 
slot,  with  the  latter  having  the  upper  hand 
at  present.  The  rest  of  the  line  remains 
intact,  having  Cory  Wickershani  at  right 
outside,  Bernie  Seelbach  and  Bill  Eyre  as 
insides,  and  Larry  Smith  al  center. 
Amherst  'Tops'  in  N.  E 

In  Amherst,  Sniveh's  crew  meets  one 
of  the  best  freshman  clubs  in  New  Eng- 
land, who  in  (our  games  have  rolled  up 
the  incredible  total  o(  143  points,  while 
keeping  its  own  goal  line  uncrossed. 
Ninety-eight  of  these  markers  have  been 
tallied  b>'  a  big  back  nameil  .Smith,  who, 
according  to  Snively,  has  averaged  fifteen 
yards  each  time  he  has  put  his  hands  on 
the  pigskin.

Williams  Guns  For  34th  Victory  In 
Ancient  Rivalry;  Amherst  Its  21st 


"A  cow   is  a  vers'  good  animal   in   tlu*  field,  but  we  kick  her  out  <if  our   garden." 

When  Sam  Johnson  uttered  these  derogalor\'  words  of  wisdom,  he  never  fancied 

a    cow    that    might    be    contented    with    superiority     in     the     field.     But     when 

Williams'  lioggling  bovine  seeks  its  thirt\ -fourth   victory  against   Amherst's   naked 

nymph  tonioncjw  she  will  not  be  striving  for  horticultural  finesse. 

Rivalry  Started  1884 


.Since  Williams  started  its  rivalry  with 
Amherst  way  back  in  1884,  the  Purple  has 
accumulated  a  batting  average  of  .622, 
winning  thirty-three  games,  tying  four, 
and  dropping  twenty. 

For  the  first  two  \ears,  when  it  was 
customary  *to  play  two  encounters  each 
season,  the  Ephs  conquered  the  Jeffs  at 
ever\  meeting.  Not  until  the  (inal  game 
o(  1886did  Amherst  break  into  the  winning 
column,  defeating  the  Purple  .50-0. 
Ephs  Revenge  Defeats 

In  1887  the  Ephs  struck  back,  downing 


the  Jeffs,  54-0,  and  the  following  season 
completed  their  revenge  on  the  long  end 
of  a  53-0  count.  It  took  the  Sabrina  four 
years  to  recuperate,  but  they  made  up  for 
lost  time  in  1892  when  they  shellacked  the 
hajiless  Purple  b>'  the  largest  margin  ever 
recorded  in  the  fifty-seven  year  old  rivalry, 
60-0. 

Series  Discontinued 

In  1902  the  series  was  discontinued  when 

Williams  and  Wesleyan  accused  the  Lord 

Jeffs  of  "professionalism."     The  record  to

Guillen  '45  Prefers  Insipid'  College  Girls 
To  Moustached  Latin  Lassies  at  Home 


Williams'  solitary  Spanish  acquisition, 
Seville  born  C'lauclio  Ciiiillon  '45  thinl<s 
the  sultry  Spanish  scnoritas  are  strictly 
lukewarm  in  compaiison  with  the  Ameri- 
can sweater  anil  skirt  classic. 

"These  American  college  girls  are 
better  dressed  and  much  prettier  than  the 
girls  in  Spain,"  Ciiiillen  solenuily  observed 
in  a  recent  Rkcohd  interview,"  andthey're 
much — how  you  say — sexier."  In  fact 
(ruillen  thinks  coetis  are  pretty  nifty — if 
he  could  only  "toll  them  apart."  "All 
these  girls,  they're  standardized,"  he 
pointe<l  out.  "They  have  all  the  same 
socks,  all  the  siime  reversible  raincoats, 
and  all  the  same  boys'  sweaters."  Guillen 
particularly  takes  issue  with  the  hallowed 
undergraduate  cardigan.  "They  aren't 
feminine,"  he  objected,  "and  they  fit 
like  shapeless  sacks." 

U.  S.  Girls  Need  Personality 

Aside  from  their  feminine  charm  and 
effervescent  amiability,  however,  Guillen 
finds  the  American  college  girl  deficient  in 
personality  and  intelligence  and  generally 
"insipid."  "You  can't  get  anywhere  by 
being  intellectual  with  a  girl  here.  Ameri- 
can gills  are  funny,"  he  remarked;  "they 
go  from  one  extreme  to  the  other — noth- 
ing in  between.  Either  they're  hyper 
intellectuals  and  talk  about  Freudian 
complexes  on  a  date,  or  else  all  they  do  is 
sit  around,  giggle  and  drink  beer  and 
sing  college  songs."  Guillen  is  sore 
puzzled  by  this  strange  phenomenon. 
"I  can't  understand  it,"  hcaddcd,  "they 
just  don't  seem  to   know   how  to  be  in-

telligent  in  a-a-nornial,   smooth   way." 
Still  Likes  American  Girls 

Taking  all  factors  into  consideration, 
however,  Guillen  still  has  a  strong  prefer- 
ence for  American  femininity  over  the 
sunny  Spanish  brand.  "At  least  the  girls 
here  don't  have  moustaches,"  Giuillen 
declared,  referring  to  the  sun-sprouted 
Latin  hairlip.  Evidently  the  Spanish 
girls  have  been  kept  in  the  dark  about  the 
old  peroxide  trick — one  dab  on  the  upper 
lip  and  whoosh! — all  gone,  not  even  a 
shadow.  Guillen,  who  lived  in  Spain 
until  1936,  also  finds  Latin  construction 
offensive.  "The  girls  are  too  wide  and 
bony.  There's  nothing  at  all  ethereal 
about  them,"  he  declared. 

Turning  to  a  comparison  of  Spanish  and 
American  standards  of  morality,  Guillen 
observed  that  Latin  lasses  are  subjected 
to  a  much  more  rigorous  discipline.  "The 
girls  of  good  family,"  he  said,  "are  groom- 
ed very  carefully  when  they're  young  and 
kept  in  the  house  like  a  treasure.  They 
go  out  very  little  and  are  seldom  seen 
alone  in  the  streets."  Blind  dates  are 
strictly  taboo  for  a  proper  Latin  lass.  The 
boy  friend  has  to  meet  the  "old  man" 
and  get  the  official  stamp  of  approval  be 
fore  he  takes  daughter  out.  Smoking 
and  drinking  are  not  the  usual  procedure 
First-Sight  Love  Taboo 

Girls  in  Spain  usually  get  engaged  at  a 
very  tender  age.  They  show  great  fidelity 
in  comparison  to  what  Guillen  termed 
"the  fickle  American  uirls."  The  Spanish 
courtship  is  an  extended  affair — sometimes 
a  matter  of  five  or  six  years,  with  none  of 
"this  love  at  first-sight  business."  "The 
Spanish  people  take  love  making  very 
seriously,"  Guillen  asserted,  "and  to  them 
courtship  is  a  real  art."  In  America, 
according  to  Guillen,  love  is  all  too 
"casual  and  matter-of-fact."  "Here,"  Iv 
continued,  "when  a  boy  kisses  a  girl,  it's 
just  another  on  a  list."  Guillen  chuckled 
slyly  and  winked  —  "Boy,"  he  added,  "I 
bet  if  Joe  College  went  down  to  Spain  he'd 
get  slapped  on  the  face  all  the  time." 

Guillen  noted  in  passing  that  the  Ameri- 
can collegiate  social  whirl  is  nmch  more 
intensive  than  it  is  in  Spain.  "They 
don't  have  house  parties  in  Spanish  uni- 
versities," he  declared.  Social  events 
are  not  organized.  .Social  activity  is  a 
matter  of  indi\-idual  concern,  and  no  one 
does  anything  just  because  "everybnd)- 
else  does — like  a  herd  of  cattle  or  sheep."

Steeped  in  a  tradition  of  thrills,  spills, 
and  gore,  tomorrow's  classic  touch  Foot- 
ball struggle  between  Amherst  and  Wil- 
liams should  be  witnessed  by  a  roaring 
crowd  of  about  two-dozen  spectators. 
The  fans  expected  to  sweP  the  sidelines 
and  witness  the  Delta  Phi's  locking  horns 
with  the  leading  team  from  Amherst  in 
what  is  being  built  up  as  the  game  of  the 
year — the  number  one  touch  football 
contest. 

Amherst  Teams  Deadlocked 

Sabrina  supimrters  of  intra-fraternity 
football  report  that  out  of  a  season  fraught 
with  closely  waged  battles  and  startling 
upsets  two  teams  have  emerged  for  a  play- 
off which  took  place  yesterday — too  late 
to  make  the  Record  presses  These  two 
outfits,  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta's  and  the 
Chi  Phi's,  both  feature  an  attack  that 
stresses  blocking  with  accurate  passing 

Because  of  the  Jeff  stalemate,  the 
Williams  Delta  Phi's  are  in  the  unhealthy 
position  of  not  knowing  what  team  they 
are  going  to  face  until  the  morning  of  the 
game.  When  questioned  as  to  this  pros- 
pect, quipping,  quarterback,  Quintana  of 
the  D.  Phi's  replied,  "the  one  thing  we  do 
know  is  that  there  will  be  eight  Amherst 
fellows  out  there  facing  us,  and  that  they 
will  have  two  feet,  two  arms  with  five 
digits  on  each  extremity,  plus  one  head 
apiece — all  of  which  we  have  also." 
D.  Phi.  Record  Unmarred 

To  meet  the  Jeff  offensive  threat  in  the 
game  which  starts  at  11:00  a.  m.  the 
Williams  fraternity  is  expected  to  un- 
liniber  its  heavy  guns  in  its  typical  basket- 
ball-like attack.  It  is  this  same  lightning- 
like attack  that  brought  it  through  a  seven 
game  schedule  and  a  play-off  game  against 
the  D.  U.'.S  with  an  untarnished  record. 
.So  far  J  lam-handed  Hank  Tolles,  hipper- 
di|)per  llumbie  Quintana,  fiuck  Fowler, 
and  Paul  lleppes,  who  can  really  get  on 
his  bicycle  and  pedal,  have  sparked  the 
Delta  Phi  attack,  but  the  Amherst  cohorts 
can  ill  afl'oril  to  cover  any  single  group  of 
stars. 

The  Delta  Phi's,  however,  feel  that  no 
small  amount  of  cre<lit  for  this  year's 
success  nuisl  he  given  to  "Ijamnierslough's 
Hackers" — a  group  of  niisung  substitutes 
who  each  day  offered  themselves  u|)  for 
sacrifice  to  the  mighty  varsity  in  order 
that  they  might  get  practice  for  their 
regular  games.  The  "Hackers"  were  duly 
rewarded,  of  course,  by  insertion  into 
these  games  after  a  safe  margin  had  been 
secured  by  the  first  team.  Such  are  the 
fruits  of  victory. 

Game  Third  in  Series 

In  the  game  tomorrow,  which  will  be 
the  third  one  in  this  now  famous  series,  a 
half  will  be  played  under  each  of  the 
opposing  college's  rules.  Thus  during 
one  |)criod,  blocking  will  be  allowed 
according  to  the  .'\mherst  regulations,

Out  to  do  their  part  in  making  House 
Parties  a  success,  feature  issues  of  the 
Purple  Cow  and  Sketch  appear  on  Spring 
Street  this  afternoon.  The  Cow  puts  its 
emphasis  on  art  and  stories  while  the 
Sketch  board  has  attempted  to  produce  an 
all-round  well-balanced  issue. 

Cow's  Cover  Throe-Toned 

The  cartoons  of  Lon  C.  Hill  '43,  Jim 
Crawford  and  Sam  Hunter  '44,  Julian 
Hemphill's  center  spread,  and  a  special 
three-color  cover  by  C.  Brewster  Chapman 
'42  set  the  tone  for  this  issue  of  the  Cow. 
The  Lit.  board,  bolstered  by  the  return  of 
Editor-in-Chief  Hodge  C.  Ely  '42.  presents 
the  first  in  a  series  of  articles  entitled  Do 
It  Yourself.  The  article  appearing  in  this 
issue  is  designed  to  teach  How  to  Pluck  a 
Duck.  Other  features  include:  The  Cow's 
Quiz  Corner,  a  poll  on  items  of  current 
interest,  Letters  to  the  Editors,  and  Peter

Stories  by  Robert  N.  Hranson  '43,  Peter 
Warren  '45,  and  Lawrence  Morgan  com- 
plete the  picture. 

Two  heretofore  unpublished  letters, 
written  b>'  Williams'  first  president, 
Ebenczer  Fitch,  in  1815,  have  been  un- 
earthed b>'  Charles  R.  Keller,  associate 
professor  of  history,  and  appear  in  this 
issue  of  Skeich.  Of  historical  interest, 
these  letters  are  from  President  Fitch  to 
the  Missionary  Society  of  Connecticut, 
written  at  a  time  when  Williams'  first 
leader  was  planning  to  resign  the  presi- 
dency. Professor  Keller  stumbled  upon

to  use  inipro\ised  t|uarters  owned  by  local 
stores. 

Room  for  Further  Expansion 

The  present  location  was  suggested  by 
Charles  D.  Makepeace,  '00,  College  Trea- 
surer. The  property  was  already  owned 
by  the  college. 

Rooms  of  the  house  are  furnished  with 
pine  paneling,  similar  to  the  Williams  club. 
Lounges  and  reception  room  are  on  the 
first  floor,  living  quarters  on  the  second. 
Mr.  Holmes  will  be  resident  manager  of  the 
building. 

In  the  rear  of  the  building  is  parking 
space,  and  room  for  any  future  expansion. 
The  college  heating  plant  supplies  steam. 
Templeton  Issues  Statement 

Eunds  for  the  remodelling  and  operation 
of  the  headiiuarters  come  from  anonymous 
contrilnitions;  there  are  no  dues  for  the  use 
of  the  building. 

Mr.  Stuart  J.  Templeton,  President  of 
the  .Society  of  Alumni,  in  a  letter  jirintcd  in 
the  October  issue  of  the  Alumni  Review, 
said,  "1  believe  that  this  house  will  fill  a 
re;d  need  in  Williamstown  and  will  be  of 
great  benefit  Ixith  to  the  college  and  to  the 
alunmi. 

"1  believ<'  it  will  be  a  tremendous  help 
in  bringing  our  non-fraternity  alumni  in 
closer  contact  with  the  college.  I  hope 
(that  the  head(iuarters)  will  be  the  center 
of  alumni  life  in  Williamstown."

wish  that  other  actors  had  more  often

Why  do  it  the 
hard  way? 


Our  friend  here  has  the  right  idea. 
But  he's  what  you  might  call  hteral- 
minded.  He  read  in  one  of  our  ads  that 
it's  a  nice  thing  to  have  fifty  footcandles 
of  light  when  you  work  at  a  desk,  and 
he  went  out  and  bought  fifty  candles! 

Without  going  into  the 
cost  of  the  candles, 
the  smoke,  or  the 
glare,  and  the  nui- 
sance— that  isn't 
quite  what  we  meant.  A  footcancile  is 
merely  a  convenient  term  for  the  amount 
of  hght  cast  by  a  candle  one  foot  away. 
It's  a  unit  of  light. 

When  you  curl  up  with  a  good  book,  in 
the  shade  of  a  tree  in  mid- 
summer, you  have  upwards 
of  200  footcandles.  But 
when  you  sit  down  to  read 
at  night,  you  probably  have 
less  than  ten  footcandles. 


And  the  fact  remains  that  our  eyes  were 
meant  for  seeing  out-of-doors. 

We  wish  you  could  now  have  real  day- 
light indoors.    But  that  isn't  possible — 
yet.     With  modern   lamp 
bulbs,  lamps,  and  fixtures,      (t^^^^ 
however,    you   can    come  1 1  /tn 
closer  to  it  than  ever  before.  a0%Li'-^i^' 
In  stores,    factories,    and    ^jfeJa^d^ 
offices,  where  close  seeing 
is  important,  modern  hghting  can  now 
provide  as   much   as    50   footcandles 
and  more  .  .  .  and  in  many  homes,  as 
high  as  30  to  40. 

No  matter  whether  it's  in  your  home — 
or  where  you  work — modern  lighting 
can  help  you  see  more  easily,  quickly 
and  with  less  eyestrain.  Can 
we  show  you  how  easy  and 
simple  it  is  to  have  Light 
Conditioning?  Phone  for  a

for  these  nian\-  ila\s,  and  from  the  diverse  and  sundry  accounts  emanating  from 
usually  well-uniiiforinid  circles,  have  bagged  aplenty. 

^*  42  Go  Forth  to  "War" 

.Some  forty-two  of  the  pop-gun  artistes 
stagi'd  a  seconil  Battle  of  the  Marne  with 
startling,  Warner  Brothers-like  reality 
on  October  20,  opening  day  of  the  pheasant 
season  as  th<'  local  sportsmen,  somewhat 
crowded  for  breathing  space,  but  other- 
wise undaunted,  started  their  anti-air- 
craft barrage  on  the  Railroad  Properly 
across  the  stream  from  Cole  Field, 

One  unsuspecting  gentleman  in  the 
environs  received  a  rude  awakening  and 
probably  got  up  on  the  wrong  side  of  bed 
when  a  stray  shot  "spattered"  on  his 
window  at  the  early  hour  of  6:30  a.m., 
but  aside  from  that  the  day  was,  com- 
nmnique-like,  "devoted  to  reconnaissance 
parties,  and  casualties  were  few." 
Bloody  Bird  Against  Belly 

A  local  duck-decoyer,  rising  up  so  early 
in  the  morn,  hastened  to  his  favorite  spot 
and  after  a  short  wait  in  a  ilarkening 
drizzle,  put  the  finger  en  what  turned  out 
to  be  a  Wood  Duck,  labeled  with  F.D.R.'s 
ofificial  stamp  of  disapproval.  Rather 
taken  aback,  but  resigned  to  the  fate  of 
having  his  ill-gotten  gains  for  dinner,  the 
hunter  was  prepared  to  leave  when  two 
happy-go-lucky  but  none-the-less  official 
looking  gentlemen  approached  and  delved 
into  a  lengthx-  discussion  of  the  weather, 
the  hunting,  and  everything  else  in  the 
books  with  the  quaking  Ephnian. 

At  an  auspicious  moment,  the  bloody 
bird  was  stuffed  behind  the  folds  of  a  coat, 
and  the  chap  cut  ahui't  tlic  convorsatioii 
and  went  his  way  leaving  a  trail  of  gore 
in  his  wake. 

Perry  Foiled  Once 

William  G.  Perry,  Assistant  to  the  Dean, 
an  avid  follower  of  the  art,  has  had  his 
difficulties  with  the  birds  on  several 
occasions.  Several  weeks  ago  Mr.  Perry, 
with  Assistant  to  the  Dean-like  precision, 
drew  out  manifold  maps  and  after  con- 
siderable study,  located  a  lake  with  a  bog. 

Early  next  morning,  he  directed  himself 
the  fifteen  miles  to  his  destination,  got  out 
his  shootin'  iron,  and  was  about  to  go  In 
work  on  the  web-footed  beasts  when  he 
noticed  that  the  area  was  "posted".  Still 
with  Assistant  to  the  Dean-like  precision, 
but  with  a  little  sound  and  fury  mixed  in, 
he  got  behind  the  wheel  and  directed  him- 
self the  fifteen  miles  back  to  Williamstown 
with  a  firm  belief  in  the  value  of  dark 
glasses. 

Perry  Foiled  Twice 

On  another  occasion,  while  walking 
through  some  thick  grass  with  his  wife, 
Mr.  Perry  flushed  a  grouse,  but  was  so 
"surprised  that  1  di<ln'l  get  a  shot  at  him." 
To  add  insult  to  injury,  a  second  flushed 
almost  immediately  after  the  first,  and 
flew  straight  at  him,  but  again  the  "long 
arm  of  the  Dean"  was  bamboozled  and  the 
bird  escaped  untouched. 

Bob  Dill  '44,  local  photographer,  has 
been  seriously  disillusioned  with  the  art. 
Dill  started  his  activity  with  a  .410  shot- 
gun and  promptly  missed  an  alleged  total 
of   nine   cock   pheasants.  .   all   in   a    row. 


Never  reci'vering  from  the  ravages  of  a 
disastrous  second  (|uarter.  the  Williams 
soccer  men  were  overcome  on  Coli'  Field 
on  Saturday  by  a  championship  .Sabrina 
eleven.  Coach  Eli  Marsh's  favored  team 
lived  up  to  expectations  by  downing  the 
Purple,  ,V0. 

Though  the  defense  eoinbination  of 
Captain  Joe  Ceehran  ami  Binnie  Barnes, 
coupled  with  giialie  Xoriii  l.owi'll,  fought 
a  hard  battle,  their  elTiirts  went  for  nought 
in  vain  when  the  Lord  Jeffs,  playing  a  far 
more  balanced  and  collected  game  than 
ihi'  defenders,  pressed  past  them  to  tally 
three  times. 

Amherst  Nets  Tally 

The  first  score  came  lale  in  the  sec<.nd 
(piarter  when  Gray,  the  Sabrina  inside- 
left,  got  control  of  the  ball  from  a  melee 
in  front  of  the  Purple  goal  long  enough  to 
chase  it  into  the  nets  with  a  powerful  boot. 
Put  at  a  disadvantage  by  the  nearness  of 
the  mix-up  to  the  goal,  Lowell  made  a 
valiant  dive  for  the  hall  but  missed. 
Williams  Presses  Attack 

Spi'rrefl  hy  the  Amherst  score,  the 
Williams  team  drove  the  ball  deep  into 
enemy  territory  but  failed  to  score,  suffer- 
ing fr(uii  the  same  lack  of  front  line  unity 
that  has  marked  the  season  since  the  loss 
of  three  of  the  team's  most  promising 
attackers  earlier  in  the  fall.  But  then, 
again,  as  the  second  tiuarler  closed,  the 
invaders  from  Amherst  passed  Lowell  on 
a  play  that  found  the  goalie  overwhelmed 
by  the  enemy.  The  lone  defender  of  the 
Purple  goal  st<ipped  a  hard  kick  by  Gray 
only  to  have  the  sophomore  flash  Seel>e 
return  it  with  an  impossibly  hard  punch 
right  into  the  goal. 

Cochran,  Barnes  Star 

The  second  half  found  the  home  team 
making  a  better  show  against  the  cham- 
pions. Ben  Hurd,  entering  the  game  as 
left  halfback,  took  the  ball  towards  pay 
dirt  and  passed  to  left  wing  Bruce  Brown 
who  crossed  the  entire  held  to  Hugh 
(See  SOCCER  page  2) 


all  week  to  insure  against  a  repetition  of 
the  Norwich  and  Wesleyan  defeats,  place- 
kicked  the  extra  point. 

Smith  Leads  Sabrinas 

Paced  hy  shifty  halfback  Ray  Smith, 
the  Sabrinas  came  back  strong  in  the  last 
half,  and  only  the  super-human  efforts  of 
the  Epli  forward  w^all  prevented  disaster. 
Three  times  the  Soleau-coached  invaders 
had  Inst  downs  within  the  Purple  lO-yard 
stripe,  and  three  times  they  were  repulsed, 
first  on  the  two,  then  on  the  five  and  six- 
yard  lines. 

In  taking  the  Amherst  yearlings  1-0, 
Coach  Clarence  Chaffee's  soccer  aggrega- 
tion wound  up  an  undefeated  season  with 
a  record  of  three  victories  and  an  opening 
game  lie  with  Decrlield.  Although  they 
controlled  the  ball  for  most  of  the  game, 
the  booters  lacked  the  scoring  punch  that 
had  netted  them  nine  goals  in  their  other 
contests. 

The  scoring  honor  for  the  day  went  to 
Bill  Eyre  whose  second  period  boot  from 
forty  feet  out  carried  into  the  upper  hand 
corner  of  the  goal,  barely  scraping  the 
crossbar.

Missing  Shakespeare 
Refound  hy  Esquire 
Two  Years  Too  Late 


Williams  College,  "an  average,  Eastern 
American  college  with  three  thousand 
spirited  students  who  stir  up  their  share  of 
collegiate  excitement,"  made  the  grade 
this  month  when  the  "Case  of  a  Missing 
Shakespeare"  crowded  Petty  in  Esquire's 
pages.  In  a  lengthy  article  which  thre.it- 
ened  to  monopolize  the  issue,  Robert  M. 
Hitchcock,  an  Assistant  United  States 
District  Attorney,  rehashed  True  Detec- 
tive's sensational  expose  last  Spring  and 
revealed  more  information  on  the  method 
by  which  the  "1623  folio"was  returned  for 
the  use  of  "scholars — too  engrossed  in 
research  to  be  diverted  by  youth's  frivo 
lous  afTairs."

Recently  described  1)\-  the  Neiv  York 
lleruld-Trihiine's  music  critic  asa  "unique, 
beneficent,  and  astonishingly  successful

Concert  Series,  TuesdaN'.  No\'eniber  18. 
at  8:30  p.m.  in  Chapin  Hall. 

Certain  that  I  he  public  realK"  likes  good 
music  and  plenty  of  it,  this  group  also 
holds  that  all  the  fanc\'  trimmings  common 
to  most  performances  are  not  essent  ial  to 
the  success  of  a  concert  or  series.  The 
orchestra's  straightforward,  simple  style 
was  so  suitable  to  public  demand  that  for 
its  first  season  in  1936,  ninety-seven  per 
cent  of  the  sub.scriptions  were  sold  before 
the  audience  assembled  for  the  first 
concert.  Tickets  for  the  second  .season 
were  all  sold  out  in  advance.

Hannock  Goes  72  Yards 

hy  Coiier  Wiirrix  '43 

I'ightiiig  with  their  backs  against  lln- 
wall  to  keej)  a  7-6  edge  over  an  inspired 
.Amherst  team  in  the  first  three  periods. 
Williams'  gridmen  came  through  with 
three  rapid-fire  tallies  in  the  final  cjuarler 
to  gain  a  28-6  triumph  in  the  ,S8th  game  of 
this  bitter  rivalry.  A  record  crowd  of  over 
10,000  watched  the  Purple  eleven  score 
this  third  straight  victory  over  the  Lord 
Jeffs  an<l  keep  the  Little  Three  crown  for 
the  second  conseciiti\'e  \-ear. 

Amherst  fought  the  Purple  to  a  stand- 
still in  the  first  three  quarters,  and  it 
looked  as  though  the  Jeffs  might  score  an 
ii|)set  when  they  bi-gan  to  push  Charlie 
Caldwell's  charges  all  over  the  field  in  the 
third  period.  A  .Sabrina  drive  which 
might  lia\e  been  decisi\'e  was  stopped 
when  Mulroy  missed  a  first  down  by  inches 
on  the  10-yard  line.  The  Lord  Jeffs  drove 
twice  inside  the  15-yard  line,  but  the 
Purple  line  held  fast  in  the  shadow  of  the 
goal  posts. 

Williams  Drives  for  Touchdown 

Early  in  the  secoml  period  Williams 
began  a  drive  for  the  first  tonch<lown  from 
their  own  44,  after  reecjxcring  an  Amherst 
fundde.  .Schmidt,  llannoek.  and  Hayes 
carried  the  ball  to  the  22  as  the  quarler 
ended.  Bill  Orr  broke  through  on  a  line 
buck  after  Cunnar  lla\'es  .idx'aiu'ed  ihe 
liall  14  yards  to  the  five.  Mil  Hall  coii- 
•.o,\ed,  ,.n.l  Willinmskd.  7  0. 

Amherst's  touchdown  was  set  up  when 
Bobby  Blood  intercepted  Cunnar  Hayes' 
pass  and  ran  to  the  .Amherst  1^  after  Wil- 
liams had  been  knocking  hard  at  the 
Sabrina  goal  line  A  brilliant  .stand  by 
the  .Amherst  line  had  stopped  a  Purple 
march  on  the  1-yard  line.  After  Blood's 
interception,  Mulroy  shook  loose  and 
travelled  to  the  \\'illiams  42,  Then 
.Agiiew  gathereil  in  a  .SO-yard  toss  from 
Obie  .Slingerland  and  galloped  over  from 
the  12  for  the  lone  Jeff  tally.  Koebel's 
drop  kick  for  the  point  niis.sed  its  mark 
and  .Amherst  trailed  7-6. 

Fourth  Period  Barrage 

The  fourth  period  scoring  barrage 
showed  why  Williams  is  ranked  at  the  top 
among  small  college  teams.  The  Purple 
flood  swept  over  the  goal  stripe  three  times 
in  the  last  .seven  mimiles.  Recovering  an 
Amherst  fumble  on  their  own  17,  the  ICph 
backs  began  to  march  after  an  exchange  of 
kicks  had  brought  the  ball  to  the  Amherst 
40.  Hannock  ad\anced  to  the  13  on  a 
flashy  cut-back  run.  Beautiful  inter- 
ference belpefl  Hayes  carry  to  the  1-yard 
line,  and  the  sophomore  star  went  around 
end  for  the  second  Williams  tally.

Dartmouth  Radio  Station,  Founded  on  WMS 
Pattern,  Now  Jamming  Hanover  Airwaves 

A  station  patterned  after  Williams'  own  WMS  has  inaugurated  thi'  use  of  radio  at 
Dartmouth  as  a  college  news  and  entertainment  function.  D.B.S,,  the  Dart- 
mouth Broadcasting  System,  under  the  direction  of  William  J.  Mitchel,  Jr.  '42, 
has  already  outstripped  the  Eph  network  in  variety  of  program  and  educational 
value. 

Encountering    many    more    difficulties''' 


than  WMS  in  getting  under  way,  "the 
Dartmouth  station  is  now  entrenched  as 
a  permanent  campus  organization,"  Sta- 
tion Manager  Will  Milchel  told  a  Kuconn 
reporter  Friday  night.  "We  have  men 
visiting  the  Cornell  Radio  Guild  and  the 
Princeton  station  in  order  to  get  more  in- 
formation and  assistance  concerning  col- 
legiate radio." 

Short  History 

DBS'  history  is  a  short  one  The 
organization  has  only  existed  since  Sep- 
tember 29,  1941  when  a  ten-day  test 
period  was  made  with  a  substantial  loan 
from  the  college  for  equipment  and  studio 
space.  This  broadcasting  series  only 
reached  eight  dormitories  and  technical 
difficulties  forced  the  station  to  go  off  the 
air.    Since  October   24  the  station  has 


been  im  the  air  continuously,  M<mda\ 
through  Friday,  f|-om  .S:()0-6:ob  and  9:00- 
11:00. 

The  station  will  shortly  be  self-support- 
ing with  the  acquisiliim  of  more  sponsors 
and  advertising  from  national  and  local 
sources.  The  station  employs  "controlled 
wire  broadcasting"  as  do  Williams, 
Harvard,  Cornell  and  others  in  order  to 
avoid  ECC  regulatiim.  It  has  the  ad 
vantage  of  being  the  only  statiim  clearb 
receivable  by  Dartmouth  students  in  the 
evening  hours.  The  fact  that  it  is  the  only 
really  audible  slatitm  in  Hanover  will 
facilitate  getting  advertising  for  the 
statitm.

has  heeii  the  nioiive.  of  the  more  militant  camj)us  leailers  in  their 
cfforls  to  improve  upon  Williams  and  the  student  hotly." 

Anil  then  (here  is  more  of  the  sume:  would-he  campus  reformers 
really  aren't  as  distnrhed  over  campus  wrongs  as  they  would  have  yon 
liclieve:  they're  just    irritable  and  sensational. 

Now.  TiiK  Ukcdhi),  intentionally,  has  no  tlesive  to  he  in  a  position 
of  irritation  toilay  —  especially  after  a  foot  hall  sca.son  and  after  a  football 
yame  which  has  meant  st)  imicli  to  us  as  a  part  of  our  college.  Sbvtcli, 
nevertheless,  has  put  us  in  a  position  reciuiriug  ii  little  indignation. 

In  the  name  of  improvement  or  interest  in  Williams  or  sensation  or 
irritation,  (his  is  what  we  have  done. 

We  have  run  many,  many  stories  on  cooperative  buying  and  co- 
operative management  -  not  becau.se  it's  fun  to  be  irritated  about  the 
cost  of  a  Williams  eiliiealion.  We  even  wrote,  once,  about  petty  campus 
rt)l)berios  —  becau.sc  we  thought  that  petiple  might  want  to  know,  in 
dollars  and  cents,  what  unlocked  doors  in  college  dormitories  really  cost. 
We  ran  a  lol  of  .stories  and  editorial.s  about  the  cost  of  water  in  Wil- 
lianistowii,  about  the  desirability  of  town  ownership  of  the  local  water 
plant ;  and  we  wnilc  —  in  .s|)ite  of  what  Skelrli  might  wish  to  believe  —  out 
of  no  desire  lo  shock  the  inhabitants  of  Williamstown.  There  were  a 
(■oui)le  of  stories  about  the  honors  .system  at  Williams:  we  wrote  about 
fire  hoses  anil,  honestly,  we  were  concerneil  about  what  a  fire  without 
hoses  would  mean  lo  a  college  dormitory. 

We  have  w  ritteii  about  rising  board  bills;  even  went  .so  far  as  to  write 
about  the  band  uniforms  which,  we  believe,  in  the  interests  of  a  better 
Williams  biuiil  anil  not  in  the  interestsof  our  own  digestidii,  didn't  measure 
up  to  .Vndierst's  flannels  and  .sweaters  on  Saturday.  We  have  written 
about  bigger  Ihings:  about  ways  which  we  think  will  make  W^illiams 
fraternities  better;  ways  which  we  think  will  improve  .student  govern- 
ment and  facully-student  relations  at  Williams;  about  changes  in  the 
driving  rules,  aboul  paying  S6.'A)  for  a  few  lioinvs  of  dancing. 

Tills  we  have  done,  and  when  we  have  written,  anil  complainctl,  we 
have  complained  because  we  think  Williams  would  be  better  with  im- 
provement. .Viid  if  we  may  be  allowed  to  become  sloppy,  we  like  this 
college  enough  to  want  to  make  it  better.  There  is  niithiiig  we  eaii  do, 
but  ask  you  to  accept  us  as  honest,  sincere  undergraduate  editors  who 
love  om'  college  as  much  as  you  <lo,  and  who  think  that  i;  is  a  part  of  our 
job  to  wrile  about  ways  to  make  Williams  a  better  college. 

We  make  mi.stakes,  in  methods  and  in  actions  —  we  doubt  if  anyone 
will  disagree  about  ihis.  \\u]  there  is  a  lot  in  the  Skelcli  editorial  that 
l)ro(lnces.  in  us,  more  than  indignation.  There's  a  lot  of  gooil  .sen,se  in  it, 
a  lot  that  we  on  Till'  Rkcoud  (piiie  agree  wiJli,  and  hav,-  h'arned  through 
the  experience  of  putting  out  this  paper  twice  a  week. 

We  think  that  yon  will  agree  with  us  when  wc  say  we've  made  mis- 
takes -  plenty.  We  hope  that  you  will  iiiil  accept  thv  Sketch  edito'-ial 
that  <iueslii)ns  a  genuine  desire  on  our  par!  to  improve  upon  the  existing 
conditions  of  our  college.

Mr,  Flowers  for  putting  him  in  a  wholly 
false  light.  We  are  glad  lo  print  his  letter,

true opinion  held  liy  a  large  portion  of  the 
communily  thai  he  had  been  responsible 
for  Ihc  u.se  of  the  small  stage  for  the  music

Masters.  The  latter  made  an  exce|)tioiiaI 
center  across  the  front  of  the  enemy  goal, 
but  failed  on  his  assist  as  the  center  section 
ol  Ihe  attack  was  caught  back  on  its  heels 
and  mis.sed  the  chance  to  chalk  up  a  score. 
The  liiial  Amherst  score  came  in  this 
third  tpiarter  when  .substitute  center  for- 
ward. Stiles,  broke  past  the  defense  lo 
hammer  a  hard  kick  into  the  nets  Irom  a 
position  just  a  few  feet  out.  From  that

CCoiitiiuied  from  payc  1) 
With  the  Jeffs  still  smarting  from  this 
drive,  .Marsh  Hannock  climaxed  his  foot- 
ball career  with  the  longest  dash  of  the 
day,  carrying  the  ball  72  yarils  for  the 
third  Kph  score.  Crashing  throtigh  the 
line  on  a  wcitk-side  jilay,  the  scrappy  half- 
back broke  into  the  open  aitd  streakeil 
a\\a\-  from  his  pnrsticrs  down  the  sideline.

On     the    kiik-cilT,     Hobli\      HI I     w.is 

i  ilropped  on  the  20.  and  the  Williams  line 

I  nailed  Sawyer  on  the  7  before  he  cotild  get 

j  rid  of  the  l)all  on   a   [>ass.      lilood's  kick 

[  was  partially  blocked  and  grablied  on  the 

(ly  by  an   .Amherst  end.      The  ball  came 

;  back  to  the  .Amherst  10  on  a  penalty  for 

interference    on    a    fair    catch.      Fnllback 

lli'rli  llolden  rifled  a  [lerfect  leading  pass 

I  to    Hob  Wallace  in  the  end  zone  for  the 

final    score,    and    Hall    brought    the    final 

jconnt  to  2X-()  with  his  fintrth  conx'eision. 

I'laitie-captain  Herb  llolden  and  center 
Hill  Conrcer  were  outstanding  defensively. 
Hacking  up  the  line,  the  rugged  center  was 
on  the  bottom  of  almost  every  pile  with 
low  driving  tickles  that  jtirred  the 
.Amher.st  ba;'ks.  1  lannock  and  Bill  Schmidt 
were  effective  in  stopping  attack  through 
the  air. 

All  Amherst  attempts  to  rcgiin  the 
cannon  stolen  during  the  half  were  frus- 
trated as  the  piece  of  field  artillcrs'  was 
passed  through  the  crowd  in  the  stands 
to  a  safe  place

in  the  past,  not  inijustU.  with  indifference'

To  Your  Good  Taste, 
Gentlemen! 

Roger  Kent  was  founded  in  the  belief  that  dressing  well 
is  a  matter  of  taste  and  not  of  money.  Why  should  a 
small  budget  force  a  man  who  knows  better  to  accept 
clothing  that  is  obviously  made  for  indiscriminate  mass 
consumption?  This  attitude,  combined  with  special- 
ization and  its  resultant  values,  has  built  a  business 
unique  in  clothing  history.

problem  rather  than  a  solution  of  it.  The 
statistics  adduci'd  are  so  incomplete  that 
they  prove  little  (the  author  himself  is  not 
entirely  satisfied  with  them),  but  the 
treatment  of  England's  approach  to  the 
strike  problem  in  this  war  and  our  own 
approach  in  the  last  is  illuniinalinK.  If 
Tully  is  rij;bt  in  estimating  the  present 
aims  of  labor  leaders  and  management,  the 
situation  seems  destined  to  worsen  before 
it  improves.  Written  as  it  is  with  sincer- 
ity and  objectivity,  his  article  provides  a 
valualile  Introduction  to  ,i  subject  of 
inimetliate  importance. 

AlthoUKh  the  contributions  are  of  un- 
e<|Ual  merit,  they  present  enough  diversity 
tofjuarantee  a  varied  appeal  for  the  maga- 
zine as  a  whole.  It  seems  a  i)ity  that  half 
the  column  on  books  was  devoted  to 
recomnuMidinK  mystery  stories  by  Dorothy 
Sayers,  and  that  Warren  Hunke  found  the 
new  dramatic  season  so  uninteresting  that 
he  had  to  rely  entireb  on  musical  comedy 
for  material.  Without  suK^estinK  what 
the  next  stage  in  the  descent  might  be,  I 
should  like  to  point  out  that  it  has  to  slop 
somewhere.  The  search  for  a  varied 
appeal  has  on  the  whole,  however,  lieen 
[>r(ililable.  Verse  has  not  entirely  dis- 
appeared, though  it  is  represented  only  by 
a  somewhat  confused  and  mannered 
sonnet.     The  issue,  as  a  whole,  leaves  the 


impression  thai  Skelch  has  a  lively  sense 
of  its  responslbilltv'  to  its  readers  anil  that 
it  deserves  a  larger  circulation  than  it  has. 


CROSSCOUNTRY 

(Continued  (rom  page  3) 
th  in  the  old  mark,  a  Williams  trio  of  lirew 
("hajmian.  Captain  Hob  I  iriggs,  and  Ken 
Moore  crossed  the  liiiish  line  hanil-in-hand, 
upsetting  [ire-raee  ilo|-e  and  sniolhering 
the  highly  regarded  Cardinals. 
Five  in  First  Eight 

Ferguson,  Holmes  (l')4()  winner  of  this 
race),  and  ('apt  lin  C.iza  of  the  favored 
Wesleyan  sipiad  finished  well  behind  the 
leaders  with  Maurrie  C.oodbody  and  Dave 
lirow  n  finishing  seventh  and  eighth  for  the 
Kphmen  and  making  it  possible  for  all  five 
of  the  scorers  for  the  Purple  to  finish 
within  the  first  eight.  The  Amher.st 
runners  were  definitely  outclassed,  their 
first  man,  .Anderson,  coining  in  eleventh. 

The  .Amherst  course  is  a  new  one,  almost 
a  mile  shorter  than  Williams'  4.2  mile 
route,  and  relatively  level  with  only  three 
real-sized  hills  as  obstacles. 

Purple  Strategy  Pays  Dividends 

With  Wesleyan,  the  now  dethroned 
titleholders,  occupying  the  spotlight  as 
favorites,  C'oach  Tony  Plansky  planned 
his  strategy  accordingly.  The  leading 
three  contenders  for  the  ICphmen  were 
instructed  to  dog  the  heels  of  the  power- 
ful Cardinal  trio,  letting  them  set  the  pace, 
and  to  make  a  bid  only  on  the  final  stretch. 
As  the  race  actually  progressed,  howe\er, 
Chapman,  C-riggs,  and  Moore  found  the 
pace  too  slow  at  the  halfway  mark  and 
spurted  into  the  lead,  an  ever-increasing 
lead  which  enabled  them  to  win  in  this 
triple  tic.

Draft  Rulings 

rile  committee's  statement  refers  to 
rrccTii  Washingtcm  draft  rulings  as  an 
ixplan.iiion  of  its  provision  for  maji.r 
examinations  without  accompanying  gen- 
eral midyear  examinations  leading  to  a 
ilcgn'e.  Current  orders  from  Selective 
Sirvic-e  lleathiuarters  evidently  diri'Ct 
thai  eolU'ge  students  shall  be  classilied  by 
ilieir  local  boards  without  consideration 
for  their  status  as  stuilents.  Cndei- 
srachiates  classified  as  1-A,  however,  shall 
ii:iM'  I  heir  induction  into  the  army  delayed 
iiiuil  the  end  of  the  semester. 

The  assumption  of  the  .Selective  Service 
.All  iidminislrators  is  that  academic  work 
inlrrrupted  at  the  end  of  a  semester  can  be 
iisiitiied  with  comparative  case  by  the 
student  w-hen  the  emergency  is  over, 
•Vailemic  work  is  regarded  as  comparable 
Id  jobs  held  by  other  young  men  called  into 

I  iniliiary  service. 

Committee  Recommendations 
I  he  Committee  on  Educational  Polic>' 
accepts  the  draft  administrators'  assump- 

I  liiins  as  to  the  character  of  academic  work. 
I'lirir  recommendations,  however,  indicate 

I  iheii  feeling  that  it  will  be  more  difficult 
I'll  the  student  to  resume  his  work  of 
|)re|3aration  after  the  emergency  for  the 
inajor  exam  than  for  the  ordinary  courses

Air  Raiders  Will  Bomb

lliat  a  mock  air  raid  will  be  in  prog- 
ress from  2:15  to  4:15  Sunday  after- 
nnon.  At  that  time,  the  fire,  water, 
electric,  gas,  and  Red  Cross  services

William  F.  Courter  '4.?  of  Niagara  Kails. 
X,  \.  was  elected  to  lead  the  1<)42  football 
team  yestenlay  at  a  short  meeting  of  the 
l')41  lettermen.  who  then  chose  Herbert 
Holden,  Jr,  '42  of  l-:iizabeth,  N.  J.  as  per- 
manent capt:iin  for  the  past  season. 

Courter  began  his  football  activities  at 
La,sell  .School,  where  he  played  both  center 
and  halflv.ick.  He  then  shifted  to  fullback 
in  his  junior  yvuv  at  Nichols  .School  in 
Uuffalo,  and  for  the  next  two  seasons 
:ilternatc<l  between  full  and  quarterback, 
captaining  his  prep  school  eleven  in  his 
senior  year. 

Fullback  as  Freshman 

.\l  Williams  he  continued  at  the  fullb.ick 
po.st  as  a  freshman.  Last  year  Courter 
shifted  again  to  blocking  back,  at  the  same 
time  alternating  with  Jack  Daly  at  the 
pivot  post.  During  the  1941  season  the 
versatile  205-pound  gridster  settled  down 
at  the  center  position  and  proved  to  be  the 
greatest  bulwark  in  the  liph  defense.

Cap  and  Bells  Sets 
Plans  For  Musical 

Morgan  '43  Will  Write 
Script  of  Proposed 
Comedy     for     May     8-9 


Cap  and  Bells,  campus  dramatic  organ- 
ization, took  concrete  steps  last  Tuesday 
night  in  Je.sup  Hall  to  insure  prodtiction  of 
a  musical  comedy  May  8-9,  1942,  weekend 
of  spring  house  parties. 

At  rM  p.  m.,  Paul  Murray,  Jr.  '42, 
President  of  Cap  and  Bells,  addressed  a 
meeting  of  over  forty  undergraduates, 
repr(!senting  all  classes  in  college.  Murray 
informed  the  men  present  that  Cap  and 
Bells'  pi'tition  for  use  of  the  Adams  Memo- 
rial Theatre  to  present  its  annual  house 
party  production  had  been  granted  and 
that  Cap  and  Hells  is  extremely  anxious  to 
give  a  musical  comedy. 

President  of  the  Glee  Club,  Warren  G. 
Hunke  '42,  warned  that  the  final  dead  line 
for  handing  a  comedy  script  to  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre  Committee  is  January 
6,  1942.  However,  he  added  that  to  insure 
presentation  of  the  performance  on  time, 
the  script  should  be  in  by  December  19. 
He  explained  that  a  large  amount  of  work 
is  needed  to  write  antl  fit  songs  to  a  script. 

Hunke  announced  that  he  was  willing 
to  write  songs  for  the  production  and 
added  that  he  was  sure  that  other  men  in 
college  with  song  writing  talent  would  be 
glad  to  contribute  to  composing  music  and 
lyrics. 

Despite  uncertainty  as  to  whether  or 
not  Cap  and  Bells  could  beat  the  time 
limit,  a  musical  comedy  committee  was 
formed  headed  by  Murray  and  Hunke, 
who  authorized  John  F.  Morgan  '43  to  try 
his  hand  at  writing  a  comedy  on  or  before 
December  19.

Returning  from  his  duties  as  quarter- 
back-manager of  the  I'aterson  Panthers, 
Dale  Burnett  greeted  twenty-four  varsit\ 
basketball  aspirants  Monday  afternoon 
in  the  first  official  practice  session  of  the 
coming  campaign,  his  second  as  coach  of 
the  Ephmen.  Although  only  Captain 
Frankie  Bush  is  missing  from  last  year's 
starting  linc-vip  against  Amherst,  Burnett 
holies  that  more  of  the  "latent  basketball 
talent  on  the  cimims"  will  report  next 
week  to  the  squad. 

Citing  the  need  for  taller  players  and 

the   case    of    Bill    -Schmidt's   phenomenal 

rise  to  stardom  in  his  first  season  on  the 

girdiron,    Burnett   stated   that   there   are

New  Radio  Course 

Physics  Professor  Gets 
Grant  from  Trustees ; 
24      Students      Enrolled 


.A  recognized  serious  shortage  of  men 
having  radio  experience  in  this  country 
prom))ve(i  Howird  P.  Stablei,  assistant 
professor  of  jiliysics,  o«'r  a  month  ago  to 
make  preparations  for  conducting  a  course 
in  "Electronics  and  Radio  Communica- 
tion." This  course,  with  nuich  of  the 
equipment  alreaiU'  purchased  through  a 
special  grant  of  funds  by  the  Trustees  of 
the  College,  was  formally  launched 
Wednesday  exeiiing  at  an  organization 
meeting  in  the   Physics  l.ab. 

The  aim  of  the  instruction  is  to  |)rovide 
partici|)ating  students  with  some  experi-

The  administration  ha>  given  ne« 
direction  to  the  job  of  pulling  Williams 
before  the  public  eye  with  the  announce- 
ment of  a  reorganization  and  eoordinatioii 
of  college  publicitN'  services, 

A  plan  lo  improve  traditional  hit-or-miss 
Williams  public  r<4ations  and  designed 
specihcalK-  to  "augment  college  publicilN

has  been  put  forward  b\  James  M,  Burns 
'39,  recently  appointed  assistant  to  I  he 
President  in  charge  of  publicitv. 
New  Plan's  Objective 
The  new  plan  as  submitted  by  Mr, 
Burns  to  the  President  has  as  its  objective 
"bringing  to  the  attention  of  as  many 
people  as  possilile  llu'  good  aspects  of  the 
college,  because  of  the  salutary  elTect  nil 
admissions,  gifts,  and  general  public 
opinion."  It  is  Williams'  answer  as  a 
small,  endowed  liberal  arts  college  lo  the 
challenge  of  th<'  war  emergi-ncy,  exjianding 
governmental  regulative  powers,  and  de- 
clining investment  returns. 

The  main  features  of  the  revised  pub 
licit\'  program  are: 

1,  The  unilication  and  direction  of  the 
diverse  college  public  relations  agencies 
throtigh  the  part-time  director  of  pub- 
licity in  the  President 'soflice; 

2,  A  college-subsidized  periodic  release 
of  free  publicity  submitted  through  the 
News  Bureau  to  over  forty  large  news- 
papers in  twelve  areas  tbriiughnut  the 
count  r\': 

3,  The  use  of  individual  News  Bureau 
members  and  influential  alumni  lo  make 
contacts  with  newspaper  editors. 

Free  News  Distributed 
Mr.  Burns'  project  will  not  inlenupl 
the  flow  of  thai  publicity  dispatched  on  a 
revenue-returning  basis  lo  neighboring 
newspapers  like  I  he  Springfield  Repuhlkini 
and  the  Berkshire  /i.7j;/c.  An  advantagi-

Donald  McK.  Lindsay  '44,  of  Decatur, 
Illinois,  won  first  place  in  the  sophomore 
football  managerial  competition  this  fall 
and  will  be  assistant  manager  of  varsity 
football  next  year,  to  become  manager  in 
1943,  according  to  a  bulletin  issued  this 
week  by  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Athletic  Council.  Simultaneously,  the 
council  announced  the  selection  of  Josei)h 
J.  Lee  '44,  of  Clearfield,  Penn.  as  assistant 
manager  of  varsity  soccer  for  1942. 

Other  soi)homore  winners  in  the  football 
competition  are  Richard  G.  King,  who 
will  assume  the  position  of  program 
manager  his  senior  year;  Walter  B.  Mohr, 
manager  of  freshman  football;  Joseph  P. 
Dumesnil,  Jr.,  varsity  cross-country 
manager;  and  George  B.  Whittlesey, 
manager  of  freshman  cross-country.  As 
a  result  of  the  soccer  competition,  Edward 
K.  Williams  will  become  intramural 
manager  and  Emile  E.  Werk,  Jr.,  fresh-

five-year  low  of  last  .vear  with  Phi  OeUa

the  least  number  received. 

With  only  49,8  per  cent  of  the  stuilenl 
body  receiving  D  or  E  warnings,  Williams 
has  bettered  last  year's  record  by  two  and 
one  half  per  cent.  The  class  of  1943  re- 
ceived fewer  "dubious"  grades  than  1942 
did  last  year,  and,  in  addition,  had  a 
sinaller  jn'rcentage  of  its  members  dropped 
from  special  cutting  privileges  than  either 
of  the  two  upper  classes  last  spring. 
Sophomores  Low 
The  sophomore  class  is  outstandingh- 
low  in  regard  to  members  not  jmsted  by 
the  Dean's  Office,  with  only  41.5  per  cent 
of  its  members  in  that  categor\'.  This 
record  is  worse  than  that  of  last  year's 
sophomores.  The  class  of  1945  received 
five  per  cent  fewer  warnings  than  1944  did

Williams  and  Mary  (Cont.) 

Nows  from  Hopkins  Hall  lliis  week  imiiciilis  a  iin)V('  on  IIk'  part  of  tlic 
ciijli'm'  to  fosli-r  a  serious  prcvciilalivi-  for  tlu'  old  "Oil,  you  iiiciiu  Williams

a  press  t;li|ipinn  scrvii'c  for  fiiuliiif,'  out  how  liUlc  piiMicity  Williams  gets, 
I  lie  (■olli')^<'  liopi's  to,  anil  will,  increase  its  eoluiiin  iiiclie<  in  tlie  nation's 
press, 

'I'lie  most  promising  aspe<'l  of  I  lie  new  program  is  the  "Williams 
Sl(iiy-of-llie-We"k"  wliieli  will  lie  sent  to  twelve  newspapers  each  week 
l),\-  ilie  \<-\vs  IJiireaii.  It  may  ■^eeiii  fairly  ap])alling  for  lis  to  have  to  call 
one  story  ii  week  lo  twelve  areas  In  the  whole  I'nited  States  an  iniprove- 
iiieiil.  Hut  we  air  glad  lo,  lieeanse  however  small, this eollege grant  may 
open  llie  way  In  the  fiill-lime  puhlieity  office  we  advocated  in  aseriesof 
e.litorials  last  spring,  after  examining  .he  inadequaeies  of  present  piihlicity 
ami   the  imperative's  demanding  a  vast  and  immediale  iniprovenient. 

There  is  no  reason  to  go  int<i  handsprings  over  this  iu>ws  from  the 
Hopkins  Hall  front.  Twelve  art  ides  a  week  doesn't  ..^over  iniich  territory; 
it  skips  tile  smaller  ()apei's  and  concentrates  on  a  few  large  metropolitan 
dailies  wiiicli  are  less  likely  to  want  Williams  news,  ft  concentrates 
on  areas  where  there  are  tlie  largest  bodies  of  Williams  aliimni,  whereas 
one  of  tlu'  aiuis  of  any  eflfi.'ieiit  publicity  .set-up  .should  he  to  hit  the 
many  areas  where  William.s  ahinini  are  too  feiv. 

The  biggest  failing  of  Williams  publicity  still  endures,  and  that  is  the 
failure  to  flood  home  town  newspapers  with  every  activity  of  local  hoys 
who  make  gdoil  in  college  .Vnd  making  good  means  anything  from  wri- 
ting an  article  for  a  college  imblicatioii  to  being  elected  ])i'esideiit  of  the 
senior  class. 

lieeciitly  the  New  York  'I'imcs  carrie.l  on  its  Sunday  educational  page 
a  story  from  Williain.stowii  about  the  Rkcokd  articles  advocating  a 
correlation  of  fralccnity  and  college  goals,  mentioning  the  names  of  the 
eilihn-sof  the  paper.  Their  home  town  newspapers  picked  up  the  Times 
story  and  gave  ^Villianls  iiii-hcs  of  valuable,  free  publicity.  These  inches 
wcr.'  an  aceidcnl;  efficient  piihlicity  would  make  them  ronline.  With 
Mr.  IJums,  the  present  assistant  for  publicity,  we  ho|)e  lor  ,iii  iinprove- 
Mient  in  this  direclion  .soon. 

There  is  a  healthy  valiK'  in  having  nieinbers  of  the  News  Hnreau  staff, 
and  aiimini  from  the  college,  interest  I  heir  local  newspajK-rs  in  news  from 
Williams  —  this  l)eing  a  part  of  Ihe  new  .scheme.  Hut  their  ])art  in  an 
effective  .scheme  of  imblicity  shoiihl  only  be  incidi'iital  to  the  over-all  work 
of  a  full-tiine  pulilicity  man,  only  a  part  of  who.se  jol)  it  would  lie  to  see 
I  hat  news  from  Williamslown  was  capable  of  selling  itself  to  papers  every- 
where. 


Policing  19-20  Courses 

('eriain  college  adniinislrative  circles  are  posing  a  new  one:  "Should 
mcmliers  of  the  faculty  loss  out  of  cla.ss  .seniors  who  come  to  19-20  courses 
unprepared?" 

Their  (picstioii  siciiis  from  Ihe  experience  of  many  nieinbers  of  the 
faculty,  who  often  have  found  t  heinselves  on  the  giving  end  of  a  one-sided 
di.scussioii.  .\  schedule  di.senssion  which  l)ecomes  a  lecture  because  oidy 
the  inslrnclor  has  done  the  work  certainly  |)o.scs  a  .serious  jiedagogical 
(piestion. 

Whether  the  answer  lies  in  resort  to  more  police  power  for  the  faculty 
is  a  (|ne.slion  that  deserves  wide  di.scnssiou  before  action  is  taken.  The 
c.xperience  of  teachers  in  one  19-20  course  may  be  entirely  unlike  that  of 
others,  and  il  is  not  always  true  that  the  undergraduaics  are  at  fault — 
as  it  is  not  always  I  rue  that  the  cutting  of  some  classes  displays  irresponsi- 
bility. 

If  this  is  a  (|uestion  serious  enough  to  resolve,  il  is  our  own  feeling 
that  I  here  is  more  education  anil  good  sense  involved  in  dealing  with 
I  his  matter  specil'ically  in  each  l')-20  conr.se.  If  there  are  but  a  few  in- 
dividnal.s  who  arc  iiuprepareil,  why  not  |)retend  they  are  not  there  and 
lei  Iheiu  sulTcr  the  con.se((nciici's  of  their  own  decisions?  And  if  lack  of 
preparation  takes  on  the  appearance  of  a  di.seasc  afl'ecting  most  of  the 
class,  Iheii  there  is  soinething  .so  .seriously  wrong  that  it  would  be  better 
laken  care  of  in  a  eanl.s-on-the-lable  meeting  of  the  course  than  in  the 
whole.sale  ejection  of  men   from  cla.ss.

I  shall  suniniarize  m\  fundamental 
reclilicationson  the  following  points: 

1 .  The  figures  of  Ihe  Presidential  elections 
nf  11)40  lire  iiuicciimte. 

There  were  71,451,  and  not  85,000 
votes.  There  were  not  two,  but  four, 
persons  for  whom  votes  were  cast  in  these 
elect  inns  (General  Penaranda,  General 
Bill)ao  Rioja,  General  (Juinlanilla,  anil  I, 
the  civil  candidate),  (leneral  Penaranda 
received  58,060  votes  and  not  70,000. 
The  dala  that  I  use  are  taken  from  the 
Official  Records  nf  Ihe  Bolivian  Congress. 

2.  I  was  not  in  inil  at  the  time  the  presi- 
dential elections  look  place. 

I  attended  them  in  Sucre,  on  IVIarch  10, 


l"MO.  two  da\s  previous  I  had  taken 
over  lliere  I  lie  t'hair  ol  Soeiology  in  the

^.     The  "free"  eleaiuns  of  1V4I). 

The  presidential  elections  of  1040  were  | 
iiol  "tbe  first  free  elctions  held  in  liolivia 
ill  years"  as  Mr.  Giintlier  .says  (p. 224). 
T"here  were  grave  out  rages  committed 
:ig:iiiist  the  rights  of  nieelinji  and  expres- 
sion, against  stnilents  and  workers,  against 
caiiilidates  for  the  I  louse  of  Representa- 
tives and  against  ine,  personally.  I  de- 
nouneed  some  of  thi'sv  oulragi's  in  a  pulilic 
letter  addressed  to  President  General 
(Juinlanilla,  under  who.-^e  provisional 
go\ernnieiil  ihe  elections  were  conducted. 
Thai  letter  was  reproduced  in  "La  Mora" 
of  .Santiago  lie  Chih'  (March  21,  1040). 
4.  The  "cuiisliliilimial"  regime  of  Ceneral 
I'ennriiiida. 

Neither  is  il  true  thai  (ieneral  Pena- 
randa's  government  is  "the  nearest  to  a 
constitutional  regime  that  the  country  has 
seen  in  a  long,  long  time"  (p. 224  of  Gun- 
iher'sboolc).  Only  a  little  over  a  year  ago 
(Jnl>-,  1040)  a  Congress  of  Leftists  over 
which  I  presided,  meeting  wit  b  the  writlen 
promise  of  guarantees  from  Presidenl 
Penaranda — a  Congress  thai  represented 
smile  thousands  of  workers,  peasants  anil 
inti'llectuals— w.is  atlacta-il,  with  pistol 
shots,  liy  a  gnnip  of  totalitarian  rowdies 
(they  Ciill  themselves  T^alangisls)  ivlia  hod 
heen  paid  by  the  (iin'ernment  lo  make  this 
attack.  Tbe  njwdies  weie  imi  atile  to 
acconiplisb  their  purpose,  so  police  and 
army  forces  were  put  into,action  to  assist 
them,  (July  26tb).  As  a  consequence, 
thirly-two  leaders  of  the  Congress  were 
seized.  Twenty-six  of  them,  including 
six  university  professors  anil  a  President 
(Kecliir)  of  a  university  were  seal  lo  the 
distant  Chai'o  forests  and  submiUeil  In 
forced  labor,  as  in  Totalilariaii  conceii 
tration  camps!  Later,  ten  of  the  leatlers 
were  thrown  into  jail.  They  securei 
iheir  freedom  after  lucnly  da>s  by  reason 
of  an  aiiinesly  obtained  ihrougb  powerful 
pressure  brought  lo  bear  b\  labor  unions 
and  student  organizations.  1  was  one  of 
the  nunilier  sent  lo  the  Chaco  anil  to  the 
jail  in  Oruro.  All  this  occurred  six  months 
after  the  presidential  idections.  and  that 
the  reason  was  purely  political,  goes  with- 
out saying.  .Several  .South  American 
newspapers  commenteii  upon  this  scandal, 
without  precedent  in  the  political  history 
of  B(divia.  It  is  a  pity  llial  Mr.  Gunther 
ignored  il. 

5.  Objector  to  the  Chaco  War,  not '  'deserter" 
.Mr.  Gunther  says,  bluntly,  that  I  was  a 
deserter,  repeating,  without  examining  the 
sources,  the  igniilile  epithet  used  against 
me  by  my  political  enemies  during  the 
presidential  electiiins.  I  was  an  objector 
to  the  Chaco  War  before  it  broke  out — a 
very  different  thing  from  being  a  deserter. 
('This  wont,  in  its  common  and  military 
meaning,  implies  the  forsaking  of  duty 
through  cowardice  or  treason.)  In  April 
I0,?2,  at  which  time  I  was  a  |)rofessor  of 
sociology  on  the  Faculty  of  Law  al  I-a  Paz, 
I  gave  a  lecture  denouncing  the  dark 
machinations  that  were  being  put  into 
action  to  pre|)are  for  that  anti-Bolivian 
war,  which  C.unlher  himself  refers  to  as 
"stupid  ami  useless".  Harassed  by  the 
government,  I  emigrated  to  Peru.  I 
lived  in  Lima  all  during  that  War,  without 
ties  with  any  political  parly  or  foreign 
governmenl.  In  June  19,36,  llii'  military 
governinent  of  'Toro  called  me  lo  La  Paz 
lo  occupy  the  high  oftice  of  Juridical 
Advisor  to  the  recently  created  Ministry 
of  Labor.  M\-  lack  of  conformity  with 
the  pseudo-socialistic  policy  of  Toro  was 
responsible  for  his  exiling  me  lo  Chile, 
in  August  VIMi.  I  li\T(l  until  January 
1940  in  that  hospitable  country,  where  my 
principal  job  was  that  of  Library  .Science 
Technician  in  the  Library  of  Congress. 
In  January  lO.SO  the  Tenienk  Coronel 
liiisch,  another  military  President,  ap- 
pointed me  (without  rcc|uest  on  my  part) 
as  Delegate  of  Uolivia  to  the  First  Inter- 
.'\nierican  Conference  on  Intellectual  Co- 
operation, held  in  .Santiago.  In  December 
1930  the  Boli\ian  University  Kcderation, 
without  my  know  ledge,  nominated  me  as 
its  candidate  for  the  Presidency  of  the 
Republic.  1  returned  to  Holivia  in  Jan- 
uary 1940,  with  a  legal  |)assport,  and  in 
Tebruary  I  publicly  renounced  my  c:indi- 
dacy.  However,  the  students  insisted  on 
supiKJrting  it,  and  a  large  part  of  the  more 
worthy  electorate  of  Boli\-ia  voted  for  me, 
as  is  evidenced  by  the  large  number  of 
votes  I  won  in  the  capitals  of  Oruro, 
Potosi,  and  in  the  most  important  mining 
centers.  And  the  fact  is  that  my  name  at 
that  time  was  (as  might  have  been  that  of 
any  other  citizen  with  greater  political 
prestige)  a  symbol  of  |)opular  resistance

Democracy  means  snmething  entirely 
•  lilTereiil  today  in  South  America  ihan  ii 
does  in  the  United  St.ites,  declared  Jorge 
Icaza,  noted  Ecuadorian  novelist,  when 
he  stopped  in  Willianistown  Monday 
before  attending  the  Inter-American  Sem- 
inar on  Social  Problems  in  Washington 
next  week.  To  the  common  person  in  the 
soutliern  hemisphere,  he  explained,  ilem- 
icracy  refers  to  a  system  which  has  been 
exploiting  him  and  his  people  for  four 
hundred  years. 

Political  Setup 

The  political  setup  in  South  America 
has  remained  the  same  since  King  h'erdi- 
nand  and  Queen  Isabella  of  Spain  divided 
the  land  of  the  continent  into  enormous 
tracts  for  representatives  of  the  Crown, 
the  writer  said.  Although  so-called  re- 
publics have  lieen  established,  they  have 
served  as  a  screen  for  the  same  rule  of  the 
Ldlifundishis,  or  large  landlicjlders.  This, 
of  course  has  not  resulted  in  giving  ex- 
pression to  the  will  of  the  people,  nor  has 
it  improved  their  condition,  he  continued. 

There  have,  however,  been  certain 
sparks  of  democracy,  or  brief  movements 
in  the  tlirection  of  pojiular  governmenl, 
Icaza  admitted,  but  in  every  case  when 
tliesi-  sparks  have  died  out,  the  democratic 
ideal  has  disappeared  and  the  governmenl 
has  returned  to  that  of  the  big  landowners. 
Icaza  in  U.  S.  Five  Days 

Icaza,  who  had  been  in  the  I'niled 
.States  but  five  days  when  interviewed, 
spoke  \ery  little  English,  but  Jose  A.  Arze, 
visiting  Bolivian  U-cturer,  and  Albert  B. 
Franklin,  .Assistant  Professor  of  Romanic 
Languages,  iiUerpri-ted  his  to-the-]>iiiiu 
.Spanish.  Although  Arze  and  Icaza  knew 
each  other  only  by  reputation,  Pranklin 
was  Well  acquainted  with  the  famous 
author,  both  having  resided  in  Duilii, 
Ecuador,  last  year. 

Icaza  is  the  author  of  three  wideh  read 
short  novels,  the  most  famous  being  his 
first,     Iluasipiingo,     published     in     19,32, 


TiirKSToN  '44 

which  pleads  for  improvement  of  the 
Indian  life  in  South  America.  This  novel 
is  a  sketch  that  all  his  future  works  will 
fill  out.  His  latest  book,  Cliolos,  has  been 
translated  into  English  by  Mr.  I'"rankliii, 
and  is  now  awaiting  a  publisher. 
First  Impressions 
Asked  to  compare  .South  America  with 
the  United  States,  Icaza  said  that  his  live 
days  in  this  country  naturally  entitled  bini 
to  give  but  first  impressions.  The  tirst 
thing  that  has  struck  him,  he  commented, 
is  the  gigantic  strength  which  there  must 
have  been  to  build  up  such  a  nation. 

Secondly,  Icaza  added,  technique  ap- 
pears to  have  the  ruling  roll  in  the  United 
States.  South  America  is  living  in  a 
diffi'renl  cenlury,  and  wdiat  is  mire,  the 
rhythm  of  life  is  dififerent.  fhis  may  be 
because  America  was  easier  to  conquer, 
he  hinled,  pointing  out  that  here  there  is 
no  tropical  Brazil,  no  rugged  mountain 
range  like  the  Andes,  no  desolate  frigid 
region  as  in  southern  Argentine  and  Chile. 
Seasons  Unpredictable 

Kurthermore,  Icaza  declared,  the  sea- 
sons in  North  America  arc  readily  pre- 
dictable, for  they  fall  in  consecutive  order, 
while  al  home  the  iiuestion  of  warmth  and 
fertility  of  soil  depends  not  on  the  seasons, 
but  on  the  irregular  upheavals  of  the 
earth's  crust. 

I'his  climate  has  made  the  man  of  North 
America  more  rational,  Icaza  explained, 
and  has  made  it  easier  for  him  to  develop 
a  culture.  Now,  through  technical  means, 
he  is  approaching  a  high  standard  of  living, 
whereas  the  mere  gaining  of  the  where- 
withal to  survive  is  a  major  problem  in 
South  .'\merica. 

This  dilTerencc  is  proved,  Icaza  pointed 
oul,  by  comparing  the  children  of  the  two 
continents.  The  North  American  child  is 
happ\'  and  content  with  life,  while  his 
counterpart  below  the  equator  is  "born 
old,"  born  questioning,  wondering  why  he

Faced  with  one  of  his  toughest  years, 
Coiu-h  l?()l)  Muir  is  finishing  his  first  week 
i.f  fornuii  practice  with  the  Purple  varsity 
swiiinning  squad.  Seriously  crippled  hy 
the  loss  of  four  outstanding  swimmers  from 
last  year's  line-up,  an  abnormally  small 
squad  of  fifteen  men  is  now  concentrating 
on  conditioning  exercises. 

Though  Muir  has  always  had  at  least 
eight  men  from  the  senior  class,  this  year 
he  will  have  to  work  with  only  two,  Art 
Wright,  veteran  breast  stroker,  and  Ernie 
Selvage,  outstanding  diver  last  season. 
Gone  from  this  class  are  Ali-American 
Dave  Maclay,  third  placer  in  the  national 
ISOO-meter  freestyle  event  last  year. 
New  Kngland  reconl  holder  for  the  440- 
yanl  and  220-yard  freestyle  champion, 
and  Jim  La  Ment,  e.v-captain  of  the  l')40- 
41  team  and  New  Kngland  220-yard  free- 
style record  holder. 

The  junior  contribution  to  the  squad 
shows  more  strength.  Sam  Bacon,  New 
England  quarter  mile  champion,  leads  in 
the  distances,  supported  by  Pete  Lanier 
and  Len  Eaton,  with  Don  Early  filling 
the  sprinting  assitjnments.  Bill  Budge  is 
expected  to  h.'a-liine  in  the  backstroke, 
event  where  he  was  outstanding  last  year 
Missing,  howe\er,  are  Bud  Ilubbcll, 
sensational  hri'ast  stroker  and  freestylcr, 
winner  of  the  300-yard  medley  at  the 
New  England  meet  last  spring,  and  Davi'

he  was  captain  of  his  high  school 
team  in  1939.  Last  year  he  played 
first  string  on  the  Exeter  eleven. 
Vorys,  190-pound  left  tackle  from

Columbus  Acad'niy  team.  He  is 
pledged  to  Chi  Psi  fraternity  while 
Gruber  is  a  Delta  Upsilon  pietlge.

which  he  also  captained.  He  was  on  the

a  member  of  Zeta  Psi. 

Affiliated  with  Psi  Upsilon,  Lee  attented 
Lawrenceville  before  coming  to  Williams.

Thumb  Nail  Review:  1941  Fall  Athletic  Results 


With  the  once-beaten  football  eleven  leading  the  way,  Williams  vaisi  y 
athletic  teams  compiled  a  combined  average  of  .611  this  fall,  exactly  dupli- 
cating last  autumn's  performance.  At  the  same  time  the  yearling  aggrega- 
tions improved  over  1944's  record  of  .545  by  maintaining  a  .591  average, 
while  capturing  two  Little  Three  titles  and  tying  for  the  third. 

Only   the  varsitv   soccer  combine  was  unable  to  share  in  a  Little    Ihree  cham- 
pionship   as    the    varsity    football,    freshman    soccer,    and    both     cross-country 
teams   swept    Wesleyan   and    Amherst    aside.     An    upset    win    over    the 
JelTs  threw  the  yearling  grid  race  into  a  three-way  deadlock.

BASKETBALL 

(Continued  from  page  t) 

too  many  undergraduates  of  varsity 
basketball  calibre  who  are  content  to 
confine  their  activities  along  this  line  to 
intramural  play.  If  a  sufficient  number 
appear  on  Monday,  Burnett  will  split  the 
squad  into  two  sections,  one  drilling  in  the 
afternoon,  the  other  in  the  evening. 

For  the  first  time  in  years,  the  quintet 
will  take  a  trip  during  Christinas  recess, 
having  encounters  scheduled  with  Yale 
and  Rutgers  at  the  Westchester  County 
Center  in  New  York  City,  with  Hoistra 
at  Hempstead,  Long  Island,  with  ^'i!la- 
nova  in  Wilmington,  Del.,  and  with  the 
Polytechnic  Institute  of  Brooklyn.  The 
squad  will  make  its  headquarters  at  the 
Y.M.C.A.  in  White  Plains,  where  they  will 
have  daily  practices  starting  December  26. 

With  the  northi'rn  invasion  of  Middle- 
bury  and  the  University  of  Vermont  on 
December  12  and  13  less  than  three  weeks 
away,  Burnett  has  wasted  little  time  in 
putting  his  aggregation  through  an  ex- 
tensive drill  on  fundamentals.  Several 
members  of  the  s(|uad  had  previously 
participated  in  conditioning  scrimmages 
with  Co-Captains  Wils  Barnes  and  Hum- 
ble Quintana  before  the  coach's  arrival. 
In  the  practices  to  date  Burnett  has 
stressed  an  offense  with  two  men  playing 
pivot  positions,  while  the  defense  has  been 
man-to-man. 

No  starting  line-up  has  as  yet  been 
mentioned  by  Burnett,  but  in  all  prob- 
ability Barnes,  last  year's  high  scorer,  will 
take  over  the  center  post  and  play  one  of 
the    pivots.     The    other    pivot    spot    will 


most  likely  be  filled  by  Jack  Harter,  while 
Quintana,  sparkplug  Bob  Wallace,  and 
Roy  Tolles  round  out  the  (|uintet. 

However,  these  players  will  have  no 
easy  job  in  retaining  starting  berths,  for 
last  year's  freshman  k'a<ler  Don  Lindsas-, 
John  Wakeman,  and  .Sophomores  John 
Bridgewater,  Geoige  .Stanley,  Dick  King, 
and  Al  Swain  are  hard  pressing  them. 


GRID  CAPTAINS 

(Continued  from  pago  1) 

In  addition  to  football,  Courter  plays 
lacrosse  and  stars  as  defense  on  the  hockey 
team.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Alpha  Delta 
Phi  fraternity. 

Holden,  who  crashed  into  the  Williams 
starting  line-up  as  a  halfback  in  his  sopho- 
more year,  was  outstanding  in  that  position 
during  the  last  three  seasons.  He  climaxed 
his  collegiate  grid  career  by  captaining  the 
Eph  eleven  when  they  clinched  the  Little 
Three  title  by  trouncing  Amherst  on 
November  15. 

Holden  entered  Williams  from  Chesire 
Academy,  where  he  played  halfback  for 
two  years.  In  addition  to  playing  foot- 
ball for  four  years  at  Williams,  Holdcn  is 
a  member  of  the  Undergraduate  Council 
and  the  Treasurer's  Association.  He  was 
a  Junior  Adviser,  and  is  captain  of  the 
lacrosse  team,  and  president  of  Chi  Psi.

in  several  years,  retain  the  services  of  l!ob[ 
Hendrie  and  Dude  Hemphill,  last  year'il 
number  one  and  two  ranking  iilayers,  and  I 
will  draw  heavily  on  last  year's  fivshniail 
team  and  improving  junior  and  senict| 
material. 

Ileiulrio,  Hemphill  and  Hank  Woll.l 
last  year's  number  four  man,  are  exiicctril

Ray  Ashley,  number  one  [ilayer  on  lasi|

position  as  does  rlassmate  Tod  Hunt  who  I 
started  the  season  at  the  head  of  thtl 
yearlings  last  year  but  was  forced  loilropj

illeKed,  will  thus  lie  avoided. 

Twelve  Areas  Affected 

The  News  Bureau  will  be  paid  by  the 
cdllege  to  seiiil  nut  special  releases  each 
week  to  newspapers  in  one  of  twelve  dis- 
iricts  which  have  been  selected  on  the 
basis  of  the  extent  of  alumni  representa-

which  will  receive  personal  coverage  by 
\1r.  Burns,  the  general  circulation  of  the 
newspapers  that  will  be  served  Williams 
imblicity  gratis  is  well  over  ten  million,

Kach  "story-of-the-week"  will  concern

American  Negro  Art 
Shown   at   Lawrence 

An  exhibhion  ilevoted  entirely  to  the 
irt  of  the  American  Negro,  comprehen- 
sively reflecting  all  the  styles  and  types  of 
contemporary  art,  is  on  view  at  the 
l.awreiue  Art  .Museum  through  Sunday, 
November  30.  The  exhibition,  one  of 
the  few  large  exhibitions  devoted  solely 
to  Negro  art  ever  to  be  circulated,  was 
assembled  by  Professor  Alain  Locke  of 
Howard  University,  Archibald  Macleish, 
Librarian  of  Congress,  and  the  directors 
of  the  WPA  Art  Program. 

Most  of  the  exhibitors  are  professional 
artists  or  national  prize-winners  who  have 
won  prominence  within  the  past  ten 
years.  They  are  artists  who  have  gained 
experience  through  attending  night  schools 
ind  art  classes,  and  decorating  public 
buildings. 

The  majority  of  the  subjects  are  drawn 
from  e\'cryday  life.  Racial  pride  and 
feeling  are  evident,  many  of  the  works 
having  the  emotional  appeal  characteristic 
of  the  negro  spiritual.  Surrealist,  real- 
ist, and  romantic  art  reflecting  hope,  fear, 
sadness,  and  hajipiness  are  present.  .Some 
of  the  more  outstanding  works  are; 
"Reggie",  a  portiait  of  a  bo>'  sensing 
loneliness  and  despair;  the  gayer  side  of 
life  depicted  in  "Moogic-W'oogie"  and 
"Jumpin  Jive";  die  "Lawd  Mali  Man's 
Leaving"  and  "Uncle  Bob"  of  Ciiggen- 
heini  Fellowship  winner  Archibald  Motley, 
Jr.;  an  1  "Still-Life  witli  Screen"  a 
painting  reflecting  uncultured  native 
talent.

With  one  week  of  condilioning  and  pre- 
liminary work  already  behind  them. 
Captain  Ar(  Kichniond's  wrestling  team 
will  swing  into  high  gear  ne.\t  week  in 
preparation  for  the  first  match  of  the 
season,  scheduled  for  Oecember  lO  against 
Lafayette. 

Uncle  Ed  Bullock  greeted  a  sizeable 
squad  on  Monday,  when  the  first  practice 
session  was  held  Present  were  veti-rans 
Art  Richmond,  Johnny  Jacobs,  Hill 
Klopinan,  anil  Hob  Ulakney,  all  of  whom 
saw  service  last  season.  These  four  will 
be  bolstered  by  numerous  sophomores  up 
from  last  year's  undefeated  freshman  team, 
and  the  result  should  be  a  strong  outfit. 

Captain  Richmond  will  take  care  of  the 
121-pound  class,  where  he  performed 
successfully  last  year.  Johnny  Jacobs 
will  again  be  on  hand  in  the  128-pound 
class,  followed  b\"  sophomore  Hobby 
Brown  at  13S.  Competition  al  145 
pounds  will  be  severe,  the  outstanding 
candidates  beint:  Bob  Derge,  Bill  Murfey, 
and  \'eteran  Ralph  Reiizi,  if  he  conies  out 
for  the  team. 

In  the  upper  weight  divisions  the 
services  of  last  year's  Captain  Jake  Karle 
and  heav>\veiglit  Pete  Richards  will  be 
sorely  missed.  Bill  Klopman  is  back 
again,  however,  to  take  care  of  either  the 
KS.S  or  165-p(mnd  division,  with  plenty  of 
competition  in  the  former  from  Herb 
Hell  and  Shep  Poor,  both  of  whom  are 
siiphimiores.  Last  year's  freshman  captain 
Rob  Jones  is  the  chief  contender  bir  the 
17S-pound  berth,  and  veteran  Bob  Blakney 
will  again  perform  at  heavyweight. 


Student  ^Who's  Who' 
Lists  Twelve  Seniors 

Academic,    Outside    Work 
Basis       for       Selections 


.Selected  for  their  display  of  out.staiiding 
ability  in  scholastic  work  and  achieve- 
meats  in  e.xtra-curricular  activities,  twelve 
members  of  the  Williams  senior  class  will 
be  listeil  in  the  1941-42  edition  of  "Who's 
Who  Among  .Students  in  American  Uni- 
versities and  Colleges",  an  annual  publi- 
cation making  its  eighth  successive 
appearance. 

Those  representatives  of  the  class  of 
'42  whose  biographies  will  appear  are: 
Donald  R.  Booz,  (George  C.  Bryan,  Joseph 
W.  Cochran,  Jack  K.  Cireenland.  Cunnar 
A.  llagstrom,  Herbert  llolden.  Jr..  Cyrus 
N.  Morgan,  Hugo  A.  Oswald,  Jr.,  David  K. 
Peet,  Jr.,  C.  Frederick  Kudolph.  Jr., 
Robert  Tnlly,  and  Alfred  N.  Whiting. 

Aside  from  honoring  the  individual 
students,  the  primary  pur|xise  .if  the 
publication  is  to  ser\'e  as  a  reference 
volume  of  relialjle  information  on  the  body 
of  American  College  students.  It  serws 
in  the  capacity  of  a  recommendation  of  the 
student  to  the  business  world,  as  described 
by  its  editors,  it  is  "used  and  consulted  by 
personnel  managers  of  .'\merica's  largest 
companies." 

To  be  included  in  "Who's  Who",  a 
student  must  ha\X'  a  combination  of 
qualities  indicating  that  he  is  outstanding 
and  an  asset  to  his  school — he  must  have 
character,  leadership,  scholarship,  am! 
potentialities. 

As  a  matter  of  interest  the  editors  of 
"Who's  W'ho"  are  at  present  compiling  a 
survey  of  the  present  status  of  students 
listed  in  this  publication  seven  and  eight 
years  ago.  The  purjiose  of  this  survey  is 
to  fiiid  out  if  these  studenis,  who  were 
prominent  in  college,  maintain  that  same 
ambition  and  zeal  in  business  and  pro- 
fessional life. 


Flying  Club  to  Stage 
Air  Meet  Next  Week 

Spot  landings  and  bombing  contests 
will  be  included  in  the  Williams  Flying 
Club's  informal  air  meet  .Siiturday,  Decem- 
ber 6,  President  John  T.  Tuttle  '42 
announced  at  Monday  night's  ground 
school  meeting.  Although  no  definite 
program  has  yet  been  released,  these  two 
events  are  definitely  going  to  be  on  the 
card  next  Saturday  when  Williams  fliers 
compete  among  each  other  in  preparation 
for  next  spring's  intercollegiate  meet. 

With  daily  lessons  from  Instructor 
Richard  Petras  now^  available  the  Club  is 
carrying  on  in  full  force  and  boasts  more 
activity  than  e\er  before.  Latest  ad- 
dition to  the  South  Willianistown  squadron 
is  a  late  1939  Taylorcraft  Cub  model  with 
side-by-sidc     seating. 

At  present  a  drive  to  collect  old  auto- 
mobile tires  for  use  in  marking  the  three 
runways  is  being  carried  on  by  this 
organization.  Painted  white  on  one  side 
for  use  in  warmer  weather,  the  junked  tires 
can  be  turned  over  to  expose  the  black 
surface  after  snow  has  covered  the  field. 


MAJOR  EXAMS    . 

(Continued  from  paiie  1)  ' 
The  permissive  regulations  concern  onl> 
those  seniors  whose  imluclion  into  the 
army  has  not  been  delayed  beyond  the  end 
of  the  present  semester— students  of  J-A 
elassilication.  A  second  semester  reading 
program  in  the  major  will  be  provided  for 
such  seniors,  ll  is  uiulerstood  that  should 
a  student  secure  draft  deb-rmeiit,  he  is  to 
conlinue  his  work  and  lake  the  regular 
June  e.\am.  Any  student  who  expects  to 
be  called  up  at  midyears  and  wishes  to 
take  advantage  of  the  February  I'Xami- 
nalionsis  adviseil  to  make  necessary 
arrangements  before  Decendier  5. 
Twenty-one  Men  Lost 
The  conimitlee's  report  indicates  that 
the  number  of  seniors  who  will  not  be  able 
to  continue  their  academic  work  beyond 
midyears  is  small.  Williams  has  alreads 
Inst  twent\-ime  men  to  the  armed  forces. 
1  )uring  the  last  war  the  college  adopted 
no  delinile  policy  of  granting  degrees  to 
men  who  could  not  complete  their  course 
because  of  the  war  until  six  months  after 
the  Armistice.  In  May  1919  the  Board  of 
Trustees  voted  degrees  to  seniors  who  had 
completed  the  lirst  semester  of  their  senior 
\ear,  provided  they  had  been  honorably 
discharged  from  their  war  service  and  had 
completed  all  the  requirements  of  the 
curriculum  up  to  the  end  of  that  semester. 
Al  the  same  lime  the  Board  voted  honor- 
ary degrees  with  the  same  proviso  to  stu- 
denis who  had  completed  their  junior  year 
before  i-nlerint;  the  war  service^

just  appreciation  of  the  political  position 
of  the  Leftist  Revolutionary  Party  (Part-

short,  the  PIR)  of  which  1  am  the  Chair- 
man, on  lea\'e  of  absence  while  abroad,  the 
\'ic;'-Chairman  being  Dr.  Ricardo  Anaya, 
a  Professor  of  Constitutional  La«  in 
Cochabamba,  Bolivia.  The  PIR  was 
founded  in  the  Leftist  Congress  of  Oruro 
on  July  26,  1940.  It  has  at  present  four 
Representati\es  in  the  National  Congress, 
it  is  not  affiliated  with  any  Internationals, 
either  communistic  or  any  other,  it  sustains 
democratic  methods  of  political  struggle, 
and  it  is  supported  by  the  most  proletar- 
ianized  masses  of  Boli\'ia,  such  as  the  mine 
workers  and  the  most  honest  University 
intellectuals.  The  PIR  has  always  been, 
and    is,   openly   anti-totalitarian.   This   is 


while,"  said  Professor  Winch,  "despite  t 
small  niindwr  of  hours  of  instruction."

Opportuiuties  will  be  offered  to  those 
nen  who  cannot  be  acconimodateil  in 
the  regular  course  to  learn  the  coile,  a 
major  prere(|iiisile  for  the  Rsnlio  Oper- 
ator's License.  Mr.  .Stabler  hopes  to 
make  arrangements  with  W'M.S  to  broad- 
cast daily  half-hour  sessions  of  this  Morse 
Code.  Occasional  demonstration  lectures 
will  be  also  given  if  sufficient  interest  is 
evidenced  by  those  not  enrolled  in  the 
course. 

VVinthrop  S.  Pike  and  Alexander  F. 
Smith  '41,  through  their  training  in 
electronics,  have  olitained  commissions 
as  first  lieutenants  in  the  .Signal  Corps. 
With  these  cases  as  examples,  Mr.  .Stabler 
reasserts  that  the  Sigiuil  Corps  welcomes 
anyone  with  even  a  slight  knowledge  of 
communications  and  radio.  Croat  num- 
bers of  men   are  needed  by  the  army  to 


build, 

tanks,   supply  trucks,  and   planes  and  to 

work    with    direction    finders   and    other 

instruments. 

Other  Colleges  Respond 
This  radio  (lefen.se  course  is  not  uni(|ue 
to  Williams;  most  of  the  colleges  in  the 
country  have  responded  to  the  calls  foi 
men  trained  in  comnmnications  work. 
IJart month  has  gon<'  so  far  as  to  give 
college  credit  for  the  course,  while  Smith 
and  Mt.  llolyoke  h;ive  gone  ahead  in 
establishing  similar  courses  to  train  girls 
so  that  they  will  have  a  backgrouiul  for 
work  with  airplane  detectors  and  direction 
finders. 


I  .  I  demonstrated  by  the  |)oints  of  its  Program, 
by  the  action  of  its  Parliamentary  Brigade, 
and  by  its  practices  of  political  struggle. 
The  Germans  neither  tlared,  dare,  nor  would 
dare,  therefore,  to  flirt  wilh  the  PIR.  But 
the  PIR  is,  at  the  same  time,  a  Party 
which  fights  against  the  reactionar>' 
oligarchies  that  oppress  the  Bolivian 
people,  and  for  that  reason  the  present 
go\'ernment  of  Bolivia,  which  is  an  ex- 
pression of  these  oligarchies,  persecuted  it 
as  commiinislic  when  this  word  ser\'ed  as  a 
pretext  to  harass  domestic  enemies.  Now 
.some  Latin  American  governments  are 
using  the  pretext  of  nazisni  for  the  same 
ends  (and  also  to  get  loans  in  the  L'nited 
States).  Even  at  the  time  I  left  Bolivia 
(June  1941)  to  come  to  Williamstown 
(having  been  invited  as  a  lecturer  by  the 
"Association  of  Committees  for  Inter- 
American  Placement"),  workers  of  the 
PIR — members  of  the  National  Labor 
Union  Council — were  being  persecuted  as 
NazisC.)  This  is  a  camouflage  against 
which  North  American  opinion  must  be  on 
guard.  It  is  a  pity  that  Ciunther  also 
allowed  himself  to  be  deceived  a  little  by 
that  camouflage. 

The  Pir<  agrees  entirely  with  all  the 
measures  taken  to  defend  the  Hemisphere 
against  the  menaces  of  the  foreign  Total- 
itarians,  and  also  against  the  treacherous 
or  mistaken  Bolivians  who  were  or  are  in 
effective    complicity    with    the    criminal 


service,  and  operate  radio  sets   in  |  machinations  of  the  Axis.     But  this  is  one 

thing,  and  it  is  another  and  very  different 
thing  to  complicate  oneself  with  the 
Creole  knavishness  of  certain  Latin  Amer- 
ican politicians,  skillful  in  inventing 
"synthetic  conspiracies"  in  which  the 
most  worthy  anti-totalitarians  and  demo- 
crats appear  to  be  "involved"  as  nazi 
plotters 

It  is  not  difficult  to  realize  that  Mr. 
Ciunther,  in  his  hlitztrip  by  airplane  to 
Bolivia,  was  "circled"  by  groups  of  persons 
interested  in  making  him  see  only  one  side 
of  the  political  picture.  1  trust  that 
Ciunthei's  opinions,  when  he  becomes  more 
fully  accpiainted  with  the  realities  of  my 
country  will  be  modified  substantially. 

I  did  not  intend  to  speak  abroad  of  the 
domestic  political  alTairs  of  my  country, 
but  the  nature  of  Cunther's  judgments  has 
obliged  me  to  do  so. 

1  will  thank  you  Mr.  liditor,  for  ptib- 
lishing  the  foregoing  rectifications  which, 
— as  a  professor  here,  as  well  as  in  Bolivia, 
and  as  a  political  leader  in  that  country, — 
I  deem  necessary  to  defend  my  reputation.

as  to  the  workings  of  the  organizations 
and  their  history  will  also  be  broadcast. 

Evening  broadcasts  were  considered  at 
first,  but  due  to  better  afternocm  reception 
conditions,  the  latter  time  was  chosen  by 
the  Pittsfield  station.  The  nearness  of  the 
Jesup  studios  will  make  it  easier  for  pro-

.^n  olTei  of  li'deral  union  between  the 
two  gieat  domoiricies,  Creat  Britain  and 
the  United  States,  will  be  made  cither  by 
the  British  goxi'rnm.'nt  to  our  government 
or  by  our  gav^Tunv.-nt  to  the  British  govetn- 
ment  before  the  end  of  the  war,  predicted 
i'lof.  Frederick  L.  Schuman,  ace  prog- 
iiosticator  of  the  political  science  dejiart- 
meiit  in  a  Saterday  interview. 

The  (piestion  of  whether  such  a  move  will 
come  in  time  to  |)re\-eiit  world  domination 
by  the  Nazi  "New  Order"  remains  to  be 
seen,  believes  the  noted  analyst  and  author, 
but  "before  the  war  is  won  some  kind  of 
offer  for  feder.il  union  will  be  made." 
'Would  Help  Win  War' 

"If  it  is  made  in  time  it  would  help  to 
win  the  war;  if  it  is  iiiaile  tco  late  as  was 
Churchill's  offer  to  Keynaud  immediately 
before  the  fall  of  France,  Hitler  will  have 
won  the  war,"  he  ass'.-rtcd. 

The  mininiuni  terms  which  would  offer 
promi.se  of  achieving  the  puriMse  of  such 
:i  pact  acre  idiiig  to  I'lofessoi  Schuman 
woald  involve  -i  taiiff  union,  the  creation 
of  a  fre'  trade  area,  and  a  British  an.l 
Ameii:'an  joint  s.aff  "implying  a  practical 
union  of  the  fighting  foices  of  the  two 
c.nintries." 

"If  this  were  to  he  a  project  designed  to 
appeal  to  con(|uere(l  Kiiropean  nations, 
which  indeed  it   mu.st  be,"  continued  the 


political  scientist,  "it  would  have  to  he 
merely  a  basis  for  a  democratic  federation 
on  a  world  scale,  a  federation  which  would 
include  the  nations  of  South  America 
and  e\eiitually  the  Nazi  dominated 
countries  themselves." 

U.  S.   Has   'Negative'   Policy 

I'rofessor  Schuman.  who  has  ilenounced 
what  he  terms  the  "negative"  or  passive 
policies  of  the  United  .States  and  (ireat 
Britain  since  the  outset  of  the  war,  em- 
l)hasized  that  "In  the  World  War  the  allied 
forces  had  something  to  appeal  to  the  world 
whereas  the  Central  Powers  ilid  not. 
Now,"  he  said,  "things  are  e.\aetly  re- 
versed." 

"The  war  is  still  being  envisioned  in 
British  and  American  circles  in  terms  of 
production  and  supply,  which  is  undeniably 
an  important  factor,  but  to  \mX  it  as  did 
Kussoll  Davenport's  Fortune  article,  we're 
living  in  a  time  of  world  revolutions; 
so  far  we've  left  Hitler  to  ride  the  wave  of 
that  world  revolution  and  control  it. 
Until  we  take  control,  the  chances  of  our 
winning  the  war  aie  mighty  poor." 

Ill  conclusion,  iie  repeatcfl,  "I  regard 
some  kind  of  feder.il  union  between  the  two 
great  democracies  not  necessJiriiy  as  an 
assurance  of  victory,  but  definitely  as  a 
prerequisite  of  victory."

'U.  S.,  Jap  Ideals  Are 
Compatible'-  •  Dennett 

Tyler  Dennett,  president,  emeritus  of 
Williams  College,  told  a  New  York  Foreign 
Policy  Association  meeting  Saturday  that 
Japan's  inability  to  understand  the  ideals 
of  American  foreign  policy  has  brought  that 
country  to  the  verge  of  a  "needless  war" 
with  the  United  States. 

Nippon's  efforts  to  gain  by  intimidation 
and  "force"  what  might  be  accomplished  by 
"patience"  the  speaker  termed  "foolish 
and  utterly  stupid."  Mr.  Dennett,  author- 
ity on  American-Japanese  relations,  pointed 
out  that  a  military  conflict  between  the 
two  nations  would  be  without  historical 
parallel  because  Japan  and  the  United 
States  have  cultural  and  economic  interests 
that  are  entirely  "compatible."  The  Unit- 
ed States  has  consistently  befriended  Japan 
in  the  past  and  encouraged  her  advance- 
ment, he  added. 

In  his  address  which  he  suggested  might  be 
entitled,  "A  Farewell  to  Mr.  Kurusu,"  Mr. 
Dennett  declared  that  the  special  Japanese 
Ambassador's  mission  in  America  was  at 
an  end  if  he  had  come  here  to  "find  whether 
wc  would  fight."  Japan,  he  asserted,  has 
not  seemed  to  be  able  to  realize  that  the 
United  States  does  not  have  a  desire  for 
Pacific  monopolies,  nor  has  she  understootl 
that  this  nation  will  not  be  intimidated. 

Other  speakers  on  the  Association's 
panel  includel  Henry  Luce,  editor  and 
publisher  of  Time,  Life,  and  Fortune,  and 
Wilfrid  Fleisher,  former  Tokio  correspon- 
dent for  the  Herald  Tribune.

Blakney  Publishes 
'Meister  Eckhart' 

His  English  Translation 
First  American  Edition 
of      Mystic's       Writings 


"Meistet  Eckharl,"  a  translation  from 
the  orlgiiiai  Mlikiie  riigh  Cn-tiii.in  14ili 
century  te.xt,  by  the.  Rev.  Robert  H. 
Blakney,  appeared  in  print  this  week  as 
the  climax  of  three  years  work  on  the 
600-year  old  volume.  Harper  and 
Hrothers,  learning  of  his  avocation,  asked 
Mr.  Blakney  if  they  might  publish  his 
translation  of  the  books  of  the  famed 
German  mystic 

"If  a  student  wants  to  know  what  makes 
the  wheels  go  'round  in  Christianity,  he 
will  get  an  answer  from  a  reading  of  Eck- 
hart,"  Mr  Blakney  explained  "lie  is 
best  identified  to  us  as  the  mystic  and 
preacher  who  first  stated  the  essential 
Quaker  idea  200  years  before  the  founding 
of  the  Quaker  party  This  is  oddly 
contrasted  with  the  present  day  statements 
of  German  Nazis  that  he  is  a  member  of 
their  Party  in  good  standing  By  pervert- 
ing a  few  of  his  statements  into  propa- 
ganda, they  have  distorted  the  ideas  of  a 
religious  philosopher  who  wanted  to 
quarrel  with  no  man."

^Berlin  Diary'  Shirer  Sees  No  Nazi  Economic 
Collapse;"Says  Only  United  States  Can  Win  War 


by  Sam  Hunted  '44 

"Loud  talk"  will  not  win  the  war; 
America  must  light  to  insure  the  defeat  of 
Hitler.  That  is  the  mea.sured  opinion  of 
plump,  balding  William  L.  Shirer,  well- 
known  news  commentator  and  author  of 
best-selling  Berlin  Diary. 

Pointing  out  that  the  United  States 
must  light  Hitler  eventually,  Shirer  de- 
clared in  a  recent  Record  interview  that 
aside  from  moral  issues  the  dictates  of 
"plain  horse  sense"  prescribe  ininiediatc 
American  intervention  while  this  country 
can  still  profit  from  British  and  Russian 
assistance.  Shirer  takes  sharp  issue  with 
the  contention  made  at  Williams  by  Louis 
Fischer  three  weeks  ago  that  American 
production  and  arms  shipments  without 
full  American  military  participation  in  the 
war  can  crush  the  Nazi  military  machine. 
The  former  CBS  Berlin  correspondent 
admitted  that  he  was  at  a  loss  to  see  how 
the  American  people  can  expect  to  win  a 
war  in  which  they  permit  their  allies  to  do 
all  the  "fighting  and  dying". 

One*  Thought  U.  S.  'Soft' 

A  little  more  than  one  year  ago  when 


Shirer  returned  to  America  after  having 
spent  nearly  sixteen  years  abroad,  his 
first  impression  was  that  Americans  had 
"gone  soft".  Their  passions  for  material 
security  and  physical  comfort  dominated 
their  thought,  and  a  deadly  parallel  was 
apparent  between  pre-\'ichy  France  and 
conditions  here.  Industry  was  threaten- 
ing to  strike  for  'profit  without  risk';  an 
apprehensive  labor  movement  fearful  of 
social  retrogression  under  the  cover  of  the 
war  emergency  was  causing  spasmatic 
production  holdups;  the  government  was 
fearful  of  antagonizing  various  pressure 
groups  and  did  not  take  actitm. 

America  Has  Found  'Unity' 
In  the  one  short  year  since  his  return, 
however,  Shirer  feels  that  tremendous 
progress  has  been  made  in  the  direction  of 
national  unity.  Even  the  Middle  West, 
traditionally  isolationist,  is  today  awaken- 
ed to  the  menace  of  fascist  world  domina- 
tion according  to  the  astute  European 
political  observer  who  has  just  completed' 
a  lecture  tour  of  that  section.  Shirer  is 
confident  that  the  American  people  see

The  Chest  Fund  Drive 

The  men  who  are  rnnning  thi.s  year'.s  ("hest  Fund  have  asked  lis  to 
write  an  editorial  al)out  the  values  and  the  imj)eratives  of  the  annual 
charily  drive. 

There  are  different  vvay.s  to  get  at  this  mattor  of  making  an  appeal  to 
undergraduates  for  $6,000. 

Some  have  suggested  the  shame  technique.     "Tell  them,"  we  are 
loltl,  "ahout  Smith,  where  the  goal  is  about  five  times  as  big  and  the  stu 
dent  body  only  a  little  more  than  twice  as  big  as  Williams." 

Some  one  else  has  said,  "Remind  them  that  they  spent  more  than 
twice  $6,000  over  Amherst  weekend,  and  that  over  half  of  $6,000  was 
poured  into  (lancing  alone." 

Otiiers  have  suggested  that  we  re.sort  to  Bartlett's  Quotations  and  the 
Bible  for  conii)elling  gems,  written  at  various  times  during  human  history 
in  behalf  of  sweet  charity. 

Others  wonld  jirefer  that  we  remind  the  undergraduate  conmiunity 
that  here  is  the  oidy  time  in  the  year  that  they  are  asked  to  give  anything; 
that  this  is  the  ap|)eal  for  the  year:  no  one  will  bother  you  again. 

Frankly,  we  tlon't  think  any  of  this  is  necessary  or  desirable.  The 
Chest  Fund  always  docs  a  good  job  of  speaking  for  itself:  the  collectors 
do  a  more  than  a(le(inate  job  of  seeing  every  undergraduate  and  of 
publicizing  their  goals.  The  residts  don't,  and  shouldn't  depend  upon 
shame  techniques  and  foiu'  or  five  inches  in  the  college  newspaper's 
editorial  colunnus.  The  results,  whether  more  or  less  than  $6,000,  de- 
pend upon  the  willingness  of  Williams  undergraduates  to  dig  into  their 
|)0ckets  in  I  he  interest  of  a  human  way  of  life.  Whether  the  WCA 
collects  .Sli.OOO  or  $1,5,000  is  important.  It  is  more  important  thai  the 
sum  they  do  collect  measures  undergraduate  generosity  and  responsibility 
rather  than  the  success  of  forced  giving.

privileije  to  live  ill  daily  conlaci  with  him, 
coniiiin  'o  know  him  as  a  friend  and  to 
learn  his  views  on  a  v^ariety  of  issues. 
Krom  this  experience  1  wish  to  comnienil 
him  to  all  who  have  lliis  opportunity  to 
hear  liiiii  as  a  man  of  inlcKrity  anil  ability 
who  is  also  ail  outstaiidiiit;  sjieaker.  It  is 
characteristic  of  VVilhelni  .Sollmann  that 
although  he  spoke  no  Kn.nlish  live  years 
ago  h^^  now  is  amnnt;  ihis  countr\'s  most 
ctTective  speakers. 

This  is  hanlly  the  placi'  for  biographical 
iletail,  absurbinn  as  it  is.  You  may  read 
I'lsi'when-  cif  his  part  in  the  German  \outh 
and  labor  iiiovenieiits  prior  to  I9IS;  how 
he  became  leader  in  Western  (jeriiiany  of 
the  kevolution  of  Novemlier  191SlH'cause 
of  his  dedication  to  I  he  cause  of  democracy 
ill  Gernian\'  and  his  desire  to  hold  in  check 
extremists  of  the  left  as  well  as  the  rinht; 
how  he  carried  forward  as  a  member  of  the 
ReichstaK  and  as  the  Kditor  of  a  string  of 
newspapers  in  the  Khineland  the  work  he 
had  uiiderlaken  as  a  sii;ner  of  the  Peace 
Treaty  and  a  founder  of  the  Weimar 
Republic.  His  passive  resistance  cini- 
paign  against  Krench  elTorts  to  alienate 
the  Khineland  from  Germany  in  192.H  was 
a  Western  forerunner  !too  little  known) 
of  Gandhi's  non-violent  resistance  again.st

Wilhelm  Sollmann,  who  as  -Secretary  of 
the  Interior  under  Chancellor  Dr.  .Strese- 
niann  held  the  third  highest  ofiice  in  the 
Geriiian  Ucpublic,  knows  Nazi  practice  at 
first  hand.  In  1933,  .shortly  after  being 
elected  to  the  Reichstag  for  the  eighth 
time,  he  was  attacked,  beaten  and  tortured 
by  storm  troopers.  Following  a  miracu- 
lous escape  he  continued  his  resistance 
against  Nazism  from  the  Saar  Territory, 
then  under  League  mandate.  When  in 
the  I93.S  pkl)iscile.  Hitler  won  the  Saar, 
another  escape  under  doaperate  circum- 
stances was  made. 

In  America  as  a  resident  since  April 
1937,  Wilhelm  .Sollmann  has  helpeil  to 
organize  Loyal  Americans  of  German 
Descent.  He  lectures  widely  and  is 
active  in  groups  working  lo  preserve  and 
extend  democracy  as  a  way  of  life.     He 


looks  forward  keenly  lo  the  day  next 
spring  when  he  may  become  a  citizen  of 
what  he  considers  the  greatest  nation  on 
earth. 

Willudiii  Sdllniann  not  only  speaks  with 
aulhority  on  Germany,  l)Ut,  as  an  apt 
student  of  human  nature  during  an 
uncommonly  active  life,  he  speaks  to  all 
who  are  concerned  with  man's  efforts  to 
govern  himself.  Tho.se  in  and  about 
Willianistown  who  are  fortunate  enough  to 
hear  him  will  receive  a  challenging  and 
stimulating  message  from  a  great  human 
heart .

(Continued  from  page  I) 
the  Idtalitariaii  danger  and    "will  act    in 
time". 

No  German  Economic  Collapse 

Shiior  discdunts  the  possibility  of  a 
German  economic  collapse  under  the 
pressure  of  the  war.  "Although  Get  many 
is  being  pinched  economically,  she  is 
certainly  not  near  the  breaking  point,"  he 
declared.  There  is  little  popular  enthu- 
siasm in  Germany  for  the  war.  'The 
German  masses  want  peace,  but  it  must 
be  a  Nazi  peace  for  they  fear  the  wrath  of 
the  coiKiuored  and  enslaved  millions  of 
occupied  Europe.  Germany  is  deter- 
mined to  win  the  war  at  any  co.st,  Shirer 
warned,  and  she  is  strong.  But  the  Nazis 
will  crack  under  a  force  of  sufliciont 
strength.  "Only  the  UnitctI  States  is 
strong  enough  to  provide  the  necessary 
last  ounce  of  strength,"  he  added. 
Nazis  vs.  Russians 

Shirer  attributes  German  military  suc- 
cesses prior  to  the  Russian  invasion  to 
Hitler's  strategy  of  civilian  terrorism, 
ixiralyzing  the  enemy  behind  its  lines, 
anri  great  daring  in  attack.  Another 
factor  in  the  Nazi  successes  has  been  their 
understanding  of  total  war.  The  German 
Wekrmuclit  has  stalled  on  the  Russian 
front  because  it  has  met  a  "niodernly 
eciuipped  army"  that  understands  the 
meaning  of  total  war.  The  Russians  have 
been  the  first  to  learn  how  to  slop  the 
panzer  divisions  by  defending  positions  in 
depth,  allowing  tanks  to  penetrate  the 
front  lines  and  then  isolating  and  destroy- 
ing them. 

Hitler's  Motive  in  Russia 

Queried  on  Hitler's  motives  in  turning 
on  the  Soviet  Union,  Shirer  asserted  that 
this  move  indicated  a  Nazi  admission  of 
the  inevitability  of  a  long  war.  For  such 
an  extended  contest  Hitler  needs  Russian 
resources  and  Russian  production.  Shirer 
predicted  that  the  Red  Army  would  hold 
out  even  if  pushed  hack  to  the  Urals  as 


long  as  American  and  British  supplies 
continue  to  come  through.  A  Russian 
triumph  for  Hitler  would  make  an  allied 
victory  impossible,  and  we  must  see  that 
"Russia  stays  in  the  war  indefinilely," 
Shirer  asserted. 

With  Louis  Fischer,  Shirer  believes  that 
Britain  might  effect  a  speedier  conclusion 
to  the  war  if  it  were  willing  to  utilize 
Hitler's  own  terror  tactics  and  submit 
Germany  lo  extensive  bombings.  'The 
lirst  bombing  of  Berlin  on  August  25,  1940 
was  a  tremendous  blow  lo  German  illusions 
of  invulnerability.  Shirer  is  of  the  opinion 
that  a  British  policy  of  consistent  bombing 
rather  than  inlerniittenl  air  raids  will 
strike  a  damaging  and  perhaps  in  the  end 
decisive  blow  at  German  morale. 


NYA  Job  Will  Supply 
Papers  With  News  Of 
Local  Boys  In  College 

James  M.  Burns  '.39,  assistant  to  the 
president  and  director  of  publicity,  an- 
nounced today  that  the  services  of  a  stu- 
dent with  an  NYA  job  wouUI  soon  be  made 
available  for  the  flooding  of  home  town 
newspapers  with  news  about  local  boys 
at  Williams. 

Mention  of  this  newest  addition  to  the 
Williams  publicity  program  was  omitted 
from  the  stor\'  in  Friday's  Record,  be- 
cause of  uncertainty  about  the  availability 
of  an  NYA  job.  Mr.  Burns  announced 
that  .since  the  job  has  now  been  definitely 
made  available,  undergraduates  can  soon 
expect  to  find  coverage  of  their  college 
activities  in  their  local  newsjiapers. 

Failure  of  Williams  to  provide  home 
tow'n  newspapers  with  news  of  Williams 
untlergraduates  has  long  been  a  basic 
weakness  of  Williams  publicity  organiza- 
tion, as  Record  editorials  last  spring  and 
last  Friday  pointed  out. 


BLAKNEY 


(Continued  from  pa^c  1) 
and  does  not  expect  the  book  to  appeal  lo 
a  large  audience.  It  was  entirely  due  to 
the  recpiest  of  the  publishing  company, 
who  had  learned  of  its  existence,  that  it 
was  finally  printed  in  book  form.  At 
present  it  is  the  only  translation  of  Kck- 
hart  by  an  American  author  save  for 
scattered   quotations  and   sayings. 

There  is  a  great  deal  of  interest  in  the 
mystic  in  England  where  one  other  trans- 
lation has  been  |)ublished  and  Kckhart 
has  been  translated  in  Germany,  in  a 
kind  of  renaissance  of  his  ideas,  by  about  a 
dozen  authors.  One-third  of  one  of  these 
translations  reached  Rev  Blakney  before 
the  war,  but  the  rest  of  that  manuscript 
may  never  get  to  this  country. 

Used  Harvard  Manuscript 

Mr  Blakney  used  a  copy  of  some  of 
Eckart's  work  which  was  loaned  by 
ll.irvard  University  for  translation.  His 
book  consists  also  of  an  historical  sketch 
of  Meister's  life,  times  and  influence  be- 
sides the  translation  of  the  two  Fckhart 
books  which  occupy  the  hulk  of  the 
volume. 

lickhart  lived  from  1260-1327  and  is  of 
great  interest  to  moral  and  religious  philos- 
ophers. Reverend  Blakney's  translation 
will  be  of  great  interest  to  these  scholars 
and  to  students  in  colleges  which  teach 
moral  and  religious  philosophy  courses. 
"If  my  book  reaches  anyone  who  will  be 
influenced  by  Eckhart  anil  who  can  preach 
his  ideas,  it  will  have  gi\'on  reason  for  its 
existence,"  Reverend  Blakney  concluded.

Twenty-five  potential  grapplers  have 
reported  to  Uncle  Ed  Bullock  this  week 
with  175-pound  Harry  Savage,  captain  of 
last  year's  Exeter  team,  and  Jack  Winant 
the  most  promising  men.  Winant  was 
captain  of  Peddle  and  wrestled  for  Poly 
Prep  before  that. 

Comjietition  appears  to  be  strongest  in 
the  heavier  classes  with  most  all  men  who 
have  had  ijrevious  experience  weighing 
over  150  pounds.  Although  the  percent- 
age of  cxpiTienced  men  on  the  s(|uad  is 
slighth  aliove  average,  prospects  for  the 
opener  with  Choate  are  not  (|uite  as  bright

Midyear  Major  Examinations   Scheduled 
For  Spring  Though  None  Offered  in  1917-19 

The  college  faculty  has  approved  the  decision  of  its  Committee  on  Educational 
Policy  to  hold  midyear  major  examinations  for  seniors  facing  army  induction  in 
the  second  semester  of  their  final  academic  year, 
meeting  of  the  faculty  last  Mon 


At  th 

day  Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
reviewed  the  historical  considerations 
which  guided  the  committee's  move  in 
setting  U|)  machinery  for  Kcbruary  major 
examinations  without  accompanying  final 
examinations.  The  President  outlined 
the  essential  differences  between  war 
emergency  conditions  of  1917  and  1941 
as  they  affected  the  student.  He  also 
traced  the  development  of  the  college's 
1919  policy  of  awarding  war  degrees. 
1917  War 

In  1917  the  war  emergency  came  in  the 
middle  of  the  second  semester  following 
the  April  6  formal  war  declaration.  Early 
that  semester  a  Reserve  Officers'  Training 
Corps  had  been  established  at  Williams, 
A  draft  law  was  not  passed  until  June  of 
that  year.  Consequently,  the  college 
community  was  not  affected  by  the 
Selective  Service  Act.  Most  of  the  under- 
graduates who  left  college  in  the  spring  of 
1917  did  80  as  volunteers  and  usually 
attended  the  first  Plattsburg  camp,  which 
began  May  IS. 


The  dcinand  at  that  time  upon  the 
colleges  was  made  in  an  effort  to  overcome 
immediately  a  shortage  of  officer  material 
that  had  arisen  in  connection  with  the 
hurried  creation  of  a  large  military  force. 
The  Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps  has 
been  functioning  ever  since  the  war  and 
today  there  is  no  such  shortage.  The 
number  of  students  who  are  being  called 
upon  to  enter  the  armed  forces  is  much 
smaller  than  in  1917. 

Commenting  on  the  1917-18  war  degree 
policies  of  the  college.  Acting  President 
Newhall  placed  special  emphasis  on  the  ab- 
sence of  a  major  examination  at  that  time. 
He  indicated  that  any  attempt  to  apply 
those  policies  today  would  raise  problems 
as  to  the  extent  to  which  the  major  require- 
ment would  be  sacrificed  as  a  prerequisite 
for  a  Williams  degree.  The  action  of  the 
Committee  on  Educational  Policy  was 
based  on  this  consideration.

degrees  during  the  last  war  Acting  Presi-

Stage  Design  Exhibit 
On  View  At  Museum 

In  answer  to  a  growing  interest  in  drama 
on  the  campus  precipitated  b\'  the  com- 
pletion of  the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre, 
the  Lawrence  Art  Museum  presents  an 
exhibition  devoted  to  the  art  of  the  theater. 
Entitled  "The  Development  of  Stage 
Design",  the  exhibit  will  be  shown  from 
December  7  to  20. 

Lent  by  the  American  I'ederation  of 
Arts,  the  display  has  been  arranged  by 
Waldemar  Johansen,  technical  director  of 
dramatics  at  Stanford  llniversit\'.  .'\p- 
proxiniately  fifty  designs,  in  color  and 
black-and-white,  of  .settings  for  Cireck, 
Shakespearean,  seventeenth  and  eight- 
eenth century,  and  modern  phiys  are 
included.  Emphasis  is  placed  on  the 
historical  development  of  stage  design 
and  the  different  theatrical  methods  of 
various  cultures  and  periods.  Such  tech- 
nical matters  as  three-diiTiension.il  volume, 
correlation  between  actors  and  setting, 
and  the  designer's  approach  are  illustrated. 

The  designs  range  in  chronological  order 
from  "The  Trojan  Women"  of  I'-uripides 
to  Maxwell  Anderson's  "Star  Wagon."

Williams  Swimmers 
Start  to  Show  Form 

Tentative  Relays  Picked 
For    Precision    Training 

Coach  Hob  .Muir's  swiniiiiing  squad  is 
responding  to  its  practice  riaitiius  this 
week  and  lieginning  to  Like  shape  as  ,in 
elTective  team.  Crippled  by  hea\'y  losses, 
the  Purple  mennen  are  wiirking  hard  in 
order  to  capitalize  on  every  small  adv.iii- 
tage  that  conies  their  way. 

A  tent  itive  400-yard  rela>'  team  of  Jack 
Baxter,  Bill  Wilson,  Steve  Ober,  and  Don 
Early  his  lieen  formed  and  is  jiract icing 
starts  and  finishes  in  an  effort  lo  attain 
earh'-season      polish.  lAlthough      Muir 

stresses  the  fact  that  no  combination  call 
be  sure  so  soon,  he  hopes  to  be  able  lo 
start  these  four  against  Massachusetts 
State  College  an  January  10. 

More  difficult  is  the  picking  of  the 
medley  relay  group.  Bill  Budge  iiid  Koss 
MacDonaUl  are  both  candidates  for  the 
first  backstroke  leg,  as  are  .Art  Wright  and 
llank  llewetson  for  the  breast  strokidierth. 
The  one  sure  position  on  the  cimiliinalion 
SL'cms  to  go  to  sprinter  Don  Early  in  the 
anchor  skit . 

Muir  feels  that  by  the  end  of  the  week, 
Art  Wright,  senior  breast  stroker,  will  be 
showing  his  best  form  and  ready  to  stail 
training  for  time.  Sam  Bacon,  the  squad's 
bulwaik,  is  already  giving  observers  gooil 
reason  for  expeding  him  lo  carry  the  bulk 
of  the  Williams  burden  in  competition. 

Of  the  sophomores  on  the  squad,  liank 
Hewctson  and  Ross  MacDonald  havi- 
shown  the  quickest  improvement.  Mac- 
Donald,  primarily  ■■'  backstroker,  may  be 
featured  later  in  the  season  in  the  free  style 
events  if  the  need  arises.

Athletic  Policy 

Tlicre  is  as  much  griping  at  Wiliiam.s  ahoiit  athletics  and  athletic 
policy  a.s  I  here  is  uhout  anything  else,  but  we  can  certainly  glow  warmly 
in  llie  knowledge  I  hat  the  followiii),'  five-point  program  for  subsidized 
alliietics  has  been  offered  at  a  college  other  than  ours: 

1.  Uelentioii  of  the  present   .scholastic  requirements. 

2.  Full  scholarships,  inclndiug  all  college  fi'cs. 
;5.     Supplying  players  with  hooks. 

I.  Living  aceominodatioiis  and  training  talile  during  the  school  year 
for  players. 

5.  .Vtfeinpl  to  attain  |)art-linie  jobs  for  players  through  cooperation 
of  ahiinni,  etc. 

Tiiis  proposal  has  recently  been  offered  at  NYU  by  the  Undergrad- 
uate Ne\v.s|)aper  ("ouncil  of  the  university.  How  much  is  left  undetermin- 
ed in  the  "etc."  of  point  five  we  do  not  know,  but  to  anyone  who  has  not 
lost  sight  of  the  nici-its  and  purposes  of  athletics,  the  NYU  proposal  be- 
criiiies  a  slander  on  everything  good  in  the  word  athletics. 

It  is  very  true  that  Williams  athletics  arc  not  all  that  they  ought  to 
be.  VVe  side  with  the  thirty-two  freshmen  who  want  a  recognized  fresh- 
man ski  team.  We  think  that  Williams  needs  an  indoor  hockey  rink 
much  more  than  a  maternity  wing  for  the  infirmary,  which  has  been 
talked  about  in  some  circles.  We  admit  that  undergraduates  and  coaches 
many  times  have  run  against  stone  walls  in  efforts  to  make  a  <lent  on  .some 
])art  of  the  athletic  .setup  of  the  college. 

But  it  fakes  .somcfhing  like  this  bold  and  mafter-of'-f'act  i)lan  at 
N^  U,  published  recently  in  the  New  York  7'(/;jc.s,  to  send  home  the  very 
real  fact  that  in  s|)ile  of  .shortcomings,  Williams  at  least  knows  what 
counts  ill  athletics.  Williams  is  not  interested  in  |)ampering  any  of  its 
iiiidergrailiiJites  beyond  the  point  of  maintaining  a  .staff  of  superior  coaches, 
exactly  in  the  way  it  is  not  interested  in  i)am|)eriiig  them  in  the  classroom 
beyond  maintaining  .a  superior  faculty.  At  Williams  athletics  arc  not 
considered  in  terms  of  dollars. 

.Vfhietics  find  expression  here  in  small  foams  in  which  coaches  and 
niembers  know  each  other;  in  athletic  contests  at  which  spectators  are 
considerably  more  interested  in  wlio  is  playing  than  in  whether  a  particular 
game  has  drawn  the  biggest  gate  of  the  year;  in  intramurals  or  in  a  mania 
for  si(ua.sh.  From  the  year  one,  athletics  have  had  no  better  reasons  for 
existing  than  in  the  development  of  the  body  and  in  the  sjiort  and  ex- 
l)ei'ieiice  of  group  activity.  A  story  on  the  front  page  of  tonight's  RKCOiii) 
shows  how  far  from  these  purposes  Yale  has  come  in  its  emphasis  upon  the 
stray  rewards  of  athletics  —  money  and  victory.  One  of  the  virtues,  the 
advantages,  of  Williams  lies  in  the  success  with  which  it  has  maintained 
a  (listinelioii  between  purpo.ses  and  rewards.  Our  athletic  iJolicy  does 
not  always  answer  every  need  and  every  demand,  but  we  have  not  come  to 
the  .sad  slate  of  afl'airs  which  prevails  at  Y'ale  and  N.  Y.  U.,  where  fortui- 
tous rewards  are  cf>rrupting  wholly  good  purposes.

lirecl  |)etition  of  a  student.  On  March 
28,  1917  a  petition  asking  for  permission 
to  take  final  examinations  immediately  in 
s^'cond  semester  courses  was  granted  to  a 
student  who  had  been  appointed  to  the 
N,ival  Coast  Patrol  Ueser\e. 

On  April  20  after  the  American  war 
declaration  the  faculty  voted  that  seniors 
eligible  for  graduation  in  June  would  he 
recoMiniended  for  their  degrees  without 
further  retpiirements,  provided  they  were 
withdrawing  from  the  college  to  enter 
innnediatel\'  into  ambulance  service  in 
France.  At  the  C.immenceinent  of  1917 
upon  recommendation  of  the  faculty  and 
by  act  of  the  Trustees  ftirty-cight  of  the 
10()  graduating  seniors  who  were  serving 
in  the  National  .Service  had  their  degrees 
conferred  upon  them  in  absentia. 

The  necessity  for  the  college  authorities 
to  give  further  consideration  to  the  policy 
of  dealing  with  students  who  were  leaving 
college  to  enter  the  armed  forces  did  not 
arise  again  until  December  3,  1917  one 
month  prior  to  the  opening  of  the  Third 
Officers'  Training  Camp.  At  that  time  a 
special  committee  which  included  Pro- 
fessors Hardy,  McLaren,  and  Meats  was 
appoiiite,!  from  the  faculty  to  consider  the 
best  method  for  giving  proper  college 
credit  in  the  cases  of  students  leaving  for 
the  National  .Service.  In  the  final  recom- 
mendations students  who  had  seven 
semesters  of  academic  work  credited  to 
them  were  considered  eligible  for  their 
degrees. 

No  other  significant  action  was  taken 
until  six  months  after  the  Armistice.  At 
that  time  the  Faculty  voted  and  the  Board 
of  Trustees  appro\'cd  the  granting  of 
degrees  to  all  seniors  with  seven  semesters 
of  academic  work  who  had  been  discharged 
honorably  from  the  Service.  It  was  also 
voted  to  grant  honorary  degrees  to  men 
who  had  completed  three  college  years 
before  entering  the  armed  forces. 


•Swelling  the  long  list  of  Williams  men 
in  the  nation's  service  are  Thorndike 
Williams  '39,  and  Cordis  M.  Sargent

Wrestlers  Preparing 
For  Lafayette  Opener 

Sophomores     Look     Good 
After      First      Workouts 

With  an  eye  lo  the  forthcoming  srason's 
opener  against  Lafayette  December  19, 
Captain  ;\n  Richmond's  grapplers  are 
settling  down  to  serious  business.  Hard 
ivorkouts  arc  being  held  daily,  with  in- 
formal matches  aiul  tryouts  .scheduled  for 
next    week. 

Although  faced  with  the  problem  of  rc- 
|)lacing  such  cajiable  |)erformers  as  former 
captain  Jake  Earle  and  Pete  Richards, 
Coach  till  Bullock  has  high  hopes  for  a 
successful  season,  provided  all  his  first 
team  men  can  stay  whole.  The  most 
serious  dillicully  as  he  sees  it  is  the  fact 
that  in  each  weight  division  there  is  only 
one  good  wrestler,  which  leaves  the  team 
open  to  sickness  or  injury. 

Captain  Richmond  has  moved  up  this 
year  to  the  128-pound  division,  leaving  his 
former  121 -pound  berth  open  for  Bill 
Imbric,  who  wrestled  for  the  freshiacn 
last  year.  .Sophomore  Bobby  Brown  will 
wrestle  at  13.S,  and  Bob  Derge  seems  to  be 
the  chief  contender  for  the  145-pound 
position.  15,S  is  a  tossup  between  soph- 
omores Shcp  I^oor  and  Herb  Bell,  both  of 
whom  were  on  last  year's  freshman  team. 

In  the  upper  weight  divisions.  Bill 
Klopman,  junior  standout  who  is  at 
present  recovering  from  a  head  injury, 
will  be  at  165  pounds,  with  last  year's 
freshman  captain  Rob  Jones  at  175.  Bob 
Blakney,  who  alternated  last  year  with 
Richards,  has  the  heavyweight  division 
to  himself  at  present.

mil  strictly  iiniateur  critic  found  the  performance,  iii  spite  of  two  definite  Haws, 
very  much  worth  seeing. 

"J"  Pile  first  of  these  weaknesses  was  a  slow 
tempo  in  such  crucial  portions  of  the  play 
as  the  second  scene  of  act  II,  in  which  the 
House  of  C'onnelly  is  on  the  verge  of  total 
collapse.  The  emotional  intensity  and  the 
\'iolence  of  the  speech  here  demand  close 
timing  anil  speed,  .md  the  players  did  not 
(juite  succeed  in  achieving  them.  Indi- 
vidually and  in  more  relaxed  parts  of  the 
play  the  acting  was  a<le(|uate,  often 
excellent.  Mr.  Irving  Herlow  as  Uncle 
Kohcrt  Connelly  mixed  grandiloquence 
and  lechery  in  pro|)er  proportions,  and 
Miss  Barbara  lienedict  did  full  justice  to

of  the  second  act,  moreover,  came  to  life

also  true  that  Paul  Grci'ii's  drama  is  a 
pioneer  play;  it  derives  no  little  atlilecl 
value  from  the  fact.  But  one  must 
remember  that  one  of  the  finest  American

Tke  Little  Foxes,  was  written  on  substan- 
itally  the  same  theme  within  the  same 
decade.     ,\  comparison  is  inevitable,  and

The  House  of  Connelly  must  suffer  from  it. 
The  play  has  dated,  not  too  seriously  but 
perceptibly.  .Such  at  least  is  the  most 
reasonable  explanation  for  its  seeminj;  no 
more  than  interesting  last  night,  where  ten 
years  ago  New  \'ork  audiences  found  it 
enormously  e.\citing,  keeping  it  on  the 
stage  for  a  long  run. 

This  is  not  to  suggest  that  I'aul  (irecn's 
intention  in  the  play  has  been  vitiated  or 
that  many  of  its  values  do  not  persist. 
Writing  of  the  South,  he  has  said,  "In  song 
and  stoiy,  in  history  and  criticism,  in 
sociology  and  economics,  in  surveys  and 
maps  and  tabh  s  and  graphs,  in  thousands

naiue  the  writers  of  America  ha\e  of  recent

nature  of  this  strange  region  we  call  the 
.South  is  to  be  found.  And  the  evils  thai 
fly  up  out  of  it  like  the  wheeling  buzzards 
will  be  finally  driven  oil,  and  the  carrion  of 
ignorance  and  poverty  now  corrupting  the 
body  politic  will  be  cleansed  away 
But  no  matter  what  happens,  whether  the 
ragged  sharecroppers  wind  up  with  hard- 
wood floors,  frigidaires,  a  perennial  cow, 
electric  lights  and  gold  teeth  from  the 
dentist  or  not,  human  drama  will  go  on. 
For  there  is  no  solution  to  life  except  death. 


And  the  only  mysterious  thing  about  the 
South  is  that  it  is  so  full  of  both.  I  don't 
know  why  this  is  so.  Only  those  who 
understand  the  will  of  (iod  and  the  prin- 
ciples of  history  can  explain  it.  For  uie  it 
is  enough  to  say  that  the  material  of  songs, 
poems,  stories,  art,  novels  and  drama  will 
remain  here  as  long  as  men  remain,  in

Donali/  R.  Booz  '42,  president  of  the  Wil-

caravan  of  Williams  men  to  Washington 
last  night,  to  he  present  at  today's  dec- 
laration of  war. 


Two-car  Caravan  Heads  for  Capital;  Inability 
To  Obtain  Tickets  Causes  Furor  in  Jesup 


A  rec|uest  by  Al  James  to  Doc  Phillips' 
last  night  to  accompany  him  to  a  movie  at 
The  Walden  precipitated  a  fi\'e-hoiir 
telephone  debauchery  that  piled  up  a  hill 
equiviilent  to  the  charge  for  a  three-minute 
conversation  with  W.  Churchill,  a  mass 
exodus  of  nine  undergraduates  on  a  mid- 
night dash  to  Washington,  D.  C,  and 
brought  about  strained  relationships  be- 
tween Williams  College  in  general  and 
most  of  the  celebrities  worth  celebrating 
in  the  country. 

After  dinner  last  night  Al  James  met 
Doc  Phillips  in  the  library  at  the  DKE 
House  and  asked,  "Do  you  wanna  go  to 
the  movies?"  "I  can't,"  Phillips  replied, 
"Do  you  want  to  go  to  Montreal?"  James 
countered  with.  "Heck,  no.  But  I  want  to 
gj  to  Washington. " 

Phillips  ugree<l  that  would  be  ni-e,  so 
James  telephoned  his  father  in  New  York, 
who  advised  him  to  contact  the  Hon .  John 
J.  O'Connor,  famed  "purged"  Congress- 
man from  thai  state  to  try  to  secure  tickets 
forth.;  special  session.  Three  times  ihcy 
tried,  but  O'Connor  couldn't  be  found. 

The   second    attempt  was   a  call    from 


Phillips  to  Presitlent  James  P.  Baxter  III 
in  Washington,  who  declared  he  had 
nothing  that  could  be  released,  said 
"Goodnight"  and  hung  up.  Then  Don 
Booz  stepped  in  and  phoned  Max  Lerner, 
tt  ho  suggested  that  they  attempt  to  secure 
press  cards  from  New  England  papers,  or 
call  PM  or  The  Nation  and  see  what  they 
could  do. 

Acting  on  this  suggestion,  Al  Whiting, 
recruited  in  the  interim,  called  the  City 
Editor  of  the  North  Adams  Transcript, 
and  asked  if  they  could  be  their  repre- 
sentatives in  Congress.  They  were  po- 
litely informed  that  that  sort  of  business 
was  handled  adequately  by  AP,  and  that 
a  press  card  from  the  Transcript  might  be 
insufficient. 

Unsuccessful  here,  they  phoned  the 
Managing  Editor  of  PM,  who  unpolitely 
told  them  the  war  was  a  big  thing,  and  not 
to  be  hacked  by  college  newspapers. 

At  this  point  spirits  began  to  wane, 
until  Butts  Whiting  remembered  he  had  a 
friend,  a  Mr.  Glenn  Peiry,  who  was  a  big-

The  grim  reality  of  the  war  struck  closer  lo  the  eiilirc  Wil- 
liams campus  yesterday  when  the  United  Stales  Navy  suffered 
heavy  and  unexpected  losses  in  its  first  encounter  with  ,|apanese 
forces.  The  reverses  met  hy  the  U.  S.  Pacific  forces  aroused  great 
concern  for  several  Williams  men  and  local  residents  who  are 
participating  in  the  fighting  in  Hawaii  and  around  the  Philippines. 

Al  2:28  p.m.  Williams  was  writing  Idlers  home  and  studying. 
Williams  was  returning  from  Charily  Ball  al  Smith  when  the  news 
broke  that  Japan  had  bombed  Pearl  Harbor.  It  was  learned  that 
twenty  Williamslown  boys  and  at  least  si.\  Vi  illiams  graduates 
were  stationed  in  the  fighting  area. 

Immediate  campus  reaction  was  one  of  tense  expectancy. 
At  6:30  p.m.  all  social  unils  on  the  can^pus  were  rocking  with 
such  enthusiastic  comments  as  "We'll  clean  them  in  six  weeks,*" 
and  "  \V  hat  the  hell  do  ihey  think  they're  doing?"  Most  ambitious 
among  the  suggestions  offered  was  that  of  a  grou|>  of  studenls  who 
wire<l  and  attempted  lo  lelej>honc  Presiilcnl  James  P.  Huxler,  .'Jrd 
in  an  effort  to  obtain  passes  into  the  special  session  of  (Congress

Most  likely  of  all  Williams  graduates  lo  have  participate<l  in 
the  day's  fighting  which  started  al  Pearl  Harbor  an<l  (iuam  were

German  Politician 
Who  Fled  Nazism 
Lectures  Tuesday 

Sollmann,  Leading  Figure 
In  Weimar  Republic 
Eluded    Gestapo    in    '33 

F.  Wilhelni  Sollmann,  one  of  the 
original  founders  of  the  German  Weimar 
Republic  and  Secretary  of  the  Interior 
under  Chancellor  Dr.  Stresemann,  has 
been  fighting  the  light  of  democracy  over 
two  decades.  Tomorrow  night  at  7:30 
he  will  speak  in  Jesup  Hall  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Lecture  Committee  on  "Ger- 
many's Battle  Against  the  World." 

Sollmann  comes  to  Williams  from  the 
Pendle  Hill  Graduate  School  for  Religious 
and  Social  studies  as  an  authoritive  eye 
witness  of  the  corruption  of  democracy  in 
Germany.  Statesman,  journalist,  adminis- 
trator, and  educator,  he  saw  Hitler's 
barbarism  crush  the  republic  which  he 
helped  found. 

Militant  Democrat 

Sollmann  inaugurated  his  colorful  and 
hazardous  career  as  a  militant  German 
democrat  in  1911  as  Editor-in-Chief  of  the 
Daily  Rheinische  Zeitung  published  in 
Cologne.  In  the  days  prior  to  the  war  he 
played  an  important  role  in  the  German 
youth  and  labor  movements.  In  1918  he 
became  leader  in  Western  Germany  of  the 
November  Revolution  and  successfully 
held  in  check  the  extremists  of  the  right 
and  left. 

Sollmann  was  one  of  the  signers  of  the 
peace  treaty  and  was  important  in  the 
founding  of  the  now  defunct  Weimar 
Republic.  From  1928  to  1933  he  served 
in  the  Reichstag.  He  was  appointed  to 
the  Committee  on  Foreign  Affairs  as  an 
expert  on  disarmament  and  participated 
in  a  series  of  international  conferences.

When 

press  it  was  impossible  to  ascertain 
whether  or  not  Lieutenant  Christie  and 
Private  Steele  had  been  involved  in  the 
day's  lighting.  Other  Williams  men  sta- 
tioned in  the  ccmibat  area  are  William  T. 
Carleton  '35  and  Robert  I.  Rothschild  '40 
at  Pearl  Harbor,  and  Jay  W.  Martin  '3') 
at  Cavite,  Philippines. 

It  was  reported  to  Thk  Rfcord  that 
the  son  of  swimming  coach  Bob  Muir  was 
stationed  at  Hickam  Field  as  an  aerial 
photographer,  where  350  men  were  report- 
ed killed. 

Robert  W.  Mist  '44  also  reported  to 
The  Recoiib  that  his  brother-in-law  had 
been  a  member  of  the  crew  on  the  U.  S.  S. 
West  Virginia,  reported  sunk  in  the  aerial- 
naval  engagenuiit  at  Pearl  Harbor.  The 
fate  of  Mist's  relative  had  also  not  been 
determined  when  Thk  Recohd  went  lo 
press. 

Faculty  opinion  was  immediately  regis- 
tered— bordering  from  casual  acceptance 
to  complete  surprise.  World  event  prog- 
nosticator  and  campus  political  science 
professor.  Max  Lerner  voiced  his  ideas  as 
"Oh,  It's  begun  has  it?  It's  a  desperate 
act  by  Japan.  It's  a  last  gambling  effort 
to  keep  America  out  of  the  European  war, 
and  was  probably  directed  by  German 
officials.  We  must  never  forget  that 
Nazism  is  the  primary  enemy  of  <mr 
nation.  We  must  see  Japan  only  ,as  a 
part  of  the  undivided  World  War!" 

X'incent  MacD.  Harnett,  Instructor  in 
political  .science,  said  of  the  situation,  "A-* 
mazing, isn't  it?  I  thinklhisprettydehnitely 
substantiates  the  theory  that  they've  been 
stalling  for  time.  Kurusu's  mission  was 
not  bona  fide.  The  Japanese  were  fooling 
us,  and  their  sword-rattling  policies  were 
really  so." 

Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
had  already  learned  of  the  Japanese  attack 
and  was  ready  to  comment  on  the  action. 
"It  doesn't  surprise  nic.  Isn't  this  more 
or  less  what  we  expected?  This  has  been 
on  the  books  for  quite  a  time  and  at  last 
it's  coming  out.  It  is  characteristic  of 
both  the  Asiatic  and  European  enemies

Gfiitli'iiifii,  it   i.s  lu-rc. 

It  i.s  liiMv  vvitli  all  Iho  i'liry  and  lighliiing  that  belong  lo  tli>'  tyranny 
llial  wonl.l  destroy  lis,  that  would  wipe  from  the  face  of  thi.s  earth  the 
defoncy  iiiid  honesty  and  freedom  that  make  life  worth  living. 

It  hii.s  conie  by  the  hack  door,  l)ut  it  lias  come  .surely.  Toilay  we  are 
at   war.     'I'liere  are  no  doiihls. 

W'v  fight  Nazis  and  Nipponese  together,  to  crush  a  revolutionary 
nihilism  that  has  sought  to  corrupt  the  world.  We  fight  them  with  our 
steel  and  our  hloo.l  and  our  lives,  until  we  build  the  union  of  free  peoples 
everywhere  thai  alone  can  guarantee  the  life  wi"  cherish, 

Down  the  road  from  \'ersailles  we  have  come  in  two  short  decades, 
Lo  a  war  more  horrible  and  more  widespread  than  any  man  has  ever 
known.  The  last  time  we  failed,  failed  mi.serably.  The  war  was  won, 
the  world  made  safe  for  deinocracy;  but  the  men  who  inherited  that  world 
made  it  .safe  for  everything  but  democracy:  for  a  national  unrest  from 
which  dictators  might  grow;  for  a  trifling  and  softened  leadershij)  in  our 
denioevacies;  for  the  perpetuation  of  international  .squabbles  and  inter- 
national piracy. 

Two  decades  ago  it  was  another  generation's  war.  This  one  is  ours. 
It  is  ours  lo  do  with  what  we  will,  and  what  we  can.  It  is  ours  to  win; 
to  win  gloriously  or  to  win  with  the  same  fatal  respect  for  international 
iinarchy. 

This  is  our  war  to  ii.se  well.  It  is  our  chance  to  show  the  perpetrators 
of  the  greatest  crime  against  mankind  that  decency  and  honesty  and 
freedom  do  have  guts.  It  is  our  chance  to  translate  that  decency  and 
honesty  and  freeilom  iiuo  an  international  order  with  guts  .so  .strong  that 
this  democratic  way  of  life  shall  ensure  a  world  of  peace  forever.

Letter  to  Editors 


IJecenilier  <),  1941 
lo  llie  lidilor.'.  »/  'I'liio  Kkcoki): 

I  wish  lo  eorrecl  a  statement  which 
appeared  in  your  issue  for  December  5. 
."Xt  the  Round  Table  on  Japanese-Amer- 
ican relations  1  tlid  not  say,  as  reported, 
that  Japan  would  back  down.  What  I 
did  say  was  that  Japan  had  backed  down 
on  previous  (jccasions,  and  I  raised  the 
(|Uestion  whether  it  would  do  so  again. 
There  was  no  substanlial  <lilTerence  of 
opinion  between  I'rofessor  Schunian  and 
myself. 

.As  a  matti't  (jf  fact,  il  seems  to  me  ex- 
tremely unlikeU-  that  Japan  will  back 
down.  The  last  time  this  occurred  was  at 
Ihe  Washington  Conference  of  1921-1922. 
Since  I  hat  lime  Japanese  ambitions  have 
so  expandeil,  and  (heir  success  in  realizing 
these  ambitions  has  been  so  great,  that 
any  hope  of  substantial  concessions  on 
I  heir  part  seems  to  me  in  vain.  I  doubt 
if  the  whole  history  of  diplomacy  would 
show  one  instance  where  a  nation  placed 
as  Japan  now  is  has  abandoned  a  career  of 
contjuest  except  as  the  result  of  military 
defeat.  Moreover,  il  is  no  more  than  a 
i|uestion  of  ihe  U)ss  of  national  prestige. 
It  is  a  (pieslion  of  the  continued  control  of 
Japanese  policy  by  the  present  ruling 
military  cli(|ue.  llial  I  hey  should  confess 
I'ailure  by  abamloning  their  polic\-  of 
.iggression  which  Secretary  Hull  has  so 
r(]un(!ly  condenined  seems  to  me  ipiite 
unthinkable.  I  am,  therefore,  agreed  with 
Professor  Schunian  I  hat  at  some  lime  or 
other  the  Japanese  government  will  feel 
compelled  lo  resort  lo  force.  The  only 
other  possibility,  as  I  see  it,  is  that  if 
(iermany  should  be  <lefeated  before  the 
Japanese  make  up  their  nii|nds  to  act, 
they  would  be  compelled  lo  accept  such  a 
solution  of  the  Far  liastiTii  (piestion  as  the 
United  States  and  Great  Britain  might 
dictate.  In  view  of  the  strength  of  Ger- 
many and  the  steadily  worsening  position 
of  Japan  this  seems  to  me  a  very  remote 
possibility.

WASHINGTON  TRIP 

(Continued  from  page  U 

wig  on  the  New  York  Sun.  Encouraged, 
the  menangcric  of  journalists,  whose 
numbers  had  grown  to  about  twenty  by 
this  time,  stood  by  while  Whiting  called 
Washington  again.  The  office  was  closed, 
so  he  told  the  operator  to  ring  his  home. 
Mr.  Perry  wasn't  in,  but  his  wife  .said  she 


had  spoken  to  him  at  the  White  House, 
and  that  perhaps  he  could  be  reached 
there.  Whiting  began  to  tremble.  Would- 
n't it  be  better  if  she  phoned  him  there,  and 
then  he  called  back?  Whiting  promised 
a  bottle  of  champagne  as  [he  reward  of 
success,  but  iVlrs.  Perry  persisted.  .So  he 
broke  the  connection,  and  asked  the 
operator  to  ring  "the — the-  White  House 
in  Washington,  D.  C." 

The  line  was  busy.  Ten  minutes  later 
the  iihone  rang,  and  nerves  already  frayed, 
snapped.  Fred  Rudolph  screamed,  "It's 
the  President."  Hut  it  was  only  a  call  foi 
Mert  O'Dell.  Then  Washington  came 
through.  Mr.  Perry  wasn't  in;  he'd  just 
stepped  out  for  a  cup  of  coffee.  Whiting 
then  instructed  the  Western  Union  boy  to 
deliver  the  following  message: 

"liutler  Whiting,  Jr.  iS:  Co.  is  coming  to 
Washington  tomorrow  to  try  to  get  into 
Congress.  He  hopes  Mr.  Perry  will  give 
him  all  possible  assistance." 

After  this,  'I'he  Recoud  office  became 
the  scene  for  a  council  of  war.  Doc 
Phillips  was  the  first  to  develop  cold  feet, 
declaring  it  seemed  silly  to  travel  all  that 
way  just  to  see  "some  people."  Anyway 
they  weren't  sure  they  could  even  get  in. 
Rudol|)h  shouted  again,  "Isn't  there 
something  we  can  do  to  postpone  this 
declaration  M  war?"  In  the  middle  .jf 
the  confab  the  conversation  digressed  into 
nautical  science  and  the  amount  of  money 
necessary  to  build  a  decent  battleship. 
Whiting  broke  the  deadlock  by  leaving  to 
cash  a  check. 

Hooz  and  Cantwell  began  counting 
noses  of  those  who  wanted  to  go.  F^very- 
one  was  uncertain  until  Rudolph  quietly 
asked  if  anyone  hail  tried  Scud  Parker  '41, 
secretary  to  a  Senator  from  Connecticut. 
Wils  Prophet  snatched  up  the  phone, 
reached  Parker  and  ,tsked  what  he  could 
do.  Parker  said  he  couldn't  get  tickets 
for  the  joint  meeting,  but  declared  he 
could  procure  them  for  the  following 
.Senatorial  discussion. 

That  was  enough;  eight  ambitious 
undergraduates  snatched  up  toothbrush 
and  comb  and  piled  into  two  automobiles. 
At  the  last  report  those  making  the  trip: 
Currie  lirewcr,  Bill  Cantwell,  Don  Booz, 
Doc  Phillips,  Butts  Whiting,  Al  Whiting, 
Gordon  Getsinger,  Wils  Prophet,  and  Bob 
Griggs. 

An  anti-climactic  note  was  furnished  by 
the  discovery  two  hours  after  the  caravan 
had  departed  that  Whitney  Wooflruff,  who 
had  spoken  to  At  James  at  dinner  and 
originated  the  idea,  was  left  in  the  DKE 
library  waiting  for  the  plans  to  materialize. 


the  debate  against  Princeton  on  ihe 
subject  Resolved,  Thai  the  FVcleral 
Government  Should  be  Allowed  to  Regu- 
late Labor,  scheduled  for  last  Saturdax 
afternoon,  failed  to  materialize  when  the 
Tiger  team  failed  lo  appear  for  ihe  .second 
successive  year. 

Officials  of  the  Franklin  Count>'  Probate 
Court  in  Greeniicld  have  disclosed  thai 
residual  bequests  from  the  will  of  the  late 
Mrs.  Fanny  ii.  ,S.  Peabody  amounting  to 
$254,762,  may  be  divided  betwe;-n  Wil- 
liams College  and  Bryn  Mawr  College. 
Mrs.  Peabody,  a  resident  of  Greenfield, 
was  not  known  to  have  hati  any  ties  with 
either  institution  other  than  many  friends 
among  both  alumni  groups. 


In  an  editorial  urging  thai  the  women 
o£  America  "who  from  the  lirsl  have  been 
the  outspoken  advocates  of  war,  should 
not  be  kept  out  of  ihi'  trenches"  the  Vale 
News  cited  work  done  by  the  opposite  sex 
in  England.  Il  pointed  out  how  much 
destruction  one  woman  in  an  autoniobih' 
of  less  than  three  tons  can  do  on  the 
Merritt  Parkwa\-  in  an  elTort  to  show^  the 
po.ssibililies  of  "combining  a  woman  and 
a  thirtv  Ion  lank".

DRAFTEES 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
Council  on  Etiucation  is  sending  a  supple- 
mentary form  to  colleges  and  universities 
to  procure  three  addilional  t\pes  of  in- 
formation: (1)  an  estimate  of  the  nundier 
of  men  who  did  not  return,  but  who  prob- 
ably would  have  returned  to  college  this 
fall  if  the\-  could  have  been  assured  thai 
the  year's  work  would  not  be  interrupted 
by  induction;  (2)  an  estimate  of  the 
number  who  have  left  college  since  the 
beginning  of  the  academic  year  because 
they  have  been  inducted  or  ha\'e  volun- 
teered; and  (3)  specific  cases  of  men  in- 
ducted during  the  year  who  would  other- 
wise have  received  degrees  in  February  or 
June,   1942. 

This  informal  ion  is  designed  to  aid  ihe 
Council's  representation  to  the  Selective 
Service  lleadc|uarters  for  a  change  in 
administrative  procedure  and  to  the  Senate 
Militar\'  Afl'airs  Committee  on  behalf  of 
S.  1504. 


WAR

we  are  lighting.     I  am  glad  the>-  started 
it  off." 

Arthur  11.  Buffinton,  a.ssociate  professor 
o  history,  was  slightly  surprised  at  the 
suddeness  of  the  Japanese  action.  Said 
he  "I  didn't  expect  it  so  soon."  And 
Walter  W.  McLaren,  Walter  Brough  Pro- 
fessor of  economics,  ejaculated,  "You  don't 
mean  it?  The  war  is  on!  I  didn'l  expect 
it  despite  current  discussion." 

At  the  Sunday  night  chapel,  Rev.  A. 
Grant  Noble,  college  chaplain  prayed  for 
men  of  government  that  they  might  govern 
with  wisdom  for  a  "truer  and  more  abiding 
order,"  while  Vesper's  preacher.  Rev. 
Boynton  Merrill  of  West  Newton  asked 
that  men  during  war  time  "think  spa- 
ciously, live  graciously,  and  love  good 
works." 

Prof.  Paul  Birdsall,  professor  of  history, 
felt  that  the  attack  was  "inevitable,"  and 
he  added  "it  is  good  they  attacked  us  to 
unify  American  public  opinion."  In 
analysing  Ihe  Japanese  action,  Mr.  Bird- 
sall did  believe  it  "incredibly  fantastic" 
and  he  had  not  thought  the  Japanese 
would  make  a  "direct  attack."  I  thought 
they  would  edge  into  I  hailand  but  such  a 
drastic  move  is  beyond  belief,"  he  added.

Lerner,  Walsh,  Sweezy  See  Americas  War 
Effort  Hampered  by  Smith  Anti-Strike  Bill 


Thrci'    Williams   professors,   a   polilical'l' 
scientist,  anil  two  economists,  see  a  bleak 
luluie  for  America's  efTectiveness  in  the 
lij>lil  aKiiinst    Hitler  if  the  Senate  passes 
I  he  Smith  anti-strike  bill. 

Drs.  Max  I.erner,  Kaynionil  Walsh, 
,in(l  Alan  Swec/.y  agree  that  the  Smith 
labor  measure  will  mean:  (1)  a  (leadeninj; 
blow  to  labor  morale,  (2)  a  serious  ob- 
^1  ruction  of  defense  production,  and  (3) 
I  stimulation  of  national  disunity  anil 
"America  First"  sentiment.  The  sweep- 
Inn  Smith  anti-strike  legislation  places 
.1  ban  on  orKanizalion  and  jurisdictitmal 
■itrikes,  and  also  on  strikes  where  the  clo.sed 
^hop  is  the  issue.  It  has  been  passed  in 
1  he  House  and  is  currently  under  consider- 
.ilion  on  the  Senate  floor. 

Labor  Bears  Brunt 

PriifessorLernerfeels  that  since  labor  must 
hear  the  principal  burden  of  the  war,  any 
-erious  l)low  to  its  morale  might  have  ilis- 
.istrous  consequences  in  terms  of  a  demo- 
iratic  victory.  The  problem,  as  he  sees  it, 
IS  whether  the  ordinary  man  can  get  a 
lijihtinn  faith  in  democracy  and  its  war, 
whether  he  feels  he  has  a  stake  In  what 
he  is  called  on  to  defend,  and  whether  he 
leels  he  has  hail  a  share  in  building  policy. 

I.crner  views  repressive  labor  legislation 
hke  the  Sniilh  bill  as  fatal  to  "all  the  work 
done  in  the  C.l.O.  to  convince  them  of 
I  he  genuineness  of  the  democratic  intent 
.if  the  administration."  He  H"i's  alonn 
solidly  with  Dorothy  'Phompson  in  her 
■.latenienl:  "No  nation  can  wage  a  two- 
Iront  war  —  one  against  Hitler  and  one 
, (gainst  labor."

Demand  a   Squash   Racket 
Strung  with  Gut 


Dr.  Walsh,  lecturer  in  economics,  feels 
that  the  Smith  bill  willresuUinapniduelion 
slow-down  and  will  not  solve  the  problem 
of  .strike.  The  only  way  to  do  this  is  lo 
keep  an  atmosphere  of  negotiation  and 
mediation  In  the  labor  situation— not  one 
of  force  and  coercion.  Walsh  advocates 
establishment  b\'  law  of  the  present  nation- 
al machinery  as  a  possible  solution  lo  the 
problem. 

In  his  stalinienl  for  Tun  Kkioiid  on 
the  motives  behind  the  Smith  anti-strike 
measure,  Walsh  declared,  "I'he  effect  on 
labor  morale  of  this  bill  would  be  so 
disastrous  as  to  make  me  think  that  it  was 
designed  for  the  express  purpose  of  under- 
mining labor  morale."  Walsh  anticipates 
a  sharp  rise  in  John  L.  Lewis'  stock  if 
the  Smith  bill  is  passed  by  the  Senate. 
He  feels  that  under  such  circumstances, 
"in  such  an  atmosphere  of  force,"  it  is 
very  doubtful  that  the  administration  will 
ever  "lie  able  to  get  us  into  the  war." 
"America  First  Meat" 

Assistant  Professor  Sweez\-  sees  the 
Smith  bill  as  "meat  for  America  First" 
and  "one  of  the  best  ways  to  hold  up 
produclion."  Such  legislation  will  only 
result  in  more  strikes  and  iiUerveiuionist 
disaffection.  Sweezy  anticipates  "out- 
bursts of  violence"  and  some  "very 
nasty  situations"  if  the  bill  is  passed  and 
the  government  tries  to  enforce  it  on 
recalcitrant  unions.

SOLLMANN 


(Continued  from  paiie  1) 
laliiie  .Sollmann  also  found  time  lo  edit  a 
string  of  liberal  newspapers  In  the  Rhine- 
land  and  contribute  to  the  development 
of  his  country's  educational  facilities.  In 
the  j)ost  war  period  he  was  a  mendier  of 
the  Executive  Hoard  of  the  National 
I'Vderation  for  Adult  ICilucation,  co- 
founder  of  the  rniversit\"  of  Cologne  and 
the  Karl  Schurz  Society.  As  early  as  192.S 
.Sollmann  showed  an  active  interest  in 
world  peace  and  world  order.  At  that 
time  he  was  vice-president  of  llu-  Societ>' 
for  Kuropean  Kedei'ation  and  a  member  of 
the  Interparliamentarian  I'nion. 

Sollniann  was  number  three  man  in  the 
C'.erman  Republic  of  192.?  as  Secietary  of 
the  Interior  to  Stresemann.  It  was  In 
1923  also  that  he  waged  his  passive  resis- 
tance campaign  against  Fi'ench  efforts  lo 
alienate  the  Rhineland  fiom  Gernian\ . 
His  tactics  were  a  Western  forerunner  of 
Ciandhi's  non-violenl  resistance  against 
the  liritish  in  India. 

Escapes  From  Nazism 

Sollmann  saw  the  Nazis  murder  Cierman 
democracy.  He  is  oidy  too  familiar  with 
Hitler's  ruthless  terrorism.  In  1933, 
shortly  after  being  elected  to  the  Reichstag 
for  his  eighth  term,  the  distinguished 
German  statesman  was  attacked,  brutally 
beaten,  and  tortured  by  Hitler's  slorm 
troopers.  Somehow  he  managed  a  mirac- 
ulous escape  to  the  Saar  territory,  then 
under  a  League  mandate.  He  continued 
his  vigorous  resistance  against  Nazism  as 
editor  of  the  Daily  Deutsche  Freihril  until 
Hitler  won  the  Saar  in  the  I93,S  plebiscite. 
Sollmann  managed  another  escape  under 
desperate  circumstances. 

As  an  Ami'rlcan  resident  since  ."^pril 
1937  Wilhelm  Sollmann  has  continued  in 
his  dedication  to  the  cause  of  democrac\". 
He  has  helped  organize  Loyal  Americans 
of  German  Descent,  lectures  widel\-.  and 
is  active  in  a  number  of  political  and 
religious  groups.  His  most  recent  publi- 
cation was  a  iNovember  pamphlet  on 
"Religion  and  Politics". 

There  is  a  possibility  that  .Sollmann  nia\ 
participate  with  Professor  Max  Lerner  in 
an  afternoon  round  table  preceding  his 
scheduled  address  of  the  evening.

Captains  Wils  Barnes  and  llunihy  (Juin-

Saturday . 

Revamped  Offenae 

The  revamped  offense  finds  Harnes  as 
the  only  pivot  man,  while  forwards  l?ob 
Wallace  and  Jack  llarter  play  along  the 
sides  of  the  court.  Ouintajia  and  Roy 
Tolles  complete  the  (piintet  at  the  gnard 
posts,  well  outside  the  zone  (U'fensc.  Fast 
passing  from  one  side  of  the  floor  to  the 
other  has  been  the  keynote  to  get  the 
enemy  out  of  posilion. 

Harnes  is  making  full  use  of  this  year's 
addition  to  the  rulebook  wliich  allows  a 
player  to  be  in  [; jssession  of  the  b^ll  within 
the  keyhole,  but  beyond  the  foul  line,  as 
long  as  he  wants.  This  rule  had  formerly 
been  passed  to  do  away  with  "bucket 
plays,"  the  use  of  a  tall  man  under  the 
hoop  to  convert  most  of  the  tallies. 

Middlebury  Game 

Scrimmages  last  week  with  the  second 
team  and  the  yearling  i|uintet  have  found 
the  lirsl  five  far  from  miil-season  form. 
However,  th  ■  passing  and  shooting  have 
improved  vastly,  and  Burnett  expects  his 
squad  to  be  in  toi)-(liglit  condition  against 
the  Panthers.  Last  year  Krankie  Hush's 
outfit  rolled  over  the  X'crniontcrs  by  a 
44-.i2  count. 

Primary  concern  of  the  coach  and 
captains  now  is  to  whip  the  second  team 
into  shape.  With  f.nir  tilts  before  Christ- 
mas, and  tweh'e  of  the  seventeen  scliedided 
coidlicts  oil  the  road,  the  reser\'e  strength 
of  the  s(|uad  will  be  a  large  factor  in  the 
success  of  the  season.  'l"he  sec<:)n(l  five  at 
present  is  made  up  of  four  ine.\|)erienced 
sophomori's  and  a  jimior  up  from  last 
year's  junior  varsit> . 

Purple   Key   Society 
Gets  Into  High  Gear 

I'nrple  Key  jiresident  Charles  Tower 
indicated  this  week  that  the  organization 
of  varsity  sports  managers  may  help  the 
Outing  Club  in  planning  the  l'M2  Winter 
Carnival,  which  comes  after  Midyear 
exams.  No  conclusive  steps  have  yet 
been  taken  in  this  direction,  however. 

The  Purple  Key  is  taking  an  active  part 
in  the  Athletic  Ollice  this  year,  through  its 
secretary,  Craig  Huff  '42,  who  is  acting 
as  Mr.  Osterhout's  assistant.  Previously 
this  position,  filled  by  Miles  Fox  '40  last 
year,  has  never  been  hold  by  an  imder- 
graduate. 

The  association  of  managers,  formed  last 
year,  has  been  granted  complete  control 
over  all  managers  by  the  Undergraduate 
Council.  This  power  includes  the  removal 
of  incompetant  managers,  the  filling  of  any 
vacancies,  and  settling  of  all  problems  in 
the  managerial  line. 


.\lthough  the  com|)etitive  ilebnls  of  all"** 
freshman  si)orts  do  not  take  place  until 
after  the  (,'hristmas  recess,  many  of  the 
teams  have  advanceil  through  the  con- 
ditioning stage,  and  are  conceiUrating  on 
teamwork  and  individual  play,  as  their 
sports  demand. 

Hockey  Handicapped 

.-\  notable  exception  to  this  statement  is 
Whoops  Snively's  hockey  outfit.  Ilaiuli- 
ca|)|)ed  by  the  failure  of  ice  to  appear  on 
either  Hog  Pond  or  the  Cole  Field  Kink, 
they  have  been  holding  chalk  ilrills  in 
I  iopkiiis  I  lall.  Whoops  feels,  however, 
that  ice  is  due  this  week,  and  w  ill  be  ready 
to  begin  i)iactice  the  moment  it  does. 

PlaTis  are  to  let  freshmen  use  the  pond 
for  a  «eek  before  the>'  are  mo\ed  over  to 
the  rink.  This  will  give  them  a  chance 
to  toughen  up  weak  ankles  and  wrists  be- 
fore starting  scrinnnages.  Prep-school 
captains  Al  Lincoln  of  llotchkiss  and 
Phil  Smith  of  Hrooklyn  Prep  head  a 
thirty-five  man  turnout. 

Basketball   Squad    Cut 

On  the  other  hand  the  Freshman  basket- 
ball squad  has  been  rapidly  developing, 
and  has  now  undergone  its  final  cut.  The 
sixteen  men  who  survived  are  concen- 
trating on  plays  in  which  their  earlier 
shooting  and  ball-handling  drills  stand 
them  in  good  stead.  .\  Rhode  Island 
State  type  of  play,  with  defensive  pressure 
all  over  the  floor,  and  quick  breaks,  is 
emjihasized. 

The  varsity  fi\e  found  the  fast-breaking 
freshman  attack  hard  to  handle  last 
Thursday,  and  were  pushed  all  the  way  b\- 
the   yearlings.     Showing   up    particularly 

Indoor   Track   Team 
Depends  on  Veterans 

Weakened  by  the  departure  of  Captain 
Pete  Parish  and  Mill  X'ietor  '41  and  Hill 
McClelland,  Pete  Van  Cott,  and  Ralph 
Reilly  '43,  who  have  joined  the  Services 
of  the  United  States  C.overnntent,  Coach 
Tony  Plansky  sees  his  indoor  track  team, 
as  "just  fair." 

In  the  nuiin  event,  the  mile  relay,  Coach 
Plansky  will  have  to  rel\-  heavily  on 
veterans  Warner  Peck  and  Brew 
Chapman.  In  addition  to  Peck  and 
Chapman,  Plansky  looks  to  Juniors  Paul 
He|)pes,  Howard  Spring,  and  Charlie 
Keeves  to  fill  the  two  remaining  positions. 

Sophomores  ImI  lilanchfield  and  John 
Neilson  shotdd  de\elop  during  the  season. 
Neilson,  star  freshman  harrier  last  year, 
has  been  slow  in  shaping  up  this  year. 
Fd  Sjiaeth,  training  for  the  50-yard  dash, 
will  probably  fill  that  role  this  season. 

Coach  Plansky  plans  to  enter  his  team 
in  the  Knights  of  Columbus  tyames  and 
the  Boston  A.  A.  Games  in  Boston,  and, 
if  it  shows  enough  promise,  in  the  Millrose 
and  1.  C.  4A  Games  in  Madison  Scjuare 
Garden,  New  York  City.

and  Frank  Touhey.  This  is  a  possible

Andy  Knox  ajul  Jolnnu  Brown. 
Prince  Meet 

Bob  Muir's  tankmen  are  begimiing  to 
shape  up,  and  further  light  will  be  shed  on 
the  situation  by  this  week's  Prince  Meet, 
in  which  Bob  expects  to  see  the  50-yard 
free  style  mark  go  by  the  boards.  This 
scpiad  has  no  individual  stars  of  the 
calibre  of  Tommy  Creede  or  Jim  l.aMent, 
but  is  a  well-balanced  grou]).  Muir  will 
be  forced  to  shift  some  of  his  dashmen  to 
the  longer  distances,  as  these  events  are 
weak. 

Kd  Bullock's  grapplers  are  still  working 
on  fundamentals,  and  pounds  continue  to 
drop  off  his  twentyfi\e  man  squad. 
The  heavier  divisions  are  strong  this  year, 
and  football  co-captain  .\rt  \'or.\s  is  rapid- 
ly developing  into  a  capable  man  for  the 
unlimited  division  in  this,  his  first  season. 
Squashmen  Inexperienced 

Although  the  '45  Sipiash  team  is  the 
least  experienced  freshman  squad.  Coach 
Clarence  Chaffee  declares  there  are  dcfi- 
inte  potentialities.  Most  of  the  candidates 
are  several  months  or  a  year  away,  and 
they  lack  the  all-important  competitive 
experience  which  is  so  vital  on  the  s(iuash 
court.  Heading  an  active  ladder  is  Bud 
Fdwards,  and  behind  him  are  Bart  \'an 
Mesdag,  Buzz  Starring,  Art  Howe,  and 
Free  Boynton.  Ted  Lewis  and  Tom 
Hoover  have  chances  of  breaking  into  this 
first  five.

English  Miracle  Play 
Scheduled  for  A.  M.  T. 

The  Second  Shepherd's  Play,  se- 
mester |)roject  of  the  Art  of  the 
Theatre  course,  will  be  presented  in 
the  Adams  Memorial  Theatre  at 
5:00  p.m.  on  the  night  of  December 
17.  This  third  annual  Christmas 
production  of  the  Art  of  the  Theatre 
course  is  open  to  the  public,  admission 
free. 

The  one-act  "modern  interpreta- 
tion of  a  medieval  farce  which  com- 
bines light  huiuor  with  the  story  of  the 
Nativity,"  is  being  produced  entirely 
by  the  Art  of  the  Theatre  course 
under  the  direction  of  Max  Flowers 
and  James  Michael.  Every  member 
of  the  course  has  some  function,  as  a 
part  of  either  the  cast  or  technical 
crew. 


Seriously  handicapped  by  the  loss  of  its 
coach  and  Captain-elect  lilliott  Bates,  the 
varsity  fencing  team  enters  the  coming 
campaign  with  the  bo|)e  to  regain  the  Little 
Three  title  it  lost  last  season.  Of  the 
lettenncn  on  last  winter's  scpiad,  only 
Juniors  Randy  Kraft  aiul  lla\s  Downe 
return  for  action. 

The  brunt  of  the  load  for  carrying  the 
team  will  fall  on  the  shouhlers  of  a  group  of 
eight  sophomores,  graduates  from  last 
season's  freshman  group. 

Kraft,  who  has  been  elected  captain,  with 
sophomores  Mank  Hunter,  Bud  Mohr,  and 
Jack  Wilson  will  comprise  the  sabre  division, 
while  Bowne  will  lead  the  foils  with 
sophomores  Hud  Bailyn,  Gordon  Dickey, 
Hank  Niemitz,  and  Milt  Prigoff  to  support 
him.  The  epce  should  be  handily  taken 
care  of  by  PrigolT  and  Larry  Slade. 

Last  winter's  loss  of  the  Little  Three 
title  and  record  of  one  win,  three  defeats 
combines  with  the  absence  of  foil  and  epee 
diamps,  Captain  Myles  Burford  '41  and 
Bates  to  make  the  road  ahead  a  rocky  one 
for  the  fencers.  Despite  these  obstacles, 
Kraft  feels  the  team  has  the  spirit  to  come 
through. 


Badminton  Club  Joins 
Intercollegiate   League 

Schedules     Five     Matches 
As  Third  Season   Opens 

ICntering  its  third  year  of  competitive 
sport,  the  Williams  Badminton  CInl)  has 
become  a  member  of  the  newly-formi'd 
ICastern  Intercollegiate  Badminton  Asso- 
ciation, which  includes  Vale,  Princeton, 
Colmnhia,  Pennsylvania  and  Lehigh. 
The  five-game  schedule  of  the  club  with 
teams  in  the  league  will  be  augmented  by 
two  association-sponsored  invitation  tourn- 
aments in  March,  one  at  ^'ale  and  the 
other  at  Penn. 

Until  two  weeks  before  midyear  exams, 
prospective  members  of  the  Williams  team 
will  practice  in  PT  sections.  At  that 
time  a  tournament  will  be  heUI  from  which 
a  ladder  of  fifteen  players  ran  lie  formed. 
The  first  six  men  on  the  ladder  will  auto- 
matically represent  the  club  in  matches. 

As  yet  unrecognized  by  the  Athletic 
.'\ssociation,  the  mendiers  of  the  Badmin- 
ton Clul)  ronduct  the  meets  at  their  own 
o\]iense  ,111(1  responsibility;  Boh  Buck  '44 
represents  the  Williams  group  as  a  member 
of  the  executive  committee  of  the  inter- 
collegiate association. 

Losing  only  to  Princeton  in  the  matches 
scheduled  last  se.ison,  the  team  has 
veterans  Bill  WulfflelT  '42,  Tom  Blair  and 
Ted  Richardson  '4.*,  and  Buck  and  Al 
Maulsby  '44,  to  draw  on  for  this  year's 
s(|uad.  Since  badminton  is  an  unorganized 
sport,  freshmen  are  eligible  for  the  sipiad.

Invasion  of  Middlebury 
Tonight;  Faces  Midget 
U.  of  V.  Club  Saturday 

Co-Captains  Humby  Quintana  and  Wils 
Harm's  lead  the  Purple  courtnien  into 
II  lion  tonight  in  the  season's  ojiener  at 
Mkldleljury  when  they  attempt  to  twist 
I  111-  Panther's  tail  for  (he  sixth  straight 
liison.  Tomorrow  the  quintet  winds  up 
iiN  Green  Mountain  tour  by  invading  the 
[  1  niversity  of  Vermont  at  Burlington. 

Itowned   47-31    by    M.    I.   T.    in   their 

liiiilial  tilt  last  week,  the  Panthers  should 

iKit  be  considered  too  lightl>',  for  they  have 

I  he  advantage  of   playing   on  their  own 

n.irrow  floor.     Coach  Ben  Beck  will  open 

I  with    veterans    Bill    Ouiniette   and    Bob 

Adsit  at  the   guards.     Ouiniette    will  bo 

rrnienibered    for   his    four    long,    looping 

I  baskets    against    the    Purple    last    year. 

I  Bishop,  Laphani,  and  Wright  will  also  be 

ill  (here  at  the  opening  whistle. 

High  Scoring  Krauszer  Gone 

Nick    Krau.szer,    last   season's    captain 

.iiid  center,  will  be  missing  from  the  Blue 

line-up  for  the  first  time  in  three  years. 

I  In  three  engagements  against  the  Eplis  he 

iinassed  a  total  of  thirty-two  points. 

Coach  Dale  Burnett  will  start  the  same 

line  velerans  who  have  been  drilling  to- 

lt:e(lier  for  three  weeks.     Wils  Barnes  will 

I  line  up  at  one  of  the  forwards,  hut  on  the 

nlTense  he  will  take  over  the  pivot  slot. 

|.\  year  ago  the  co-captain  tallied   fifteen 

Ipciinls  in  the  44-32  defeat  of  the  Panthers. 

ToUes,  Harter  at  Forwards 

Ko>'  'I'olles  and  Jack  Harter  are  slated 

liii  ix'rforni  at  the  forward  posts,  although 

Tl'olks  will  probably  jump  at  the  opening 

liip-ofT.     Harter,    high    scorer    in    several 

iKanies  last  year,  has  been  having  difTiculU' 

linding  his  eye  in  practice,     yuinlana  and 

|ltnb   Wallace   round   out   the  (|uintet  as 

guardians  of  the  back  court. 

The  offensive  push  of  the  team  has  been 
i.ipidly  rounding  into  form,  although 
hi'iiight  will  be  the  first  real  test.  Deten- 
j-ively  the  five  has  at  times  looked  very 
fagged,  but  according  to  Barnes  this  is 
Inostly  because  they  have  been  loafing  in 
|)iartice. 

Reserve  Strength  Lacking 

back   of   experienced    reserve  strength 

ill  seriously  handicap  the  hoopsters,  for 

liiirnett  cannot  hope  to  rely  solely  on  his 

llarters  during  the  entire  tilt.     None  of 

llie  substitutes  making  the  trip  have  ever 

in  act  ion  in  a  varsity  encounter.     .Stand- 

I'uls  in   this  group  are  .sophomores   Don 

•iiulsay,  John  Bridgewater,  Monk  Stanley 

hiid    Dick    King.     With   an    eye   to   the 

[ill lire,    Burnett   will   probably  use   them 

lieely  in  relief  roles. 

Coach  Fuzzy  Evans  of  the  Catamounts 
Ivill  probably  lead  off  with  Captain  Red 
^Miite  and  veteran  Paul  Pullinen  at 
f!iiards.  Dick  Kipp,  in  his  first  season  of 
arsity  play,  will  hold  down  the  center 
lierth,  while  Bob  Dohcrty  and  Mih 
lufnian,  both  letter  winners,  will  start 
ai  forwards.  Sadly  lacking  in  height,  this 
liuintet  has  built  its  offense  around  a  fast 
I'leaking  attack.

D.  Phi,  D.U.  Students 

I'ilching  cash  from  under  the  noses  of 
llieping  scholars,  a  light-fingered  night 
jiawk  made  away  with  some  eighty  odd

U  bills,  coins,  and  railroad  tickets  at  the

Suffering  the  greatest  loss  was  Kichard

SIS  railroad  ticket.  Other  members  of 
I'le  Delta  Phi  House  lost  about  $4,S,  while

Sollmann  Stresses 
Democratic  Ideals 

German  Expatriate  ;Say8 
Democracies  Will  Win 
by      Increasing      Morale 

At  a  time  when  the  realities  of  Japanese 
aggression  arc  pressing  on  the  American 
mind,  K.  WilhclinSollniann,formermembcr 
of  the  German  Reichstag  and  a  champion 
of  tiemocracy  for  over  twenty  years, 
attempted  last  Tuesday  to  re-focus  atten- 
tion on  the  "fight  between  Berlin  and 
Washington." 

Speaking  before  approximately  200 
persons  in  Jesiip  Hall,  Mr.  .Sollmann  rc- 
viewx'd  the  causes  for  German  successes, 
outlined  a  program  of  action  for  the  United 
States,  and  predicted  eventual  defeat  for 
Berlin  and  Tokio.  Echoing  the  sentiments 
of  Louis  Fischer,  who  spoke  in  Williams- 
town  a  month  ago,  the  (^"lerman  expatriate 
predicted  that  "the  twentieth  century  will 
be  an  American  century,"  and  placed  the 
responsibility  for  the  defeat  of  the  .'Kxis 
powers  squarely  on  the  United  States. 

Germany,  he  said,  is  the  only  country 
which  has  clearly  defined  its  goal,  and 
demonstrated  its  ability  to  achieve  that 
goal.  If  the  democracies  are  to  rid  the 
world  of  the  tyranny  of  Nazism  they  must 
offer  the  subject  peoples  of  Europe  some- 
thing more  than  the  defeat  of  Hitler.

Only  Williams  Student  at  Declaration 
Of  War  Gives  Eye -Witness  Account 


Jiy   CUBiiiE  L.  Brewer  '44_ 


Within  the  space  of  twelve  hours  on  December  8,  1941,  I  traveled  from  the 
Williams  Record  office  to  the  lobby  of  the  House  of  Representatives  building  in 
Washington,  D.  C.  * 

The  transformation  almost  overwhelm- 
ed me,  for  no  sooner  had  1  flashed  my 
special  pass  in  the  face  of  the  fifth  capitol 
policeman   who   had  accosted   nie  at  the 


door  of  the  House  of  Representatives 
building  than  1  found  myself  face  to  face 
with  General  George  C.  Marshall,  Admiral 
Stark,  and  Secretary  of  War  Stimson. 
Oct  Ticket  From  Rep.  Gamble 
Three  hours  before  I  gapi^d  at  this  dis- 
tinguished assemblage,  I  was  one  of  ten 
frenzied  Williams  men  in  search  of  a 
Congressman  who  woukl  give  away  his  one 
ticket  of  admittance  to  the  joint  session  of 
the  House  of  Representatives  and  the 
Senate.  I  obtained  my  pass  from  Repre- 
sentative Ralph  Gamble  of  the  twenty- 
third  election  district  in  New  York.  Mr. 
Gamble  arrived  fronj  New  York  at  eleven 
o'clock  that  morning  to  find  Butler 
Whiting  '44  and  myself  waiting  patiently 
in  his  oflice.  Another  gentleman,  a  voter 
from  the  same  district,  was  also  there  to 
procure  Gamble's  pass.  Displaying  wis- 
dom worthy  of  Solomon,  the  Represent- 
ative declared  that  the  only  fair  way  to 
decide  which  of  us  could  have  the  pass  was 


to  flip  coins,  the  odd  man  receiving  the 
treasured  piece  of  pasteboard.     I  won. 
No  Signs  of  Hysteria 

In  the  lobby  there  was  no  sign  of 
hysteria  or  even  of  undue  excitement. 
The  crowd,  and  the  government  officials 
too,  appeared  rather  relaxed,  as  if  a  great 
load  had  been  taken  off  their  minds. 
They  were,  of  course,  fully  aware  of  the 
fact  that  the  United  .States  was  engaged  in 
a  struggle  with  an  adversary  grossly  under- 
estimated —  in  military  strength  and 
treachery. 

Secret  Service  on  Guard 

Secret  Service  men,  and  special  police 
were  literally  "a  dime  a  dozen".  I  hiid 
shown  my  pass  to  several  police  before  I 
could  enter  the  building  but  even  after 
I  entered  the  door  I  was  under  observation 
at  all  times. 

President  Roosavslt  Arrives 

The  greatest  moment  of  the  perfor- 
mance came  not  when  the  President  had 
delivered  his  address  to  Congress,  but 
when  Mr.  Roosevelt  entered  the  chamber 
to  speak.

Baxter,   Newhall 

Messages  on  War 


In  II  jiimmeit  Tlwmpsiiii  Memorial 
Chapel  last  Monday  noon,  Willuims  under- 
graduotes  heard  Acting  President  Richard 
A.  Neu'liult  read  a  message  to  the  college 
from  President  James  I'.  Baxter,  3rd.  Dr. 
Newhall  then  addressed  the  capacity 
audience,  reminditig  undergraduates  of 
Williams'  war  tradition  and  urging  the 
college  "to  exhibit  the  fury  of  patient 
men."  Excerpts  from  Dr.  Baxter's  and  Mr. 
Newhall's  messages,  delivered  one  hour 
before  the  Congress  declared  war  on  Japan, 
follow. 

President  Baxter's  message  tele- 
phoned from  Weuhington:  With  the 
same  ruthless  treachery  she  showed  to 
China  in  1894,  and  to  Russia  in  1904, 
Japan  has  struck  for  the  third  time  by  a 
surprise  attack  before  a  declaration 
of  war.  Her  unprovoked  aggression  has 
united  the  entire  American  people  regard- 
less of  party.  Williams  men  will  respond 
with  the  same  courage  and  sense  of  re- 
sponsibility shown  in  previous  wars. There 
will  be  plenty  of  opportunity  to  serve  with 
the  colors  at  the  appropriate  time. 

Acting  President  Newhall's  ntessage : 

Our  country  is  at  war We  are  at  war 

because  our  government  has  refused  to 
condone  further  aggression  upon  peoples 
who  are  defending  their  homes,  or  upon 
peoples  who  are  now  at  peace.  We  are  at 
war  because  our  government  has  refused 
to  acquiesce  in  continued  practices  of 
international  bad  faith.  We  are  at  war 
because  we  condemned  wanton  and  un- 
provoked attack  by  the  Japanese  upon 
their  neighbors.  We  are  at  war  because 
we  ourselves  have  now,  at  last,  been  sub- 
jected to  wanton  and  unprovoked  attack   _ 

Let  us  remind  ourselves  that  we  are  all 
Americans,  fellow  citizens  of  a  great 
republic,  common  heirs  of  a  great  traditi(m. 
That  tradition  is  not  one  of  niilitaiy 
aggression,  but  it  is  none  the  less  heroic- 
\Ve  need  only  turn  our  eyes  to  the  list  of 
names  which  appears  on  the  walls  of  this 
chapel.  It  is  of  no  consequence  that  (lie

Wood  Heads  Group 
On  Cost  Reduction 

Committee  to  Propose 
Lowering  Living  Scale 
as    Result    of    Full    War 

Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
has  appointed  a  live-man  committee  to 
make  recommendations  to  campus  social 
organizations,  leading  to  a  program  of 
curtailment  of  the  Williams  standard  of 
living  in  the  interest  of  the  war  effort. 
Mr.  Newhall  appointed  the  committee 
with  the  approval  of  house  presidents  and 
treasurers,  who  met  with  him  and  other 
college  officials  on   Tuesilay  afternoon. 

Thomas  J.  Wood,  Director  of  Ad- 
missions, is  chairman  of  the  coniniittee 
which  includes  the  following  under- 
graduate members:  William  J.  Fuchs, 
Herbert  S.  Gay,  Jr.,  Paul  Murray,  Jr.,  and 
David  K.  Peet,  Jr.  '42.  The  coiiimiltee 
is  now  receiving  suggestions  for  curtail- 
ment from  all  house  officers,  and  yesterday 
asked  each  house  steward  to  submit 
sample  menus  for  study. 

SmitK  Makes  Suggestion 

Although  one  purpose  of  the  meeting 
on  Tuesday  was  to  solicit  undergraduate 
cooperation  in  reducing  the  cost  of  edu- 
cation at  Williams,  a  suggestion  made  by 
Professor  Walter  B.  Smith  indicated  to  the 
fraternity  officials  a  way  in  which  they 
might  use  reduced  costs  to  cooperate  in  the 
maximum  prosecution  of  the  war.  Mr. 
Smith  pointed  out  that  reduced  standards 
of  living  are  necessary  for  a  successful  war 
effort,  and  that  Williams  men  could 
accomplish  two  important  ends  by  cur- 
tailing their  scale  of  living: 

1 )  They  will  free  for  war  work  men  and 
materials  that  would  otherwise  be  con- 
sumed in  producing  consumer  goods. 

2)  They  will  finance  war  production  by 
turning  their  savings  into  defense  bonds. 

Mr.  Smith  also  pointed  out  that  the 
bonds  would  grow  in  value  and  return  to 
the  fraternities  after  the  war. 


Students  Warned 
Against  ^Hysteria' 
In  War  Assembly 

Stick  to  Your  Job  Here

Faculty     Panel     Advises 

by  S.v.M  Hi'NTKii  '44 

•"Don't  act  precipitantly  or  hystericalls : 
give  yourself  the  opportunity  to  take 
necessary  and  sober  second  thought." 

This  was  the  advice  Acting  Presideni 
Richard  .\.  Newhall  and  three  faculty 
nieinhers  offered  the  We<lne.s<lay  e\enin^ 
college  assembly  in  iiiiswer  to  studeni 
anxiety  over  the  problem  of  how  Williams 
undergraduates  may  best  serve  the  nation 
in  its  war  against  the  ,\xis.  Professor 
James  li.  Pratt,  Dean  Halfdan  Citegersen. 
and  Professor  Max  Leriier  participate*!  in 
the  panel  discussion  befon;  an  o\erflowing 
and  spirited  Jesup  Hall  audience. 
'Delay   at   Least    Till   Semester  End' 

In  his  talk  Accing  President  Newhall 
urged  students  to  delay  any  action  the\ 
might  be  disposed  to  take  "at  least  until 
the  end  of  the  semester".  Such  a  post- 
ponement of  decision,  he  suggested,  would 
allow  each  undergraduate  the  opjiortunity 
to  consult  his  parents  and  would  provide 
a  "normal  stopping  place  in  ac.idemir 
work". 

.Striking  a  comparison  between  war 
conditions  in  1917  and  in  1941,  President 
Newhall  decl.ired  that  there  was  no 
immediate  iieL-essity  for  college  students 
to  enlist  in  the  American  armed  forces. 
President  Newhall  further  called  attention 
to  Selective  Ser\  ice  Act  Director  General 
Hcrshey's  stalement  that  there  ciirrenth 
exists  no  prolilem  of  manpower  in  the 
armed  forces  because  of  etiiiipment 
deficiencies. 

Gregersen  Delivers  Address 

With  President  Newhall,  Dean  Greger 
sen  counseled  undergraduates  to  delay 
precipitate  action  and  urged  an  "elimina- 
tion of  all  romanticism  from  our  atti- 
tudes". He  warned  that  students  who 
fell  victim  to  war  hysteria  and  im|K  tuou,sly

Government  Stops 
All  Student  Flying 

Activity  Suspended,  Club 
Tries    to    Prepare     Men 

Kollowing  orders  from  the  h'ederal 
Government,  Acting  President  Richard  A. 
Newhall  informed  members  of  the  Wil- 
liams Plying  Club  by  mail  Wednesday  that 
all  private  licensed  pilots  and  student 
flyers  have  been  grounded  until  they  ful- 
fill certain  rigid  retiuirements.  Upon  re- 
ceiving this  order  John  T.  Tiittle  '42, 
president  of  the  flying  club,  announced 
that  his  organization  has  already  taken 
steps  towards  preparing  'Williams  pilots 
lor  the  Army  and  Naval  Air  Corps. 

A  precaution  to  keep  saboteurs  on  the 
ground,  the  government  decree  requires 
that  pilots  submit  their  fingerprints, 
signatures,  portraits,  birth  certificates, 
and  prove  their  loyalty  thr<iugli  written 
statements  from  reliable  individuals  before 
flying  permission  will  lie  reinstated. 
.Stmlenls  wishing  to  get  this  permission 
before  January,  when  the  first  inspector 
will  appear  in  Williamstown,  must  go  to 
the  Albany  .Mrport. 

.Since  flying  with  an  instructor  whose 
permission  has  been  reinstated  is  legal, 
and  because  most  club  members  will  re- 
ceive their  permissions  nex(  month. 
President  Tiittle  has  undertaken  a  plan  to 
prepare  pilots  for  the  air  corps.  .Mready 
five  club  members  are  seriously  considering 
joining  that  branch  of  the  service.  Last 
year's  club  secretary,  Carl  W.  Victor  '4.^. 
is  training  for  an  officer's  commission  in  the 
Naval  Air  Corps  at  present. 

Because  both  the  Army  and  Navy 
refuse  to  recognize  training  in  light  ships 
such  as  those  used  by  Williams  pilots,  the 
flying  club  is  attempting  to  purchase  a 
heavier  plane.  Acrobatics  and  cross- 
country instruction  in  such  a  craft  would 
prepare  Williams  men  so  that  they  could 
almost  "step  right  into  an  army  plane," 
Tuttle  said.

Winning  The  War  At  Williams 

The  very  ival  sfii.so  that  wo  in  eollcf^e  liave  of  wantitig  to  lie  used 
ill  this  war:  the  .seii.sc  lliat  reiiiaiiiiiig  at  Williams  give.s  u.s  of  being  un- 
uscil  —  the.se,  as  Mr,  I.erner  .said  on  Wednesday  night,  con.stitute  our 
most  serious  iier.soiia!  |)rolileiii  today. 

It  is,  iionellu'les.s,  this  very  feeling  that  will  win  this  war,  because  it 
is  a  feeling  thai  eaniiot  lie  with  us  for  long.  The  needs  and  the  oppor- 
tunities and  the  ways  of  winning  this  war  lead  in  too  many  directions 
for  IIS  to  make  the  mistaken  assumption  that  the  only  outlet  for  a  desire 
to  he  ii.sed  is  mililary. 

We  can  help  win  the  war  right  here  at  Williams.  With  a  real  feel- 
ing of  I  he  [irivileges  that  are  ours,  we  should  adopt  immediately  a  l)rf)ad 
program  of  .savings  in  our  fraternities  and  in  our  jjer.sonal  living. 

We  should  a(lo])t  in  our  social  units  a  l)roa<l  program  of  sla.slies  in  all 
expenditures,  wilh  the  express  |)iirpo.se  of  making  tho.se  saving.s  available 
lo  the  governnient  of  the  United  States  in  the  form  of  defense  bonds. 
In  our  personal  living,  we  nuist  adopt  a  .standard  of  living  .so  much  lower 
than  that  which  we  have  known  that  large  sums  of  money  will  be  freed 
for  the  in'odiictioii  of  the  materials  that  will  win  the  war. 

A  coiinniltee  headed  l)y  Mr.  Wood  is  already  drawing  up  a  list  of 
recommendations  to  the  .social  organizations,  which  will  enable  them  to 
institute  large  .savings  iinniediately.  In  order  to  meet  tyranny  with 
everything  we've  got,  thi'se 'savings  .should  be  turned  into  government 
l)onds.  The  fraleniities  should  use  the.se  savings  to  buy  bonds  in  the 
names  of  their  hoiuscs,  savings  which  will  return  to  the  fraternities  wilh 
interest  after  I  he  war  is  over. 

There  will  be  tho.se  who  will  argue  that  Ihe  savings,  in.stead  of  being 
liiriied  into  lionds,  should  lie  reliirned  to  the  families  of  undergraduates 
in  the  form  of  reduced  bills.  This  is  a  natural  suggestion,  but  it  is  not  the 
kind  of  suggestion  that  will  carry  the  prosecution  of  the  war  to  final 
victory.  Vor  in  dividing  the  pro.spective  savings  of  one  fraternity  into 
over  forty  i)ar(s,  it  i.s  cerlain  thai  Ihe  small  saving  each  month  for  each 
parent  would  not  conic  to  an  amount  large  enough  to  be  considered  i>y 
them  in  terms  of  bonds  —  in  term.s  of  the  financing  of  Ihe  war  efforl. 
Nor  would  this  amount  lie  large  enough  to  make  any  vital  difference  to 
them  in  the  administration  of  their  own  finances.  For  these  two  reasons 
there  can  be  neither  doubt  nor  hesitation  about  where  our  responsihility 
lies;  it  lies  wherever  the  nation  can  be  helped  most.  In  this  ca.se,  it  lies 
((uite  clearly  with  a  plan  of  bond  |)urchases. 

Even  before  we  join  the  armed  forces,  we  as  colle.ge  undergraduates 
can  help  win  this  war.  IJy  keeping  our  .social  organization  bills  whei-e 
I  hey  are,  but  by  ciirlailing  all  of  our  expenditures,  we  can  finance  the 
building  of  planes  and  tanks  —  without  undue  hardship  on  our  parents 
who  will  pay  those  bills,  nor  on  ourselves  who  will  experience  the  con.se- 
(juences  of  .sell'-enl'orced  curtailments.  And  every  one  of  tho.se  curtail- 
ments and  Ihe  bonds  we  liiiy  will  .serve  as  witnes.ses  to  the  fact  that  we  are 
l)eing  ii.sed.

and  it  was  interesting  to  observe  that  all 
the  whistling  and  shouting  was  done  on 
the  floor  of  the  House.  I  believe  (hat  the 
gallery  was  more  tense  and  reserved  than 
the  Congressmen  were. 

Isolationists  Look  Dejected 

Uefore  and  during  the  speech  I  watched 
the  foremost  of  the  isolationisis  as  they 
came  and  went  frinii  the  floor.  Wilhout 
exceplicm  they  looked  like  men  who  had 
bel  on  the  wiong  horse  and  were  si'arching 
for  a  way  to  recoup  their  liiss<'s.  \'andeii- 
berg,  Wheeler,  and  Clark  looketl  as  if  they 
had  slept  wilh  their  clothes  on,  while  Nye 
.seemed  nol  lo  have  been  In  bed  at  all. 

Il  was  nol  pleasant  lo  witness  much  of 
Ihe  performance  in  the  House  thai 
billowed  the  President's  speech.  'The 
actions  of  Miss  Jeanelte  Rankin,  Repre- 
senlalive  from  Montana,  were  more 
amusing  than  annoying,  but  it  was  the 
whining  of  I  lam  Fish,  Ihe  .sage  of  Dutchess 
CoiinlN',  lliat  set  my  teeth  on  edge.  In 
his  bi'St  hysterical,  jingoislic  style  F'ish 
tried  hard  lo  climb  on  to  Ihe  band  wagon 
which  he  had  tried  .so  cnnsislenlly  to 
wreck  before.  His  speech,  incidenlallv, 
fell  flat. 


Excerpts  from  Old 
Schuman  Texts  Qiven 
Clues  to  War  Crisis 


Prof.  Frederick  L.  .Stiiiimaii  lias  often 
been  called  "The  Prophet  of  the  Berkshire!." 
The  follirwing  excerpts  from  his  writings 
show  why  the  political  scientist  is  .to  aptly 
nanifd. 

I').?7,  Inlernational  Politics:  "The  dan- 
ger of  war  for  the  United  States  lay  less 


in  prospects  of  involvement  in  a  European 
conflict  than  in  an  armed  clash  with 
Japan.  The  Japanese-C.erman-ltalian  en- 
tente made  impossible  any  separation  of 
the  problems  of  Japaiu^se-Ainerican  rela- 
tions from   those  of   European   politics." 

iy,?8,  This  Week  Magazine  of  the  New 
\'ork  Ilerald-Tiihiiiie:  "Ciermany,  Italy, 
Japan  and  their  satellites  will  wage  war 
together.  (jermaii>-  will  impose  her  wi 
on  Danubia  and  lialkania  and  invade  the 
Ukraine.  The  Fascist  allies  will  defeat 
France,  conquer  the  continent  and  push 
eastward  into  Russia.  If  Hriiain  fights, 
the  first  few  months  of  hostilities  will  see 
Hong  Kong  and  the  British  and  Dutch 
East  Indies  lost  to  the  enemy,  with  I'^gypt, 
the  .Sudan  and  .Sonialiland  all  gravely 
threatened  'The  role  of  America  will  be 
decisive  for  the  destines  of  the  world," 

1941,  T)ccember  4,  Williams  Round 
Table:  "'There  is  nothing  to  negotiate 
about  in  Japanese-.'Kmerican  relations; 
the  war  is  inevitable.  'The  United  .States 
must  crush  the  Japanese  militarists  as  a 
necessary  prelude  to  crushing  the  Nazi 
Reich."

Hvmki.  '42  Sees  Olga  Averino  Recital  as  Rare 
Opportunity  in    World  Distorted  by    War 


by  Wauukn  G.  Hunkk  '42 
Among  the  larly  effects  of  Ci)n(»ress' 
(li'clariition  of  war  was  the  mediocre 
lurnout  for  Mine.  Olj^a  Averino's  recital 
in  the  Adams  IVlemorial  Tliealre  last 
Monday  evening.  In  the  light  of  news 
broadcasts  and  bulletins  the  small  attend- 
ance was  certainly  justified. 

Yet  from  now  until  the  war  is  over  there 
will  be  occasions  when  we  can  take  time 
out  from  radio  reports  and  catch  up  on 
what  remains  of  world  culture.  Too  bad 
I  hat  Monday  evening  could  not  have  been 
such  an  occasion  for  Mme.  Averino  pro- 
vided a  delightful  program.  She  chose  it 
wisely,  nearU'  every  number  beim;  a  uem

as  well  as  a  contrast  to  the  songs  which 
preceded  and  followed  it.  Most  important 
factor  of  all,  of  course,  was  her  geimine 
skill  as  a  singer.  She  has  a  beautiful 
voice,  a  superb  sense  of  pilch,  anil  a  mark- 
ed ability  to  give  life  to  the  text. 

In  the  Schubert  group  Mme.  Averino 
was  indefinite  at  first,  but  finally  her 
l(mi'  improved.  The  last  two  s<jngs  in 
the  group,  Lied  der  Migiion  and  Woliin? 
were  extremel\'  well  executed,  her  pitch 
in  the  lalter's  figuration  being  remarkable. 
After  the  .Schubert  portion,  there  were  four 
songs  of  Mozart  in  which  Mjne.  Averino's 
flare  for  expression  was  best  evidenced  in 
Dans  nil  liois  Sotilaire  and  ihe  Tremmiif,- 
.slied.  The  choice  of  numbers  in  this 
group  made  Mozart  and  .Schubert  sound 
very  much  alike,  differences  being  chiefly 
in  the  nature  of  the  accompaniment. 

In  the  Faureand  Debussy  section  Mme. 
Averino  displayed  a  keen  techniciue  that 
was  nowhere  matched  througlicjut  the 
recital.  I  refer  to  her  tonal  modulation 
and  her  reading  of  musical  lines.  Especial- 
ly in  the  l)ebii.ss\-  Chevdux  de  Biiis,  she 
sang  beautifully  as  she  went  through 
nunu-rous  ke\'  changes  along  with  the

Three  short  days  after  the  idea  had 
been  conceived  the  College  War  Bulletin 
was  issuing  copies  of  the  latest  releases 
with  each  copy  of  The  Adviser,  posting 
hour-b\'-hour  bulU-lins  on  the  dt)or  of 
their  19  Williams  Hall  ofilice,  pushing 
differenl  colored  pins  around  on  maps  to 
indicate  naval  and  air  bases  in  the  Pacific, 
troop  concentrations,  attacks  of  both 
.\llied  and  Axis  forces,  bombings,  naval, 
land  and  air  losses,  air  raid  alarms,  and 
possible   objectives.

bori'  those  names.  Suflice  it  ihat  to  I'ach

in  the  classrooms  of  Williams  College

the  same  answi-r  from  the  raidcs  of  ihe

It  is  right  and  pro|)i'r  at  this  time  to 
remind  ourselves  of  the  moral  weight  of 
American  power.  This  need  not,  and 
slnnild  not,  be  dcjne  with  Pnrisaical  self- 
satisfaction.  Neither  you  nor  1  created 
that  power  nor  gave  it  moral  weight.  'The 
nature  of  our  cause  itself  produces  that 
moral  weight.  But  it  does  become,  in 
fact,  a  moral  duty  laid  upon  the  American 
people  by  the  very  greatness  (jf  their  own 
power  to  make  effective  use  thereof  -  -    . 

Kor  my  own  p.irt  I  have  no  uncertainty 
as  to  the  eventu  d  willingness  of  .Americans 
to  rise  with  all  their  might  tu  whatever 
occasion  confronts  them.  I  \\,\vv  st'en 
them  do  it 

They  gave  me  my  conviction  in  the 
possibilities  of  democracy  because  they 
demonstrated  the  qualities  and  capacities 
of  ordinary  men  to  mjet  the  diMiuinds  of 
war.  It  is  the  virtue  of  the  democracy 
which  we  cherish  that  it  makes  the  ordi- 
nary man  the  basis  of  the  system,  instead 
of  treating  him  as  a  mere  item  of  nnlitary 
exp.'ndilure.  Oar  country  is  calling  now 
upon  all  its  men,  upon  you  and  upon  me, 
each  to  <lo  his  p.trt,  whatever  I  hat  part 
may  be.  Already  the  signs  are  cl.'ar  that, 
wh.'re   previously  thjre  has  ben  discord 


and  disagreement,  there  is  now  common 
agri'i'iiienl  upon  the  necessity  of  facing  a 
world  crisis  with  all  our  power,  confident 
that  we  are  right.  I  do  not  need  to  urge 
you  to  join  in  yimr  own  hearts  in  that 
common  agreement,  to  contribute  your 
share  to  the  sum  total  of  national  power, 
liul  1  do  urge  you  to  do  this  confidently 
and  bravely,  reminding  you,  in  ch)sing,  of 
Jehovah's  admonition  to  Joshua  as  he 
hesilali'd  on  the  bonlers  of  the  Promised 
l.aiid:  "Be  strong  and  of  a  good  courage; 
be  not  afraid,  neither  be  thou  dismayed,

society".  He  emphasized  the  individual 
nature  of  the  |)r<ilileni  which  each  under- 
graduate nmst  resolve  for  himself  in  de- 
ciding how  he  may  serve  the  nation  most 
elTectively. 

In  an  impassioned  ;lefense  of  e<lucation 
in  the  current  war-time  emergency.  Pro- 
fessor iVla.\  Lerner  urged  every  student 
whose  services  had  not  yet  been  required 
in  the  nation's  defense  to  have  patience, 
and  to  seek  in  the  meantime  an  "under- 
standing of  the  forces  loose  in  the  world 
today".  "With  this  understanding,"  he 
affirmed,  "you  will  tiear  your  weapons 
with  greater  strength  and  effectiveness." 

Admitting  that  he  too  has  experienced 
"the  terrible  sense  of  being  unused"  which 
has  characterized  the  new  generation, 
Professor  Lerner  confided  that  he  felt  his 
"real  duty  "  lay  in  teaching.  He  defined 
"citizenship"  as  the  purpose  of  education, 
and  "education",  he  added,  "must  teach 
us  to  understand,  to  believe,  and  to  act."

College  Bond  Drive 
Actively  Underway 

Employees  Deduct  Part

Groups    Consider    Plans 

by  RoncLiFr  V.  Jonks  '44 
Tangible  results  in  the  campus  drive  for 
sale  of  Defense  Savings  Bonds  were  shown 
last  week  when  the  Treasurer's  Office 
announced  that  many  members  of  the 
college  staff  have  requested  that  live  per 
cent  of  their  salaries  be  deducted  for  the 
purchase  of  bcmds.  At  the  same  tiine 
college  social  groups  considered  the  prob- 
lem with  some  of  them  adopting  delinitc 
plans  towartls  boosting  the  campaign. 

All  members  of  the  faculty  and  college 
employees  received  letters  last  week  from 
Professor  Walter  W.  McLaren,  Chairman 
of  the  Committee  to  Pnnnote  the  Sale  of 
Defense  Savings  Bonds,  which  suggested 
the  live  per  cent  deductiim  plan.  At  the 
bottom  of  the  letter  was  a  form  that  could 
he  signed  and  mailed  to  the  Treasurer's 
Office  authorizing  the  latter  to  make  the 
salary  deduction  and  buy  a  bond  in  the

Glee  Club:  Encouraged  by  the  enthu- 
siastic reception  accorded  the  Glee  Club 
at  N'assar  last  Saturday  in  the  initial 
concert  of  the  current  season,  Warren  G. 
Hunke  '42,  president  of  the  organization, 
and  Robert  G.  Barrows,  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor of  Music,  announced  yesterday  the 
completion  of  plans  for  a  vacation  concert 
to  be  held  Sundax',  December  21  in  New- 
York's  Barbizon-Plaza  Hotel. 

Over  eighteen  hundred  letters  have  been

publicizing  the  presentation,  but  although 
their  support  has  been  excellent,  some

Dr  Ruth  Benedict 
Lectures  Tonight 

Anthropologist  Boasts 

Reputation     as     Writer, 
Professor,         Sociologist 

Dr.  Ruth  Benedict,  the  world's  fore- 
most woman  anthropologist  and  prominent 
sociologist,  will  attempt  to  correlate  the 
anthropological  historv'  of  Man  with  his 
sociological  development  in  a  lecture 
entitled  "Problems  of  Anthropology"  to 
be  given  tonight  at  7:45  in  Jesup  Hall. 

Dr.  Benedict,  a  former  member  of  the 
Anthropology  Department  at  Columbia 
University,  is  convinced  that  there  is  an 
intimate  relationship  between  Man's  phy- 
sical and  social  development.  She  has 
written  so  well  on  the  subject  that  her 
book  Pattern  of  Cultures  is  used  by  Dr. 
Schuman  in  his  Political  Science  15-16 
course,  and  also  by  Professor  Hallet  D. 
Smith  in  Fine  Arts  15-16. 

Graduated  From  Vassar

in  1919,  and  returned  there  to  teach  in  the

At  the  same  meeting,  Dr.  E.  J.  Cough-

Air  Raid  Spotters 
Watch  In  Hopkins 

Walkley  and  Hughes,  '42 
Are  First  Volunteers 
to     Remain     on     Guard 

Number  One  Hopkins  Hall  has  become 
the  scene  of  vital  activity  as  air  raid 
volunteer  spotters  from  the  student  body 
remain  constantly  at  the  telephone  from 
eight  o'clock  at  night  to  eight  in  the 
morning  in  the  "Williams  College  Report 
Center." 

A  system  of  calls  and  signals,  previously 
planned  liy  the  authorities  in  Boston  and 
North  Adams,  have  kept  the  men  busy 
through  the  night  although  only  in  practice 
so  far.  A  yellow  signal  means,  ALERT; 
blue,  APPROACH;  red,  HERE;  while  the 
white  signifies,  ALL  CLEAR. 

Ring  Bells,  Call  Newhall 

If  the  watchers  receive  a  red  signal,  one 
of  them  must  dash  over  to  the  'I'hompson 
Memorial  Chapel  and  ring  the  liells  while 
the  other  calls  Acting-President  Richard 
A.  Newhall  immediately.  The  two  men 
work  in  shifts  of  three  hours  apiece 
throughout  the  night,  one  sleeping  while 
the  other  remains  at  the  telephone. 

All  the  comforts  of  hcmie  have  been 
provided,  including  a  bed  in  Mr.  Albert  \'. 
Osterhout's  ofilice  and  sandwiches  and 
coffee  prepared  b\-  the  faculty  wi\'es. 

Alarnns  Keep  Watchers  on  Jump 

Startling  calls  such  as  one  received 
during  the  lirst  night  from  a  worried 
townswoman  who  wanted  lo  make  sure 
that  the  boys  W(mld  be  on  duty  all  night,

Princeton  Juniors 
Speed  Graduation 

Commencement  in  Dec. 
Sought  by  Abolition 
of      Summer      Vacation 

Shifting  President  Roosevelt's  appeal 
for  a  "24-hour  da\ ,  seven  days  a  week" 
from  an  industrial  to  an  academic  inter- 
pretation, the  ofifici'is  of  the  Junior  Class 
of  Princeton  University  met  last  Friday 
to  petition  the  president  of  the  university 
and  members  of  the  adniinistralion  to 
"formulate  a  plan  of  study"  by  which 
those  members  of  the  class  who  so  desire 
may  be  gra<luated  in  December  1942. 

The  petition  states  that  the  under- 
graduates affected  would  be  willing  to 
cimtinue  their  studies  through  the  summer 
with  two  brief  vacation  periods,  and  sug- 
gests that  I  he  Reading  Periods  be  abolish- 
ed and  a  fifth  ctmrse  substituted.  The 
purposes  of  the  plan  are  twofold;  first,  the 
officers  of  the  class  declared  thai  its 
adoption  will  permit  many  candidates  for 
Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  to  complete  their 
liberal  education  and,  second,  that  it 
would  release  college  graduates  so  they 
might  volunteer  for  those  posts  in  the 
armed  forces  which  are  available  only  to 
men  with  college  educations. 

Offering  whole-hearted  support  of  the 
plan,  the  editors  of  The  Daily  Prince- 
Ionian  declared  that  its  atlvantages  laj'  in 
the  fact  that  Princeton  would  "be  able  lo 
get  a  large  percentage  of  its  undergrad- 
uates through  the  diploma-receiving  stage 
before  they  turn  21,"  and  it  would  assist 
in  the  development  of  "men  who  can 
utilize  the  fruits  of  victory  and  erect  scmie 
sort  of  political  framework  which  will 
pi-eserve  Western  civilization  and  prevent 
the  appearance  of  new  Hitlers  in  the 
world." 


Army  May  Utilize 
Flying  Club's  Field 

SAC  Grants  Fliers  $300 
to  Defray  Expenses, 
Make  Improvements 

.As  part  of  a  move  to  establish  emer- 
gency air|Kjrts  throughout  the  country, 
go\'eriinient  inspectors  surveyed  the  Wil- 
liams FKing  Club's  airport  at  South 
Williamstown  Thursday.  On  the  same 
day  the  Student  .'\ctivities  Council  granted 
$300  to  the  flying  club  for  improvement  of 
the  field  and  p.iyment  of  othei  expenses. 
Gov't  Officials  Inspect  Field 

The  inspectors  made  no  statement  as  to 
whether  or  not  the  .South  Williamstown 
field  would  get  any  of  the  huge  funds 
allocated  by  Congress  last  week  for  the 
improvement  of  private  fields  for  emer- 
gency use.  If  Friday's  survey  shows  that 
the  airport  has  possibilities  of  enlargement 
and  is  located  in  a  strategic  position, 
macadam  runways  will  probably  be  put  in 
and  perhaps  two  or  three  army  planes 
will  be  stationed  there. 

John  T.  Tuttle  '42,  jiresideiit  of  the 
Flying  Club,  said  that  to  the  best  of  his 
knowledge  his  group  would  be  allowed  to 
continue  using  the  field  after  improve- 
ments had  been  made  through  go\ernment 
funds. 

Because  the  Flying  Club  is  playing  a 
part  in  preparing  Williams  men  for  the  air 
corps,  and  because  it  needs  funds  lo  defray 
expenses,  the  S.  A.  C.  gave  it  the  $.?00 
last  week. 

Money  Helps  Pay  Instructors 

The  money  will  be  used  to  help  in  paying 
instructors'  fees  and  will  defray  the  cost  of 
constructing  a  hangar  and  improving  the 
runways.  The  latter  move  is  being  made 
with  the  view  of  actiiiirlnt;  a  Inri^er  shi])  in 
which  students  might  prepare  for  the 
Army  and  Naval  AW  Corps.  At  present 
these  branches  of  the  armed  forces  do  not 
recognize  training  in  the  light  craft  used 
by  the  club. 

Loan  May  Be  Permanent 

One  half  of  the  money  given  to  the 
Flying  Club  is  on  a  <piasi-loan  basis.  If 
that  organization  is  able  to  obtain  SI 50 
or  more  from  the  Trustees  $150  will  have 
to  bo  paid  back  to  the  S.  A.  C.  If  it  is

Captain  Fogg's  Visit  Will 
Precede  Campus  Drive 
for       Aviation       Cadets 

Captain  Robert  S.  Fogg  of  the  New 
England  Army  .Xviation  Cadet  Board  will 
herald  an  ap|)roaching  drive  on  this 
campus  for  stu<lent  .Mr  Corps  enlistments 
with  a  lecture  and  a  movie,  "Wings  of 
Steel",  tomorrow  evening  at  S;00  in  Jesup 
Hall.  Shortly  after  the  Christmas  recess 
an  .\vialion  Ciilet  E.\amining  Board  will 
visit  Williams  for  the  purpose  of  inter- 
viewing and  examining  pros|)ecti\e  canili- 
dates  for  the  Air  Service. 

Captain  Fogg  is  a  pioneer  in  New 
FIngland  aviation.  Following  the  World 
War,  in  which  he  served  as  a  flying  in- 
structor, he  became  one  of  the  original 
barnstormers.  In  1920  he  formed  his  own 
company  and  established  one  of  New 
lingland's  finest  airports  and  flying  schools 
at  Concord,  New  1  lampshire.  Captain 
Fogg  set  a  New  Fngland  record  for  contin- 
uous flying  during  the  Wrmont  flood 
when  he  delivered  mail  and  supjilies  for 
the  Post  Olfice  Department. 
Obtained  News  of  Lost  German  Fliers 

Fogg's  greatest  achievements,  which 
gained  him  national  prominence,  were  his 
flights  to  Greenly  Island,  Labrador,  where 
he  secured  the  fust  news  and  pictures  of 
the  (jcrman  fliers  who  had  come  to  grief 
on  the  ice  floes  in  the  first  westward  trans- 
Atlantic  flight.  He  has  been  granted  a 
one-year's  leave  of  absence  as  Chief  of  the 
Seaplane  Unit  of  the  Civil  Aeronautics 
Administration  in  order  to  8er\c  on  the 
Army  Aviation  Cadet  Board.

We're  In  The  Army  Now 

If  anyoiu'  is  interested  in  losing  the  war  there  are  a  couple  of  good 
way.s  we  know  of.  One  is  to  allow  the  growth  of  a  notion  lot.s  of  us  have 
about  eating,  drinking,  and  doing  what  we  please  because  we'll  be  in  the 
army  soon.  We  could  make  no  more  fatal  mistake  than  to  assume  that 
it  takes  only  arms  Lo  be  in  the  army  of  a  modern  nation  at  w^ar.  We  will 
never  win  if  Americans  at  home  think  that  Americans  are  dying  all  over 
the  world  for  "business  a.s  usual."  There  are  no  limits  to  the  American 
ai-my  today.     We  arc  in  the  army  now. 

Nazi  Germany  has  been  able  to  strike  terror  into  the  heart  of  the 
worUl  and  to  build  the  greatest  army  the  world  has  known  —  but  not  be- 
cause its  manhood  hasn't  done  its  part.  Today  it  is  our  job  to  tear  down 
the  whole  fabric  of  government  and  thought  that  have  constituted  the 
strength  of  modern  Gern:any.  Don't  be  fooled  into  believing  that  we 
can  win  without  drawing  our  national  strength,  just  as  modern  Germany, 
from  the  full  strength  of  every  man. 

The  virtue  of  the  jiroposal,  now  under  discussion,  to  undertake  broad 
savings  at  William.s  in  order  to  buy  defense  bonds  does  not  lie  in  the  fact 
that  it  is  pleasant  to  eat  cheaper  food.  The  virtue  does  not  lie  in  the  fact 
that  house  parties  will  be  just  as  much  fun  without  the  same  wine  and 
.song.  The  virtue  —  and  the  necessity  — •  lies  in  the  knowledge  that  to- 
gether all  our  sacrifices  constitute  a  privilege  that  alone  is  ours.  They 
constitute  the  privilege  of  contributing  toward  the  prosecution  of  a  war 
we  know  to  be  essential  to  a  decent  way  of  life. 

That  most  of  us  will  undertake  personal  savings  there  is  little  doubt. 
And  we  have  no  hesitation  about  saying  that  most  W^illianis  fraternities 
will  soon  be  contributing  towards  some  kind  of  bond-purchasing  |)lan. 
We  have  no  doubts,  because  we  saw  the  grinmess  and  the  eagerness  to  do 
something  in  the  faces  of  most  of  the  college  in  chapel  last  Monday. 
We  saw  enthusiasm  and  spirit  in  the  college  meeting  on  Wednesday  night. 
We  see  it  in  the  large  number  of  volunteers  for  air  raid  service,  and  in  the 
.seriousness  with  which  all  of  us  are  looking  toward  a  branch  of  the  service 
in  which  we  can  serve  best. 

What  vve  want  and  will  do  tomorrow,  however,  hardly  excuses  doing 
nothing  today.  Colin  Kelly,  who  sank  one  Japanese  battleship,  and  who 
died  in  his  try  for  another  knew  one  thing  above  all  —  that  Americans 
can  stop  at  nothing  to  win  this  war.  We  at  college  cannot  wait  to  fight 
until  there  arc  guns  in  our  hands.  With  a  hundred  and  thirty  million 
Americans,  we  are  in  the  army  now.     We  nuist  begin  to  fight  now.

LECTURES 


(CoiitiniKv!  fruni  pnni'  1) 
efforts  took  the  form  of  poetry,  published 
under  the  name  of  Anne  Singleton. 

She  married  the  late  Dr.  Stanley  Bene- 
dict, a  professor  of  biochemistry  at  Colum- 
bia, and  anxious  lo  pursue  further  her 
studies  In  the  lield  of  Anthropology,  she 
enrolled  at  Columbia  under  Frank  Boas, 
"the  grand   old    man    of   anthropology." 

In  1923  Dr.  Benedict  received  her  Ph.  D. 
degree  from  Columbia  where  she  was 
retained  as  a  professor  for  many  years. 
Between  1936  and  1939  she  was  acting 
head  of  the  Department  of  Anthropology. 

While  a  student  at  Vassar,  and  later  at 
Columbia,  Dr.  Benedict  became  interested 
in  social  work.  Since  then  she  has  become 
convinco<l  of  the  fundamental  relationship 
between  the  sciences  of  anthropology, 
sociology,  and  psychology,  and  has  incor- 
porated this  idea  in  many  of  her  books. 
It  has  formed  the  central  thesis  of  Pattern 
of  Cultures  and  Race:  Science  and  Politics. 
AmericanDemocraticSystam  Supreme 

From  her  intensive  studies  in  these 
fields  fJr.  Benedict  insists  on  the  inherent 
superiority  of  the  American  democratic 
system.  Specifically,  she  writes  that  "all 
the  arguments  are  on    the  side   of   the 


Founding  Fathers,  who  urged  no  dis- 
crimination on  the  basis  of  race,  creed,  or 
color." 

In  spite  of  her  manifold  activities  as  a 
teacher,  lecturer,  and  authoress,  fJr. 
Benedict  has  found  time  to  do  extensive 
field  work.  Her  students  have  taken  trips 
to  New  Guinea,  Samoa,  Fiji,  Africa,  and 
South  America. 

Dr.  Benedict  herself  has  done  particular- 
1\-  significant  work  in  the  stud\-  of  the 
history  of  the  American  Indian  tribes,  and 
has  placed  a  great  deal  of  emphasis  on 
primitive  religion,  mythology,  folklore, 
and  social  and  political  conventions. 

BILL  OF  RIGHTS 

(Continued  from  page  I) 
bration  falls  at  a  time  when  the  ver\- 
existence  and  future  of  the  Bill  of  Rights 
are  in  great  peril."  Professor  Lerner  stated 
in  a  recent  Rkcoud  interview.  "It  will 
lend  to  make  people  conscious  of  the  Bill 
of  Rights'  great  importance  to  them." 
He  added  that  the  document  is  the  "most 
important  among  the  liberties  we  are 
lighting  for  today." 

The  celebration  will  clearly  demonstrate 
to  the  country  just  what  it  is  lighting  for, 
as  various  well-known  figures  in  public 
life  today  relate  the  meaning  of  the  Bill  of 
Rights  in  their  estimation.  The  original 
program  had  the  President  and  the  Chief 
Justice  of  tlie  Supreme  Court  schedui  d  as 
climaxing  speakers  but,  due  to  the  present 
war  state,  it  was  hard  to  determine  at 
press  time  whether  the  Chief  Justice  would 
give  a  public  address. 


AIR  CORPS 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
Board  are  part  of  a  nation-wide  drive  for 
undergraduate  enlistments.  According  to 
the  latest  Washington  reports,  the  Air 
Corps  has  set  its  goal  at  20,000  new  cadets 
per  month.  Candidates  for  appointment 
lis  Aviation  Cadets  must  be  unmarried 
male  citizens  between  the  ages  of  twenty 
and  twenty-seven.  A  college  education 
is  no  longer  a  requirement,  but  those  with 
two  or  more  years  of  college  are  exempt 
from  the  educational  examination. 

Aviation  Cadets  leceive  $75  per  month 
plus  a  ration  allowance  of  $1  per  day  while 
undergoing  t'lcir  seven  months'  trainin,{ 
perioii.  At  the  end  of  the  training  period, 
they  are  commissioned  as  -Second  Lieuten- 
ants with  salaries  as  high  as  $245.50  per 
month  and  a  $500  cash  bonus  for  each 
vcar  of  service. 


Art  of  Theatre  Offers 
Second  Shepherd's  Play 

Luttrell     '44,     Moore     '43 
to    Play    Leading    Roles 

fhe  Williams  College  Art  of  the  Pheatre 
Course  will  present  its  third  annual 
Christmas  production,  The  Second  Shep- 
herd's Play,  on  Wednesday,  December 
17th,  at  5:00  p.  m.  in  the  Adams  Mem- 
orial Theatre.  Described  as  "a  modern 
interpretation  of  the  medieval  farce  which 
combines  light  humor  with  the  story  of  the 
Nativity,"  the  play  represents  the  semester 
efforts  of  the  Theatre  course.  Every 
student  in  the  course  holds  some  func- 
tional part  in  the  production. 

The  Art  of  the  Theatre  Course  is  de- 
signed to  utilize  all  opportunities  offered 
by  the  new  AMT,  and  this  play  represents 
one  of  the  more  practical  uses.  In  the  two 
previous  "Christmas  productions"  effec- 
tive staging  was  hampered  by  the  lack  of 
facilities  in  the  Chapel.  Now,  however, 
with  the  newly  completed  AMI"  available, 
the  students  are  staging  an  effort  to  make 
this  play  of  the  caliber  of  those  presented 
by  Cap  and  Bells,  Inc. 

Directed  by  Max  Flowers,  and  under 
the  supervision  of  James  Michael,  the  pla\' 
has  Robert  R.  Luttrell  '44  cast  in  the 
leading  role  of  Mak,  the  sheep  stealer, 
while  the  part  of  Gil,  Mak's  wife,  is  taken 
by  Charles  W.  Moore  '43.  Bruce  F. 
Brown  '43,  Spencer  Dickerson  '42,  and 
John  Spencer  '44  portray  the  three  shep- 
herds. Allen  Maulsby  '44  the  Angel, 
Peggy  Hall,  as  the  Virgin  Mary,  anil 
flobert  Crane  '43,  in  the  role  of  Joseph, 
complete  the  cast. 

Admission  to  the  performance  will  be 
free. 

Williams   Played  Host 
To  Jap  Naval  Observer 

Lieutenant-C  Oim  m  a  n  d  e  r 
Studied     Here     in     1936 

About  the  only  navigable  waterway  in 
the  vicinity  of  Wiiliamstown  is  the 
Hoosac  River  —  and  at  best  that  feeble 
stream  can  only  provide  safe  passage  for 
an  outboard  motor  boat.  This  hard  fact 
therefore  rasts  a  cloak  of  suspicion  over 
the  four-months  mystery  visit  to  Williams 
College  in  1936  of  a  high  ranking  Japanese 
naval  officer. 

On  December  7,  1941  the  Japanese  fleet 
attacked  the  American  navy,  at  the  special 
request  of  the  Japanese  embassy  in  the 
fall  of  1936  Lieutcnant-Conunander  I. 
Ohtani  of  the  Imperial  Japanese  Navy  was 
the  guest  of  Williams  College,  sitting  in 
on  courses  in  Political  .Science,  American 
History,   and    English. 

A  Record  investigation  has  thrown 
little  light  on  Mr.  Ohtani's  Wiiliamstown 
activities  —  although  authoritative  sources 
have  revealed  that  the  mystery  \-isitor 
was  in  the  habit  of  taking  long  walks. 
Members  of  the  administration  have  sug- 
gested that  the  whole  affair  was  "rather 
curious,"  but  declined  to  offer  any 
additional  information. 

In  his  farewell  ad.lress  to  Williams  at  the 
Garfield  Club  on  December  18,  1936 
Lieutenant-Commander  Ohtani  explained 
that  the  call  of  duty  made  his  departure 
necessary.  Issuing  a  plea  for  peaceful 
Japanese-.-Xmerican  relations,  he  urged 
Williams  students  and  all  other  Americans 
"to  understand  Japan  in  her  true  light." 
Mr.  Ohtani  declared  that  he  would  make 
an  effort  to  introduce  "true  America"  to 
his  people  at  home.  In  conclusion  the 
naval  observir  from  the  land  of  the  rising 
sun  "welcomed"  students  to  visit  Japan 
and  offered  his  services  as  "guide"  in 
return   for  Williams  hospitality. 


SPOTTERS 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
night  watchman,  who  called  to  reassure 
the  watchers  that  the  trucks  going  through 
town  were  snowplows  not  army  trucks, 
have  provided  a  few  chuckles  for  the 
spotters. 

Albert  T.  Walkley  and  Robert  E. 
Hughes  '42,  were  the  first  two  volunteers 
to  spend  the  night  on  duty,  and  both  men 
have  stated  that  they  would  like  to  do  it 
again.  Walkley  pointed  out  that  it  was 
harder  getting  to  sleep  than  staying  awake. 
During  one  of  his  watches,  he  was  called  by 
the  North  Adams  office  and  asked  to  trace 
two  trucks  headed  towards  Wiiliamstown 
and  filled  with  armed  men.  After  un- 
succcssfull>-  attempting  to  locate  them,  he 
called  North  Adams  to  report  his  failure 
and  was  duly  informed  that  it  was  only  a 
theoretical  problem  that  they  had  given 
him. 

Acting.President  Richard  A.  Ncwhall's 
request  for  volunteers  to  do  the  above 
work  was  enthusiastically  responded  to 
last  week  by  over  one  hundred  men.

French  Play:  *Very  Funny' --Faison;  Language 
Handicap  Stymies  Review  of  Spanish  Work 


by  Samuei,  I,.  Fawon 

Assoiiate  Professor  of  Fine  Arts 

It  wasn't  quite  clear  who  was  funnier, 
Moliere  or  Le  Theatre  Intime,  but  it  was  a 
\'ery  funny  performance  in  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre  Sunday  night.  To 
begin  with,  the  program  had  George 
Rudnick's  name  ahead  of  the  production 
staff,  the  Williams  Co-op  as  prelude  to 
Les  Precieuses  Ridicules;  and  the  announce- 
ment of  an  intermission  of  ten  minutes 
introducing  GYM  LUNCH.  When  the 
curtain  rose  there  were  surprising  revela- 
tions. Henry  Shapiro's  Gorgibus  was 
something  escaped  from  the  Biology  Lab 
showing  signs  of  an  encounter  with  a 
pigeon.  Elliot  Grant  arrived  in  a  sedan 
chair.  In  a  gangrenous  costume  bordered 
with  magenta,  he  engaged  his  porters  in 
what  must  be  the  first  taxi-cab  argument 
in  French  history.  Robert  H.  Allen,  his 
colleague  in  foppery,  plunged  a  lean  visage 
into  the  white  grease-paint  and  came  out 
looking  like  Marlene  Dietrich.  At  the 
end,  this  androgynous  apparition  was 
subjected  to  an  involuntary  strip-tease. 
The  audience  was  not  unresponsive. 

Those  proceedings  were  based  on 
Moliere.  There  was  some  good  acting  by 
Lawrence  Slade,  who  in  his  brief  moment 
projected  a  Parisian  verve  and  style  for 
which  this  genial  company  is  not  alto- 
l^'fthcr  celebrated.  Under  a  mountain- 
ous l)rown  wig  the  countenance  of  Elliot 
(rrant  wore  an  air  of  cherubic  lechery 
matched  only  by  His  vocal  inflection.  The 
ladies,     unfortunately,     were    nearly     in- 


audible; the  coy  pantomine  of  Miss  Kemp- 
er traversed  the  footlights  better  than 
Miss  Redmond's  somewhat  archaic  gest- 
ures. Mr.  Grant,  however,  had  en- 
thusiasm to  spare  and  kept  the  pace 
moving.  The  director,  Bushrod  Howard, 
Jr.,  deserves  full  credit  for  the  over- 
whelming success  of  a  new  interpretation 
of  Moliere.  Someone  ought  to  tell 
Laurel  and  Hardy. 

During  the  second  play,  Rosina  es 
Fragil,  by  Martinez  Sierra,  this  reviewer 
was  at  something  of  a  disadvantage:  it 
was  no  fault  of  the  cast  that  he  under- 
stood not  a  word.  He  can  report,  how- 
ever, that  the  diction  was  clearer  than  in 
the  French  play,  and  that  Spanish  as 
spoken  by  Claudio  Guillen  is  beautiful 
to  the  ear.  Esther  Barrow  and  Bushrod 
Howard  gave  good  performances.  The 
latter  should  be  advised  that  hands  can 
be  very  expressive  and  don't  need  to  dive 
into  pants'  pockets  after  every  speech. 
Larry  Slade  knows  all  about  this.

Grapplers  To  Face 
Lafayette  Friday 

Loss  of  Klopman  Heavy 
Blow;  Bullock  Schedules 
Tryouts      for      Tuesday 

With  the  opening  meet  of  the  season 
against  Lafayette,  less  than  a  week  off. 
Uncle  Ed  Bullock's  wrestling  team  has 
sustained  its  first  serious  mishap  in  the 
permanent  loss  of  veteran  Bill  Klopman 
through  a  recurrence  of  an  old  shoulder 
injury. 

Klopman,  undefeated  last  season,  was 
counted  on  to  be  a  consistent  winner  in  the 
165  pound  class,  and  his  presence  will  be 
sorelj-  missed.  Sophomore  Herb  Bell, 
who  wrestled  on  the  1944  team  last  year, 
is  expected  to  take  his  place. 

I'irst  tryouts  of  the  season  will  be  held 
this  week,  probably  tomorrow,  and  Coach 
Bullock  has  arranged  f(jr  some  practice 
matches  with  North  Adams  YMCA 
wrestlers  for  Wednesday  night. 

Richmond    Leads    Team 

Outstanding  candidates  for  starting 
positions  on  Friday  in  the  lower  weight 
classes  include  Captain  Art  Richmond, 
Bill  Inibrie,  and  Bob  Brown.  The  first 
will  have  to  fight  Johnny  Jacobs,  a  regular 
last  year,  for  his  positi(m  in  the  128-pound 
class,  while  Brown's  chief  opposition  at 
135  will  come  from  Bob  McKee,  rugged 
sophomore  who  had  only  limited  ex- 
perience last  year.  Imbrie,  as  sole 
candidate,  has  had  no  competition  in  the 
121-pound  class. 

Probable  choices  at  145  and  155  pounds 
arc  senior  Bob  Derge  and  sophomore 
Shep  Poor  respectively.  Bell  will  prob- 
ably take  care  of  the  165-pound  post,  with 
possible  opposition  from  Ed  Mulcah\-. 
Rob  Jones  and  Bob  Blakney  are  almost 
certain  choices  at  175  pounds  and  hcav\- 
weight. 

According  to  Bullock,  chances  for  a 
successful  season  are  reasonabh'  good, 
providing  no  more  injuries  put  key  men  on 
the  shelf  with  Klopman.

Social  Units  to  Purchase  Bonds 
At  present  campus  social  groups  are 
attempting  to  find  suitable  plans  for  the 
purchase  of  bonds.  Already  some  houses 
have  decided  to  purchase  them  in  the 
name  of  the  house  through  contributions 
to  a  specific  fund.  Other  groups  have 
decided  to  cut  down  on  desserts  with  the 


savings  going  iiUii  a  bond  fund.  .\  few 
fraternities  have  left  the  purchase  of  bonds 
entirely  up  to  the  individual. 

As  yet,  most  plans  are  still  in  the  em- 
bryimic  stage.  A  student  committee 
headed  by  Director  of  Admissions  Thomas 
J.  Wood  will  incorporate  all  the  plans  of 
reducing  costs  as  suggested  by  the  frater- 
nities and  the  Garfield  Club  and  submit  il 
to  all  groups  for  a  possible  plan  of  action. 

Postmistress  Mary  Dempsey  announced 
yesterday  that  orders  can  now  be  placed 
with  mail  carriers  for  the  purchase  of 
bonds.  Savings  stamps  and  bonds  are 
also  on  sale  at  the  post  office,  the  Williams- 
town  National  Bank,  the  Boston  and 
Maine  railroad  station,  and  at  the  A&P 
store  in  Williamstown.

THE  WILUAMS  RECORD.  MONDAY.  DECEMBER  15.  1911 


'Acquits  Itself  Well  In  a  World  at  War, 
Declares  Root  in  Review  of  January  'Sketch* 


hy  WiNTiiuoi'  11.  KouT 
Assisluiil  rruftssur  nfCcrman 
Ik'fori'  my  copy  of  Sketch  came,  I 
'woiulcTt'd  how  a  magazine  conceiveil  be- 
fore the  War  would  appear  to  u  reader  at 
the  end  of  the  first  week  of  the  War. 
Would  it  seem  a  glimpse  into  a  remotely 
remembered  age?  .Sketch  actpiits  itself 
ivell.  The  editorial  atVirniation  of  the 
need  for  a  continued  emphasis  on  the 
cultural  aspects  of  democracy  is  timely  and 
sound.  Fight  we  must  and  shall,  but  we 
are  fighting  for  the  deniocr.itic  way  of 
life  in  which  literature  and  art  are  integral 
factors.  It  is  eas>'  to  agree  with  the  editor 
that  we  can  also  serve  by  cultivating  the 
values  which  make  our  way  of  life  more 
creati\'e  than  the  Nazi  way.  The  articles 
are  all  timely,  though  William  Henderson's 


"What  about  Kralernities?"  sulTeis  from 
our  suildeii  shift  o(  interest  to  wider 
problems.  The  morale  in  our  local  sphere, 
however,  semis  ripples  out  into  the  great 
world,  anil  it  is  well  to  |)onder  on  oiu'  own 
weaknesses  or  strength.  Felix  Smith's 
"Union  Now:  Decline  and  Fall"  is  a 
thorough  and  capable  study,  done  with 
insight  and  objectivity.  It  is  good  read- 
ing and  sound  criticism  To  be  fair  to 
the  local  chapter  of  Union  Now,  one  might 
suggest  that  its  aim  was  destined  to  be 
achieved  by  thermite  and  H.  E.  bombs, 
not  by  local  chapters.  Howard  Sheble 
hates  militarism  more  than  he  does 
dernians.  His  two  types  do  not  do  justice 
to  the  complexity  of  the  problem.  1  was 
in  Germany  in  1937  ami  saw  the  militar- 
ism, and  stupidity  too,  but  also  among 
sfnsitive  and  intelligent  men  feai 
and  hatred  of  Hitler  and  his  ways. 
Perhaps,  because  he  is  younger,  .Sheble 
does  not  see  Germany  as  a  tragic  nation. 
Theie  is,  of  course,  no  question  but  what 
we  must  crush  German  militarism,  but  in 
the  process  we  must  not  base  our  actions 
on  Nazi  racial  assumptions  nor  trust  to 
methods  of  settlement  which  reflect  in 
the  slightest  Nazi  methods  of  New-order- 
ing con<iuered  nations.     The  cohnnns  ad<l-

I'll  to  my  fi-i-liiii!  that  Sketch  is  kiviily  invare 
of  tho  worlil  around  il,  and  doiiiK  a  good 
jol)  o(  ri'|).)rting  it. 

Tlu'  stories  in  ^vm-nl  do  not  conic  up  to 
the  standard  of  the  articles.  They  lack  a 
hasis  in  immediate  experience.  Skillfully 
as  tl)e\-  may  l.e  done,  they  seem  to  reach 
out  for  something  they  don't  ([uite  get. 
Lon  Hill's  "Lie"  builds  u|)  a  horrihie  at- 
ntosphere  in  a  nightnmrish  account  of  a 
child  who  suffers  front  lack  of  love  aiid, 
I  judge,  progressive  education.  The 
contrast  of  illtision  and  reality,  the  lie 
that  turns  out  to  be  the  truth,  is  put  across 
forcefully.  Hen  Schneider  pokes  fun  at 
the  college  liberal,  btit  falls  to  focus  and 
round  off  his  story.  Donald  Booz  handles 
a  strike  riot  in  the  light  of  its  deeper 
implications;  one  road  toward  Fascism  is 
to  treat  a  man  like  a  beast;  "the  lion- 
tamers"  are  the  destroyeis  of  democracy. 
Bernard  Bailyn  portrays  in  two  letters  an 
unusual  type  of  alumnus;  "A  l"ew  Poor 
Things"  finds  some  lasting  values  in  col- 
lege life. 

The  poems  show  that  the  hearts  of  the 
Williams  poets  arc  in  the  right  jilace.  Am 
I  old-fashioned  when  1  say  that  1  could 
wish  they  beat  a  little  more  rhythmically? 
Milton  Frigoff's  "War  a  la  Williams"  has 
some  amusing  lines,  but  as  a  whole  doesn't 
get  anywhere.  His  "Hymn  to  the  Con- 
tinental Carbon  Company"  is  stronger, 
but  he  ought  to  wrestle  his  meters  to  a  fall. 
William  Cantwell  makes  it  plain  in  "Want- 
ed: Someone"  that  human  values  out- 
weigh material,  and  puts  a  punch  into  the 
statement.  Don't  overlook  Lawrence 
Slide's  musical  "Farewell". 

To-day  more  than  ever  we  feel  part  of 
our  World,  linked  to  it  with  all  our  being. 
Sketch  is  to  be  congratulated  that  it  stands 
up  well  under  the  test  that  this  feeling 
leads  us  to  appl\-  in  everything  these  days 
find  us  doing.

live.  The  Purple  had  a  dream  night. 
Time  and  again  they  registered  impossible 
set  shots  from  the  mid-floor  and  one- 
handers  from  the  side.  Quintana  and 
Wallace  each  threw  in  three  baskets  in  the 
first  half  to  give  the  Ephs  a  commanding 
23-14  advantage  at  intermission. 

In  the  second  half  Wallace  and  Harter 
had  a  field  day,  increasing  the  lead  to 
twenty-seven  points  at  the  final  gun.  The 
middle  of  this  perioil  saw  Wallace  take  aim 
and  sink  four  lung  set  shots  in  a  row. 
Harter's  tallies  resulted  from  pivot  shots 
beside  the  keyhole.

(ContiiuieiHroln  iiaiji'  1) 
second  half  is  devoted  to  Chiislmas  carols 
concluding   with    the  choir's  ivnditioii   of 
"Silent    Night."     After    the  inleniiissioii 
the  octet  will  sing  seven  songs. 

To  conclude,  the  (dee  Club  will  sing 
four  numbers,  probably  Williams  songs. 
Thus,  as  Hunke  stated,  the  program  is 
arranged  to  inclucle  nearly  every  type  of 
song.

iM'sted  in  government  bonds  will  enable 
It  he  government  to  help  carry  out  its 
|\ii't(iry  program." 

The  Committee  went  on  to  recommend 
|tli  it  the  suggested  economies  be  saved  for 
111'  remainder  of  the  academic  year  and 
|(i.issil)ly  for  part  of  the  year  1942-43  and 
|lii'  put  into  bonds,  but  it  added  that  more 
.si  rill);  nt  economies  would  probably  be 
liu'c'ssitated  by  the  second  semester  of  the 
liii'xt  academic  year. 

Good  Training 

"The  first  p.'.  iod  of  a  year  or  a  yjar  and 
Kiu'  naif,"  runs  the  report,  "will  be  good 
[tiiining  for  the  fiaternitiesand  the  kitchen 
iilcilf.1  in  the  economy  measures  which  ttill 

■111    Cosential   for  the  preservation  of  the 

Ili.iternitieF." 

Present    recommendations    would    call 

If' 11  a  maintenance  of  existing  fraternity 
1  li  irges  with  provisions  for  investment  of 

|lli''  balance. 

Revive  Car  Ban 

It  has  also  been  advised  that  the  Under- 

lii'  uluate  Council  revive  the  ban  on  use  of 

|i  .rs  in  Williamstown  and  that  automobiles 

I 'id  particularly  automobile  tires  be  used 

|with  utmost  discretion.     The  Committee 

I'pealed    to  the    individual   students   to 

Ipi.ictice  careful  economy  and  stated  that 

I'Many  thousands  of  dollars  are  now  being 

-l«'iit    by    Williams    students    on    non 

■sontial  items  with  which  they  can  dis 

||i"nsc  in  this  time  of  emergency." 

Specific  mention  was  given  to  reductions 
liii  cost  of  heat,  light,  water  and  food,  and 
[tlip  Committee  advocated  tnat  heat  and 
linht  wardens  be  appointed  in  each  social 
loup.  Time  of  shoAers,  said  the  report, 
Miould  be  limited  in  each  house  to  three 
piiinutes. 

Sample  Menus 

Dealing  with  food,  the  Committee 
^t  ites,  "At  scaicely  any  of  the  preparatory 
fci  hoots  and  but  few  homes  do  students  eat 
[IS  well  as  they  do  at  Williams."  A  sample 
enu  was  proposed,  and  waste  and  mid- 
liight  "snacks"  should,  according  to  the 
Report,  be  abolished  in  every  case. 

Finally,  the  Committee  states  that  the 
purchase  of  newspapers,  victrola  records, 
knd  books  should  be  kept  at  a  minimum 
M  should  rushing,  banquet,  and  house 
party  expenses.  It  was  further  urged  that 
IVintcr  Carnival  be  eliminated  for  the 
juration,  and  that  laundry  bills  and  re- 
[ilacement  of  furniture  be  gteatly  cur- 
ailed.

by  Dave  Tiuihston  '44 

A  desperate  rally  in  the  last  live  minutes 
saved  Coach  Dale  Burnett's  varsity  court- 
men  fnmi  a  humiliating  defeat  last  night 
on  the  Lasell  surface  and  enabled  them  to 
overcome  a  sharp  shooting  St.  Michael's 
live  by  the  narrow  margin  iif  47-44. 
Resting  on  an  eight  point  lead  after  a 
brilliant  first  half,  the  Purple  allowed  the 
Saints  to  come  within  a  basket  of  tying 
the  score  before  spurting  to  their  third 
straight  victory. 

Saints'  Captain  Deadly 

Paced  by  their  shifty,  dead-eye  captain, 
Jules  Pequignot,  who  rang  up  nineteen 
tallies,  the  Saints  outscored  the  Ephs  In 
the  second  half.  In  the  closing  minutes 
they  brought  the  count  to  37-35,  but  a  pair 
of  hoops  by  both  Jack  Harter  and  Roy 
Tolles  and  Bob  Wallace's  mid-floor  ringer 
gave  the  Purple  the  decision. 

The  invaders  took  their  only  lead  of  the 
contest  on  Bob  Malone's  first  minute 
basket.  It  took  the  Ephs  live  minutes  to 
feel  out  the  enemy  defen,se,  but  then  the 
big  guns  started  sounding.  Marter  broke 
the  ice  with  a  penalty  sh<it.  Humby 
Quintana  and  Wallace  sank  long  ones, 
Tolles  tossed  in  a  follow-up,  Barnes  con- 
verted on  an  outside  play,  and  the  home 
forces  held  a  10-3  advantage. 

Wallace  Set  Shots 

Three  more  long  set-shots  by  Wallace 
Tolles'  beautifully  executed  cut-in,  and  a 
tap  shot  by  Harter  mounted  the  score 
rapidly.  With  less  than  a  minute  re 
maining  the  Saints  rallied.  A  mid-court 
heave  by  Jack  Fitzgibbon  and  a  quick 
break-away  by  Pequignot  brought  the 
count  to  23-15  at  the  half.

Pucksters  To  Compete 
In  Placid  Tournament 

Weather  Halts  Practice; 
Warmup  Games  Slated 
with  Army  on  Jan.   2-3 

After  only  five  days  of  skating  and  two 
of  actual  practice.  Coach  Whoops  Snively's 
hockey  team  will  meet  at  Lake  Placid, 
N.  Y.  on  Christmas  day  to  enter  the 
annual  Packer  Trophy  Tournament,  a 
three-day  affair  beginning  on  the  26th 
of  December  and  closing  on  the  29th. 
From  Placid,  the  sixteen-man  squad  will 
move  on  to  West  Point  for  practice  en- 
counters with  Army  on  January  2  and  3. 

Since  cancellation  of  the  yearly  game 
at  Rye  with  Dartmouth,  usually  the  team's 
breadwinner  for  the  Placid  trip,  the  stick- 
men  have  voted  to  pay  the  costs  for  the 
tournament  themselves. 

Three   Lines 

Snively  revealed  that  he  will  take  two 
goalies,  five  defensemen  and  three  com- 
plete lines.  Ready  to  work  in  the  net  will 
be  Captain  Marsh  Hannock  and  Bob 
Gardiner,  while  potential  starters  at  the 
defense  posts  will  be  Bill  Courter,  Harry 
Downs,  Crunny  Cole,  Ted  McFarlan  and 
Bernie  Boykin.  A  serious  loss  to  the 
team  is  star  right  wing  Bill  Schmidt, 
knocked  out  for  the  remainder  of  t..e 
season  by  an  attack  of  tonsilitis. 
Schmidt  Out 

Sophomore  Al  Bedford  will  replace 
Schmidt  in  the  first  string  line  with  Ted 
Brown  and  Bob  Kittridge.  In  the  second 
line,  Snively  will  have  Johnny  Fuller,  Bob 
Comfort  and  Red  Nicholls,  and  in  the  new

Faculty  Action  Gives  Rise  To 
Speculation  on  Summer  Session 


Professor  Max  Lerner 

Faculty  to  Deliver 
War  Talks  in  1942 

Lectures  on  Background, 
Issues  of  War  Result 
from    Lerner's    Proposal 

Professor  Max  Lerner's  war  assembh' 
plea  for  an  understantling  of  the  forces 
operating  in  the  world  today  as  a  necessary 
prerequisite  for  a  lasting  democratic 
victory  has  flowered  into  a  college-spon- 
sored lecture  series  on  "War  Perspectives." 

Following  the  Christmas  recess  a  series 
of  approximately  fifteen  addresses  will  be 
delivered  every  Friday  evening  by  faculty 
members  before  students  and  towns- 
people. These  addresses  will  examine  the 
background,  issues,  and  social  psychology 
of  the  present  war. 

Necessities  of  Victory 

The  series  is  directed  towards  an  umler- 
standing  of  what  has  happened  to  democ- 
racy, why  this  has  happened,  and  what 
concrete  measures  are  necessary  to  insure 
a  final  victory  of  freedom  in  the  world. 

Specifically,  the  lectures  will  deal  with 
such  considerations  as  the  power  realities 
and  military  strategy  of  the  war;  the 
relative  capacities  of  the  democratic  and 
totalitarian  state  forms  for  waging  war; 
the  organization  of  a  war  econonn';  price 
control;  labor  and  managerial  problems; 
methods  of  paying  for  the  war;  anti- 
democratic forces  in  wartime;  and  the 
impact  of  the  war  on  science  and  the  arts. 
Five-Man  Committee 

The  original  impetus  in  the  move  for  a 
realization  of  Lerner's  December  10 
suggestion  of  "education  for  citizenship" 
came  from  Robert  H.  Griggs  and  C. 
Frederick  Rudolph  '42.  A  five-man  com- 
mittee including  these  two  undergrad- 
uates. Professor  Paul  Birdsall,  Associate 
Professor  Alan  Sweez>',  and  Professor  Max 
Lerner  as  chairman  was  appointed  by 
Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall  to 
formulate  a  plan  o!  action. 

The  committee's  topical  outline  of  the 
lectures  and  the  speakers  is  still  too 
tentative  for  publication.  To  supplement 
the  series  of  formal  addresses  the  com- 
mittee will  keep  literature  bearing  on  the

Yale  and  Princeton  Offer  Three  Year  Plans; 
Dartmouth  Cancels  Carnival,  Spring  Recess 


The  Big  Three  this  week  took  steps  in 
offering  students  for  the  duration  of  the 
war  the  opportunity  to  graduate  in  three 
years  by  attending  summer  courses. 
Simultaneously,  Dartmouth  shifted  com- 
mencement forward  five  weeks  by  elimina- 
ting vacations  and  social  events. 
Summer  Sessions 

Declaring,  "The  best  equipment  you 
can  have  for  military  service  is  a  college 
degree  and  a  sound  physique,"  Pres. 
Harold  W.  Dodds  of  Princeton  announced 
a  new  voluntary  curriculum  which  would 
allow  undergraduates  at  that  institution 
to  graduate  from  a  year  to  six  months 
ahead  of  schedule  by  attending  summer 
sessions  of  the  college. 

20%  Increase  in  Work 

By  effecting  a  twenty  per  cent  increase 
in  work  and  intensive  use  of  reading 
periods,  no  curtailment  of  degree  require- 
ments will  be  necessary,  Dr.  Dodds  ex- 
plained. New  emergency  courses  will  be 
offered  beginning  with  the  second  .semester 
covering     such     fields     as     aeronautical 


engineering 

techniques    of     decoding, 
per    cent    of     Princeton 
President    Dodds    thinks 
the  program  will  carry  twi 


ordnance  and  gunnery,  and 

The     seventy 

students     who 

will    enroll    in 

regular  courses 


At  Wesleyan  a  plan  has  been  work- 
ed out  whereby  seniors  who  expect  to 
be  drafted  between  April  and  June 
may  take  special  examinations  and  re- 
ceive their  degrees  before  joining  the 
armed  forces.  Last  Friday  I'nion 
College  decided  to  shorten  the  college 
year  four  weeks  by  reducing  recesses 
and  b>'  accepting  a  heavier  program  of 
work. 


and  two  special  defense  courses.  At  the 
same  time  the  university  will  emphasize 
physical  training. 

Juniors  who  enter  Princeton's  acceler- 
ated program  will  graduate  in  February, 
1943;  sophomores  in  September,  1943; 
and  freshmen  in  June,  1944,  President 
Dodds   said.

The  writers  of  the  letter  in  (inestioii  erred  .seriously  in  stating  that 
"to  ilate  there  haveii'l  been  any  volunteers  from  Williams."  They  ignore 
I  he  fact  that  ^Villiams  men,  for  over  a  year,  have  been  thinking  and  acting 
in  terms  of  service  lo  llie  nation.  There  are  men  in  college  with  suinincr 
training'  with  the  marines  and  other  branches  of  the  service,  who  now 
are  waiting  foi-  their  next  orders.  Tlie?-c  are  seniors  in  college  who  have 
snccessfully  passed  re(|iiiremeiits  for  the  a''niy  air  corps,  but  who  in  accor.l- 
iince  with  the  army's  wishes  are  remaining  here  until  they  graduate. 
There  are  six  ensigns  on  active  duly  with  the  I'liited  States  Navy  today 
who  did  not  relurn  to  college  this  fall  because  llu'V  sta'-ted  their  naval 
training  two  \-ears  ago.  And  there  is  no  man  in  college  today,  we  woul.l

democracy  of  ours  with  the  men  of  trained  intclligcnc.' and  action  who  are 
iiece.s.sary  for  I  he  survival  and  growth  of  our  nation.  The  need  for  educated 
men  is  jus!  as  great  today  us  before  the  war,  and  will  he  far  greater  after 
the  war  is  over.  And  llirce  years  from  now  onr  armed  services  will  be 
all  the  Idler  for  the  men  who  have  waited  until  then  to  leave  college  for 
the  .ser\ice.  That  is  why,  in  our  estimaliou,  it  is  terribly  im|)()rtaTit  IV>r 
inemhers  of  the  two  lower  classes  lo  stay  at  Williams  as  long  as  they 
c.aii.  There  is  an  important  Iraining  in  iufelligeiice  and  growth  in  values 
that  comes  with  eatdi  day  spent  at  Williams,  and  it  would  he  ii  national 
I ragcdy  to  desi  roy  I  he.se  weapons  .so  necessary  to  the  s])iritual  and  political

l.el  no  one  fear  that  Williams  will  fail  to  liistinguish  itself  in  battle  in 
this  war,  or  thai  its  long  tradition  of  .service  will  be  broken.  And  let  no 
one  iiake  the  mistake  of  confusing  a  rea.soned  a]>i)roaeh  to  the  tiuestion 
of  vohmleeriiig  iinmcdiatcly  with  a  lack  of  patrioti.sm.  Nor  make  the 
still  more  .serious  mistake  of  throwing  education  out  the  window.  When 
this  war  is  ov<m-,  Messrs.  Cliristiano  and  Cirillone  will  find  that  Williams 
has  done  its  usual  good  job,  as  a  college,  and  as  iiien  in  the  field  of  battle.

'the  whole  series  of  propo,sats  for  strcani-

origiical  impetus  from  a  ttio  of  iindor- 
gradtiates.  On  Monday  afternoon  John

C,  Moore  '4,?  called  at  1  Mopkins  tiall  to 
find  out  abtnit  the  Dartmouth  accelera- 
tion program.  .Acting  President  Ncwhall 
was  indticed  to  make  a  telephone  call  to 
I'resittent  Krnesl  M.  Hopkins  at  Hanover. 

Out  of  their  telephone  conversation  on 
Momliiy  afternnim  grew  the  set  of  sug- 
gestions IVesident  Ncwhall  forwarded  to 
the  Committee  on  Educational  Policy. 
The  final  plan  evolved  by  the  Coniniittec

Quintet  Scores  at  Will 

The  N'earliaj.  basketball  squad  held 
informal  scrimmages  the  ijasl  ten  days,  as 
well  as  intensive  team  drills.  They  faced 
a  small,  inexperienced  Williamstown  llif;h 
School  live,  and  rolled  up  a  lar).;e  score 
against  their  youiiRer  opponents.  The 
swiftness  of  their  attack  demoralized  the 
hi^h  school,  and  they  were  able  to  score 
almost  at  will.  I5iib  I'lunkett,  e.\-Alhan\- 
Academy  ace,  sparked  the  attack  b\-  hiiop- 
inf;  over  10  baski-ls  in  two  short  appear- 
ances. 

Against  the  Junior  \arsit\  last  iMiday 
lhe>-  looked  ei|iially  elTective,  with  a  fore- 
court combination  of  Dick  Cnbilen,  Dick 
Mole,  anil  AniK  Knox  slandini;  out. 
Cobden  capitalized  on  most  of  ih,-  scoring 
chances  from  close  ran^e. 

A  scrimmage  with  the  undefeated  var- 
sity on  Tuesday  was  a  horse  of  another 
color.  The  upperclassmen  were  having 
bad  luck  on  the  rim,  hut  their  conlrol  of 
the  backboard,  and  their  all-nrounil  learn 
|)la\-  was  too  much  bir  the  freshmen,  who 
have  given  the  varsity  a  taste  of  the  s.ime 
medicine  on  previous  occasions.

Quintet  Wins  One 
Game,  Drops  Three 

Yale,  Rutgers,  Brooklyn 
Poly  Overcome  Purple; 
Hofstra    Only    Conquest 


Williams'  basketball  forces  take 
the  floor  for  the  eighth  time  this 
season  tomorrow  e\enirig  in  the 
Lasell  Cymnasium  at  8:30  when 
they   face    M.    1.   T. 


by  D.WK  TnrnsTON  '44 

Coach  Dale  Burnett's  string  of  three 
pre-vaeation  court  victories  was  ruflel> 
shattered  Christmas  recess  when  his 
varsity  quintet  dropped  three  hair-raising 
contests  to  \'ale.  Rutgers,  and  Brooklyn 
Poly  while  downing  oidy  a  weak  Hofstra 
five.  The  X'illanova  game  scheduled  for 
New  ^'ear's  night  in  Wilmington,  Del., 
was  cancelled  by  military  authorities,  who 
declared  that  no  collegiate  games  were  to 
be  played  in  the  Armory. 

Ouintana,  Lindsay  Score 

The  Ephs  played  their  best  game  of  the 
trip  in  upsetting  Hofstra  on  December  30, 
43-34.  With  Co-Captain  Humby  Quin- 
tana  loading  the  hoop  with  four  shots,  the 
Purple  gained  a  slight  early  advantage. 
After  the  halftinie,  when  they  held  an 
18-l.S  margin,  the  five  began  to  click. 
Last  year's  freshman  ca|)tain  Don  Lindsay 
led  the  .second  half  barrage  against  the 
tiring  Hofstra  cagers  with  three  bucket 
shots  from  the  |)ivot  post. 

Wils  Barnes  and  Quintana  each  tossed 
ten  points  through  the  hoop  to  gake  the 
Eph  scoring  honors  for  the  night. 

To  the  Elis  went  the  credit  of  breaking 
the  Willi.ims  three-game  win  streak  when 
they  inflicted  a  44-3,S  defeat  at  the  West- 
chester County  Center  on  December  20. 
Running  up  a  lead  in  the  fiist  period,  the 
Blue  was  never  headed.  Tom  \'ogt's 
four  hoops  and  a  trio  of  sparkling  mi<l- 
court  heaves  by  lanky  Bert  Ingley  gave 
the  ^'ale  quintet  a  commanding  24-16 
advantage  at  intermission. 

With  Barnes  and  Jack  Hartcr  pacing  the 
attack,  the  Purple  staged  a  second  half 
rally  that  fell  only  a  basket  short  of  tying 
the  Elis.  But  the  Eph  spurt  was  then 
checked  when  both  Captain  Seelbach  and 
Vogt  sank  a  pair  of  hoops. 

Hitting  the  skids  in  the  second  half, 
the  Purple  lost  their  second  start  at  the 
County  Center  against  Rutgers  December 
29,  34-3L  Roy  Tollcs  and  Harter  com- 
bined in  the  opening  minutes  of  the  tilt  to 
give  the  Purple  a  17-13  edge  at  the  end  of 
the  first  half.  Soon  after  the  second  half 
tip-olT,  Rutgers  took  the  lead,  and  despite 
the  scoring  efforts  of  Barnes  and  Quintana,

Mme.  Fauchald  To  Be 
Guest  Singer  Jan.  10 

Mme.  Nora  Fauchald,  Norwegian  Amer- 
ican soprano,  will  present  a  song  recital 
tomorrow  night  at  8:15  in  The  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Women's  Faculty  Club.  The  pro- 
ceeds from  this  concert  are  to  be  given  to 
the  North  Adams  Hospital. 

Mme.  Fauchald  who  is  an  instructor  at 
The  Juilliard  School  of  Music,  in  New 
York  has  sung  not  imly  in  many  parts  of 
this  country,  but  also  in  Berlin,  Vienna, 
and  Czechoslovakia.  She  also  spent  five 
years  as  soloist  in  John  Phillip  Sousa's 
band. 

In  the  October  16,  1940  issue  of  the  New 
York  Times,  she  is  spoken  of  as  "a  charm- 
ing singer.  What  is  more  she  can  make  up 
an  attractive  and  unhackneyed  program 
well  suited  to  her  temperament,  voice,  and 
vocal  style.  Mme.  Fauchald's  voice  is 
pure  and  sweet,  and  she  used  it  with 
sensibility  and  expressiveness.  Her  Grieg 
songs  were  particularly  moving  and 
lovely."

In  Chapin  Address 

Anticipates  Continuous 
Session;  Undergraduate 
War     Role     is     Clarified 

Acting  Pr<'sidenl  Uichard  A.  Newh.ill 
clariiied  Williams  role  in  the  war  effort 
Wednesday  evening  when  he  announced 
officialI\'  the  college's  adoption  of  an 
accelerated  academic  program,  and  out- 
lined the  mechanics  of  the  spring  semes- 
ter's telescoped  schedule.  At  the  same 
time  he  indicated  the  probability  of  early 
Trustee  approval  of  a  1942  summer 
session. 

This  information  was  presented  to  the 
student  body  in  connection  with  an  in- 
formal report  on  the  plans  for  educational 
adjustment  to  the  emergency  prescribed 
by  the  recent  Baltimore  conference  of  800 
college  and  universit)'  officials. 

The  new  college  acceleration  program 
will  eliminate  midyear  and  spring  re- 
cesses and  increase  second  semester 
classes  from  six  to  seven  per  fortnight. 
This  will  mean  two  and  one  half  hours  of 
additional  classwork  per  week. 

The  schedule  for  the  spring  semester 
will  be  presented  to  the  faculty  for  their 
approval  Monday.  Little  opposition  is 
anticipated.  Under  the  speeded  up  pro- 
gram the  hour  between  1:00  p.  m.  and 
2:00  p.  m.  will  be  utilized  for  additional 
conf(»renres  and  lerl  iire^  I  ;d)f»ratnry  niect- 
ings  will  be  held  in  the  evenings. 

The  proposal  for  a  continuous  college 
session  will  be  considered  b\'  the  Board  of 
Trustees  at  their  February  meeting.  This 
plan  is  designed  to  allow  undergraduates 
to  fulfill  the  degree  requirement  in  three 
years. 

President  Newhall  intimated  that  the 
college  might  meet  the  problem  of  finan- 
cing scholarship  men  dependent  on 
summer  employment  through  its  own 
funds.  No  problem  of  freshman  admissions 
is  anticipated  since  the  cla.ss  of  1946  will 
probably  be  admitted  in  September. 

As  a  move  to  supplement  the  academic 
acceleration  program  President  Newhall 
further  announced  the  creation  of  new 
war  emergency  courses. 

In  his  address  President  Newhall  laid 
special  emphasis  on  the  fact  that  the

tonighc's  decisions  will  be  made  to  the 
social  groups,  and  although  ratification 
must  be  left  up  to  the  fifteen  fraternities 
and  the  Ciarfield  Club,  no  obstacles  arc 
foreseen  inasmuch  as  any  plans  will  have 
the  backing  of  alumni  representatives  of 
each  organization.  Because  of  the  exi- 
gencies of  the  national  emergency,  speedy 
acceptance  is  anticipatetl. 

Amherst  Manager  Lends  Aid

J.  Wood,  head  of  the  newly-established 
Economy  Committee,  and  .Arthur  Daven-

quire  any  previous  college    mathematics. 

In  order  to  take  these  new  courses, 
.students  will  be  permitted  to  drop  two 
others  not  in  their  major.  But,  warns 
Mr.  Perry,  "the  department  can't  take 
too  many,  and  will  admit  onl\'  those  who 
have  to  have  the  training  now."  Mr. 
Perry  is  in  charge  of  enrollment  for  ihe.sc 
courses,  and  all  arrangenu'nts  must  be 
made  with  him. 

With  an  eye  to  the  field  of  radio  com- 
munications, the  Physics  Department  is 
making  Electronics,  ordinarily  a  junior 
and  senior  course,  available  to  sophomores 
who  have  taken  Physics  1-2  and  Mathe- 
matics 1-2.  Thus  sophomores  will  be  able 
to  take  this  course  during  the  summer. 


Schuman  Sees  World  Federated  By  Either 
Axis  Powers  or  U.S.,  Great  Britain,  Russia 


by  Paui-  Dktels  '44  ' 

In  Design  for  Power,  published  this 
week  a  study  of  the  tumultous  decade 
which  began  in  1931,  Prof.  Frederick  L. 
Schuman  has  written  a  book  regarded  by 
most  critics  as  the  best  commentary  on 
those  ten  years.  Lewis  Gannett,  literary 
critic  of  the  New  York  Herald  Tribune,  has 
said: —  "In  the  main  his  pre-Pcarl  Harbor 
analysis  stands  up  well — Today   Design 

for    Power seems   to   me    as   useful    a 

retrospect  and  prospect  as  is  available." 
Time  Scorns  Schuman 
Only  Time  magazine  disliked  Schuman's 
book,  and  their  critic  called  him  a  dog- 
inatist,  and  a  "liberal  totalitarian."  In 
a  caustic  review  which  sacrificed  accuracy 
for  acrimoniousness,  he  said — "sometimes 
Schuman  mistakes  the  chattering  of  his 
teeth  tor  revelationi''  It  also  announced 
the  conversion  of  Schuman  to  the  cause  of 
Union  Now,  which  revealed  an  unfamiliar- 
ity  with  both  Schuman  and  Union  Now. 
Schuman's  plan  resembles  the  proposals  of 
British  Federal  Unionists,  but  is  not 
closely  allied  with  those  of  Clarence  Strcit, 
whom  he  introduced  at  the  1941  Spring 
Conference. 

However,  the  New  York  Times  re- 
marked— "there  is  no  better  all-over 
interpretative  survey  in  print."  PM 
waxed  enthusiastic  over  Design  for  Power, 
terming  Schuman  "ace-high  as  an  historian 
of  our  times." 


Traces  War  Back  To  1931 

Schuman  traces  the  spark  of  the  present 
war  back  to  the  first  Manchurian  incident 
in  1931,  when  the  U.  S.  and  Great  Britain 
stood  idly  by  while  Japan  invaded  the 
Chinese  territory  which  had  been  guaran- 
teed by  both  the  L'.  S.  and  Great  Britain, 
as  well  as  Japan.  He  believes  that  action, 
or  failure  to  act,  set  off  a  logical  chain  of 
consequences  which  found  its  latest  mani- 
festation in  the  Japanese  attack  on  the 
United  States.

T.  C.  Smith's  Lecture 
First  of  '42  Series 

Speaking  on  "The  Three  Year  War 
Debate  and  its  Lessons",  Professor 
Emeritus  T.  C.  Smith  opened  the  annual 
Thursday  afternoon  series  of  lectures 
given  by  members  of  the  faculty  on 
various  topics. 

The  subject  of  Professor  Smith's  lecture 
was  the  effect  and  formation  of  public 
opinion  on  American  foreign  policy. 
Other  points  discussed  under  this  topic 
included  the  political  background  behind 
recent  developments  in  American  dip- 
lomacy, traditional  American  isolationism, 
post  World  War  reactionary  thinking,  and 
Roosevelt's  new  foreign  policy.

time  business  manager. 

Agitation  regarding  high  fraternity 
costs  at  Williams  began  as  earl\*  as  Decem- 
ber 193';,  when  figures  compiled  by  TuK 
Rf.cohij  revealed  that  average  cost  of 
fraternity  membership  here  was  over  $150 
more  expensive  than  at  Amherst.  Sub-

'Record'  to  Publish 
Weekly  on  Fridays 

College  Speed-Up,  Paper, 
Advertising  Shortages 
Restrict     Publication 

The  executive  otlicers  of  The  Kkcoud, 
in  a  move  desigiud  to  aid  the  college  in 
curtailing  all  extracurricular  activities 
for  the  duration,  last  Tuesday  voted  to 
restrict  publication  of  the  college  news- 
paper to  one  issue  per  week,  appearing 
Fridays.  This  restriction,  which  parallels 
Thk  Uk<ohii'»  curtailment  of  publication 
in  October  1918,  will  go  into  effect  Friday, 
Feb.  6,  when  the  1942  editorial  and 
business  boards  surrender  the  leadership 
of  the  newspaper  to  the  1943  staffs. 
3  Causes  Change  Publication 

Three  new  circumstances  created  by 
the  world  war — Che  college's  new  speedcd- 
up  curriculum,  and  anticipated  shortages 

in  both  paper  and  advertising were  the 

compelling  motives  behind  TiiK  Recoud's 
curtailment  of  a  semi-weekly  publication 
schedule  which  has  been  constantly  main- 
tained since  January  1919. 

Although  the  new  publication  dates 
have  not  been  determined  because  the 
schedule  for  the  college's  summer  session 
is  not  yet  completed,  the  1943  editors  hope 
to  publish  TiiK  Recohi)  on  ever>'  Friday 
that  Williams  is  holding  classes,  during 
both  the  spring  and  summer. 

From  May  1918  until  January  1919, 
The  Recorb  was  forced  to  suspend  publi- 
cation completely  because  ahnost  the 
entire  .staff  joined  the  armed  forces. 
During  this  period  of  suspension,  a  four- 
page  paper,  renamed  Camp  and  Campus, 
was  published  at  Williams  by  those  stu- 
dents who  still  remained  at  the  ct^llegc.

URTliiigof  till'  siKi'ial  committee  of  aimimi 
representatives,  aiicl  Fred  K.  I.iiuler  '12 
was  named  chairman  witli  .Steplien  ("■.

At  tliat  time  t'liairmun  Liiider  set  ii|) 
five  .sul)Commiltees,  a  Committee  on  Food, 
a  Committee  on  I'ixed  Charses  (in  )rt-

on  !'ul)lic  Utilit.v  (lieat,  light,  water,  fuel 
and  wages),  a  Committee  on  Accoimting, 
and  a  Committee  on  Miscellaneous 
Matters  (national  fraternit\'  costs  and 
social  expenses). 

Under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Brown, 
investigation  of  fraternity  "facts  in  I 
figures"  began  last  March.  Receiving  the 
almost  cooperation  from  undergraduate 
treasurers,  Mr.  13rown  was  able  to  make 
se\-eral  reports  to  the  various  subcom- 
mittees, and  numerous  meetings  were  held 
throughout    the    balance    of    the     year. 


All  accelerated  Williaiii.s  mcaii.s  .soinetliiiig  tlift'crciit  to  every  one  of 
IKS.  To  all  of  us  it  gives  more  iiieaiiing  to  reiiiainiiig  in  college,  as  well  as 
an  ojjport unity  to  make  our  services  more  valuable  as  a  consequence  of 
continued  education  and  new  war  courses.  To  the  nation  it  means  the 
utilization  of  educational  resources,  of  materials  and  men  and  ideas,  for 
the  per])et nation  and  growth  of  our  spiritual  and  political  democracy. 
To  the  armed  forces  it  means  the  assurance  of  more  men  with  basic 
training  in  mathematics,  astronomy,  physics,  and  chemistry.  To  each 
one  of  lis  it  means  the  acceptance  of  a  challenge  that  tyranny  has  thrown 
at  our  feet;  it  means  the  rejical  of  softness  in  the  interest  of  the  kind  of 
hartl  work  that  it  takes  to  do  a  hard  job.  To  our  eneniiej  it  is  evidence 
of  our  determination  to  let  nothing  go  to  waste  in  our  fight  to  achieve  a 
total  victory  for  freedom. 

Surely  this  accelerated  program  will  work  hardships  on  lis.  But  if 
there  is  a  decrease  in  intercollegiate  athletics,  there  will  also  be  more 
opjiortunities  to  beat  ClioUy  Keller's  softball  team  this  summer.  If  it 
means  less  gratification  with  the  "eating  club"aspects  of  our  fraternities, 
it  .shall  mean  a  greater  appreciation  of  the  values  in  fraternities  that  really 
count.  If  it  necessitates  fewer  weekenils  and  shorteV  viications,  it  also 
shall  develo])  a  growing  appreciation  of  the  strengths  that  come  with 
sincere  and  determined  effort. 

This  is  not  war  hysteria,  as  some  will  undoubtedly  maintain.  For 
there  is  an  avenue  for  action  in  between  the  hysteria  that  waves  a  flag 
at  every  opportunity,  and  the  "don't-get-exeited-boys"  temper  which 
proposes  to  throttle  our  enthusiasm  and  our  energies.  The  war  Williams, 
as  outlined  by  Mr.  Newhall  at  Wednesday's  college  meeting,  does,  in  our 
estimation,  find  the  proper  channels  for  college  men :  these  arc  the  channels 
of  harder  work  and  of  fuller  usefulness;  of  jjrcparation  for  service  to  the 
nation.  These  are  far  better  channels  than  a  business-a.s-usual  Williams 
would  offer.  This  is  a  plan  that  will  make  po.ssible  for  many  of  us  both 
service  and  education,  as  well  as  making  that  service  more  valuable  to 
the  nation  by  coui)ling  it  with  the  training  in  intelligence  and  growth  in 
values  that  are  a  part  of  Williams. 

We  cannot  win  a  war  today  "as  usual."  The  men  of  action  and  lead- 
ershi))  of  today  and  tomorrow  cannot  be  j)reparetl  "as  usual."  We  cannot 
win  a  total  war,  a  twelve-month  war,  on  an  eight-month  schedule.  These 
things  the  defeated  democracies,  and  the  victorious  tyrannies,  have  taught 
us.  These  challenges  the  accelerated  Williams  meets,  energetically  and 
zealously,  with  a  tradition  of  service  and  education  that  began  when  the 
founder  fell  in  battle. 


Williams  At  War 

The  accelerated  Williams  that  liegiiis  next  .semester  —  a  Williams 
that  our  t  radit  ion  of  .service  dictates  shall  be  in  continuous  ses.sioii  for  the 
duration  —  is  designed  for  more  work  in  less  time.  But  to  a.ssume  that 
more  work  in  le.-is  time  is  an  inijiosition  placed  upon  undergraduates  by 
the  college  administration  is  about  as  .stupid  as  saying  that  the  .selsctive 
service  act,  $9,()()(),()()l),000  in  new  war  taxes,  and  a  two-ocean  navy  arc 
impositions  placed  by  Congress  on  the  American  people. 

Imposition  is  very  much  the  wrong  word  to  lie  used  to  describe  action  j  culminating  in  the  meeting  of  Dec.  .W 
taken  to  meet  the  enemy  with  the  eiieiiiy's  fire.     For  if  the  temiier  of  our  | 

nation  and  of  our  college  were  such  that  "time  off"  was  more  importanl  I  I  IT  A     P f'flf'PSi'S      I  3.X

On  Board  Charges 

Fraternity  Treasurers 
Denounce  Applying  New 
Law    to    Social    Groups 

In  a  letter  to  Henry  F.  bong,  Massa- 
chusetts Commissioner  of  Corporations 
and  Taxation,  last  Tuesthu',  the  I'nder- 
graduate  Treasurers'  Association  pro- 
tested the  application  to  Williams  College 
fraternities  of  a  state  law  providing  for  a 
S%  Old  Age  Tax  on  charges  for  all  meals 
served  to  the  public. 

Williams  social  groups  have,  however, 
complied  with  the  Massachusetts  ruling 
which  was  put  into  effect  (jn  January  1, 
1942,  and,  following  a  precedent  recently 
set  by  Amherst  fraternities,  ha\e  registered 
as  eating  houses  under  protest. 

The  letter  asserted  that  "in  no  sense  of 
the  word  do  the  groups  serve  meals  to 
the  public",  and  pointed  out  that  each  of 
the  social  groups  is  restricted  to  members 
of  Williams  College  and  that  each  caters 
only  to  "its  student  members." 

"We  stress",  ran  the  protest,  "that  the 
above  groups  are  run  on  a  non-profit 
basis  to  meet  the  definite  need  of  the 
college." 

The  letter  stated  that  inasmuch  as 
Williams  fraternities  are  not  public  meal 
checks  such  as  are  provided  for  in  the 
registration  blanks  would  be  wholly  un- 
feasible and  that  meals  are  paid  for  on  a 
monthly  basis. 

Rev.  Coleman  to  Speak 
On  London  in  Wartime 

The  Rev.  Michael  Coleman,  acting 
vicar  of  All  Hallows  by  the  Tower,  one  of 
London's  most  historic  churches,  has  seen 
London  "burn  and  learn."  On  Monday, 
January  12,  at  7:45  p.m.  he  will  speak  in 
Jesup  Hall  on  his  wartime  experiences  in 
the  British  capital. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Coleman,  who  is  in  this 
country  at  the  special  rcc|uest  of  The 
British  War  Relief  .Society,  has  experienced 
the  horror  of  total  war,  and  has  seen  the 
reaction  of  the  British  people  under 
Hitler's  aerial  blitz.  He  is  convinced  that 
the  physical  and  spiritual  fibre  of  his 
people  will  see  them  through. 

His  church,  located  on  Tower  Hill  on 
the  south  side  of  the  Thames,  in  the  heart 
of  London,  was  completely  demolished  by 
bombs.  Mr.  Coleman  has  witnessed  the 
destruction  of  his  own  home  and  many  of 
London's  famous  landmarks.  Many  of 
his  friends  have  been  killed,  and  he  him- 
self has  helped  carry  the  bodies  of  the 
dead  and  woinided  from  the  ruins.

moment  since  they  attended  marine 
officer  training  camps  last  summer.  A 
considerable  number  of  lower  classmen 
have  alrc.idy  passed  their  physical  exam- 
inations for  the  air  forces,  but  are  waiting 
to  become  of  age  or  to  finish  their  sopho- 
more year.  In  view  of  these  facts  college 
officials  anticipate  a  large  drop  in  enroll- 
ment at  the  beginning  of  the  next  semester. 

When  Lieutenant  E.  F.  Plank,  U.  S. 
Naval  Reserve,  and  Dr.  Philbrook  visited 
Williams  last  Tuesday  over  a  hundred 
students  were  on  hand  to  seek  information 
regarding  the  training  of  pilots  in  the 
Naval  and  Marine  Reserve.  Forty-six 
men  took  the  preliminary  physical  exam- 
ination that  day.  Over  a  hundred  students 
were  again  present  when  Lieutenant  Plank 
showed  the  motion  picture,  "Eyes  of  the 
Navy"  Tuesday  night. 

Throughout  the  week  numeious  men 
travelled  to  Albany  to  take  the  physical 
examination  for  the  Navy's  V-7  program.

station,  will  telephone  a  half-hour  pro 
gram,  from  4  to  4:30  .Sunday  afternoon 
to  WBRK  in  I'ittsficld.  Plans  call  for 
the  rebroadcast  of  the  program  l;y  the 
Pittsfield  station  throughout  the  Berk- 
shire valley. 

Acting- President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
will  make  a  short  introductory  speech  ex- 
plaining the  purpose  and  nature  of  the 
new  program  series. 

The  Octet  has  brushed  up  on  some  of

Eniirelv  new,  the  ambitious  program 
marks  another  step  forward  for  WM.S  now 
barely  two  years  old.  Future  programs 
will  inclm'e  debates,  round  table  dis-

NEWHALL 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
Williams  measures  for  facing  the  emer- 
gency were  ill  direct  pursuance  of  the 
policy  formulated  at  the  recent  Baltimore 
conference  of  national  educators.  In 
addition  to  advocacy  of  the  accelerated 
academic  year  and  the  establishment  of 
war  training  course,  the  conference  went 
on  record  in  favor  of  the  application  the 
.selective  service  for  war-time  allocation 
of  man-power. 

President  Newhall  pointed  out  that  the 
possibility  of  a  Williams  R.  O.  T.  C.  had 
lieen  ruled  out  at  the  conference.  The 
college  officials  were  informed  by  an  army 
representative  Ihat  the  existing  R.  O.  T.  C. 
units  would  definitely  not  be  expanded. 
The  army  today,  not  including  the  air 
force,  is  not  taking  officer  material  directly 
from  the  colleges  but  is  using  the  present 
armed  forces  as  "feeder"  for  the  officer 
corps.  The  navy  and  the  marine  corps  on 
the  other  hand  have  .special  officer  training 
courses  for  undergraduates  with  at  least 
two  years  of  college  credit. 

FRATERNITY  COSTS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
least  expensive  fraternity  here  was  over 
$30  more  than  the  nnst  ex|x;nsive  frater- 
nity at  Wesleyan. 

Editorial  comment  increased  and  in 
December  1940,  ten  houses  and  the  Gar- 
field Club  announced  their  approval  of  jiny 
plan  to  reduce  fraternity  costs. 

In  January  of  1941,  the  Undergraduate 
Gargoyle  Society,  headed  by  E.  Wayne 
Wilkins  '41,  cited  the  need  for  alumni  aid 
in  the  growing  problem  and  requested  the 
formation  of  a  graduitc  committee  which 
would  investigate  such  programs  as  the 
one  now  in  effect  at  Amherst. 

February    1941    saw  the   organization  I  Pugh,  Jr.  '43.

backstroke  events.

Harvard  Six  Routs 
Purple  Skaters,  7-1 

Williams  Squad  Reaches 
Placid  Tourney  Finals 
But   Drops  Colgate   Tilt 

Seriously  hampered  by  lack  of  practice, 
Whoops  Snively's  skaters  journeyed  to 
Boston  Wednesday  night  to  take  a  sound 
shellacking  from  the  Harvard  sl.\,  and  go 
down  to  tiefeat,  7-1.  It  was  the  fourth 
triumph  of  the  season  (or  the  Crimson, 
while  Williams  was  having  her  first  reg- 
ularly-scheduled game. 

Superior  speed,  and  advanced  stick- 
handling  told  the  tale  on  the  Boston 
Skating  Club  ice,  and  Harvaril  had  both. 
They  scored  at  least  two  g(jals  in  each 
period,  with  three  In  a  wild  and  wool>- 
second  stanza.  Willlanis  was  able  to 
penetrate  the  Harvard  defenses  only  a  few 
times  In  the  whole  game,  and  one  of  those 
times  Bob  Nichols  counted  on  a  pass  from 
Ted  Brown. 

Cantabs  Tally  First 

Opening  the  game  aggressively,  the 
Crimson  could  not  score  until  more  than 
four  minutes  had  passed,  when  Johnny 
Paine  back-handed  a  shot  past  Captain 
Hannock  for  the  lirst  goal. 

Nichols  Scores  For  Williams 

The  Purple  skaters  came  on  the  ice  at 
the  beginning  of  the  second  period  deter- 
nilnetl  to  score,  and  Brown  evaded  the 
Cantab  defensenien,  after  capturing  the 
puck,  long  enough  to  get  off  a  pass  to 
Nichols,  who  pushed  the  puck  past  the 
Harvard    goalie,    making    the    score    2-1. 

In  the  I'mal  minutes  of  the  game.  Coach 
Snively  removed  Marsh  Hannock  from 
the  nets,  and  sent  him  down  ice  in  a  last- 
ditch  attempt  to  score,  but  even  this 
measure  failed,  and  the  game  ended  shortly 
after. 

In  the  annual  intercollegiate  hockey 
invitation  tournament,  which  is  a  feature 
of  College  Week  at  Lake  Placid,  Sniveh's 
rinkmcn  went  to  the  finals  before  being 
beaten  5-1  by  the  same  Colgate  team  that 
stood  between  them  and  the  Samuel 
Packer  Trophy  last  year,  and  that  they 
roflted  7-1  on  Cole  Field  last  February. 

BASKETBALL

never  relinquished  it. 

Brooklyn  Poly  ran  Its  string  of  con- 
quests to  six  last  Saturday  evening  when 
they  came  from  behind  In  the  last  minute 
of  play  to  eke  out  a  44-43  victory.  Sur- 
ging ahead  from  the  opening  whistle  by 
virtue  of  four  ringers  by  Bob  Wallace,  and 
three  pivot  shots  by  Barter,  the  courtmen 
ran  up  a  24-18  advantage  just  before  the 
half.  A  desperate  rally  by  the  home 
forces  tied  the  count  at  24  all  as  the  gun 
went  off. 

The  Brooklynltes  continued  their  surge 
after  the  half  when  they  chalked  up  ten 
more  markers  before  the  Ephs  could  score 
a  point.  After  an  exchange  of  buckets, 
the  Purple  put  on  their  own  rally  and 


finally  caught  I'oly  at  M  apiece.  With 
but  a  minute  to  go  Jack  1  larter  made  a  bid 
as  hero  of  the  evening  when  he  sank  a  set 
shot  from  the  side  to  put  the  visitors  back 
into  the  lead,  43-41. 
But  Poly  came  right  back  to  deadlock 


the  score  again  when  Charley  Murray 
converted  his  sixth  basket  of  the  iiiulu  ^i 
a  fast  break.  With  less  than  fifteen  s.i„|„|j 
remaining,  forward  Charley  Walsh  dnw  a 
foul  and  cooly  sunk  the  winning  tally  from 
the  penalty  line.

Joaquin  Nin-Culmell 

Nin-Culmell  Gives 
Thompson  Concert 

Piano  Recital  by  Music 
Instructor  to  Be  Held 
In  AMT  Tuesday  Night 

Joacpiin  Nin-Culniell,  instructor  of 
music  at  Williams,  will  play  the  piano  in 
the  fourth  concert  tif  the  Thompson  Con- 
cert .Series  tomorrow  evening  in  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre. 

Born  in  Cuba,  Mr.  Nin-Culmell  has 
long  been  interested  in  Ibero-.^merican 
music  as  a  link  which  might  be  a  means  of 
promoting  better  relations  between  the 
Americas.  Many  have  called  him  a  self- 
appointed  ambassador  of  good  will  in  the 
field  of  iiiusic. 

Rich  Inheritance 

The  guest  artist's  musical  inheritance  is 
rich,  his  father  being  J()a(|uin  Nin,  Cuban- 
born  Spanish  pianist  and  cclitor:  his 
mother,  Rosa  Culmell,  Franco-Danish 
singer  while  his  god-mother  was  Teresa 
Carreno,  a  famous  Wnezuelan  pianist. 

Mr.  Nin-Culniell  has  studied  in  Eng- 
land, .Spain,  and  France,  ])ublishing  his 
first  work,  "Thri'c  Impressions",  in  1928. 
During  the  last  six  years,  he  has  i)la\ed  his 
Ibero-American  nnisic  at  Dartmimth, 
Mid(llebur\',  Columbia,  the  Beethoven 
Association,  and  at  many  other  colleges, 
.schools,  and  clubs. 

Tomorrow's  Program 

His  program  tomorrow  night  will 
include  "Concerto  in  the  Italian  St\le"  by 
Bach,  two  sonatas  by  Padre  Galles,  the 
Miller's  dance  l)\'  Falla,  "Distant  Sara- 
band" by  J.  Roderigo,  "Danza  de  la 
Pastura"  and  "Danza  de  la  Gitana"  by 
E.  Halffter,  ".Sonata  ()|).  35"  by  Chopin, 
and  one  of  his  own  works  called  "In 
Memoriam  Padercwski." 

Emotional  Power 

It  has  been  said  that  the  young  artist 
"shows  a  hne  ta.ste  and  musicianship  in  his 
interpretations.  His  fingers  fairly  fly  over 
the  ke\s  with  a  brilliant  and  consistent 
emotional  power  that  is  both  refreshing 
and  sincere." 

Mr.  Nin-Culmell  has  appeared  over  the 
radio  several  times  as  guest  artist  with 
well-known  orchestras.  Tomorrow's  re- 
cital will  be  the  first  of  two  scheduled  for 
the  music  instructor  in  this  year's  series 
of  concerts. 


WilliamB  Innovates 

Course  in  Japanese 

According  to  latest  information 
from  the  Dean's  office  a  course  in 
Japanese  will  be  given  at  Williams 
next  semester.  Although  the  instruc- 
tor of  this  subject  has  not  been  deter- 
mined yet,  he  will  be  a  member  of  the 
present  faculty  who  studied  the  lan- 
guage several  years  ago.  This  class 
is  designed  to  meet  the  government's 
acute  need  for  reliable  interpreters  of 
that  tongue  as  expressed  by  Acting- 
President  Richard  A.  Newhall  at  the 
college  meeting  last  week.

A   trip  which    commenced   as   a   quiet  literar\-  .study,   became   a  dynamic    illus- 
tration of  the  powerful   teclini(|ue  of  totalitarian   activitx',   for  Albert    B.    h'ranklin 
assistant  professor  of  Romanic   Languages,  who   went    to  South   America   in    1940   t( 
study  social  and  political  backgrounds  of  contemporary  South  American    literature 
Twice  Elected  President  ' 

I  )uring  this  study  he  encountered  \'ictor 
Raul  Haya  de  la  Torre,  head  of  the  APKA, 
or  under-ground  people's  party  in  Peru. 
Haya,  whom  John  Gunther  has  termed 
"one  of  the  great  personages  of  America," 
has  twice  been  elected  President  of  Peru, 
but  his  votes  have  been  voided  by  the 
present  government,  run  b\'  a  small  oli- 
garchy, composed  of  the  'ten  families',  and 
the  military  leaders  of  Peru,  according  to 
Gum  her. 

Haya  made  the  following  statement  to 
Professor  Franklin  on  June  27,  1940,  less 
than  eighteen  months  ago.

Haya's  statement : 

"What  is  happening  in  my  countr\-  is  of

Variety  Show  Programs 
Using  All  Local  Talent 
High-Light  New  Set-Up 

Plans  for  the  sponsoring  of  two  com- 
munity entertainments  highlight  the  deci- 
sions reached  b\-  the  Committee  of  the 
Adams  Memorial  Theatre  in  last  Monday's 
po!ic>-niaking  meeting.  Warren  Hunke 
'42,  one  of  two  student  representatives  on 
the  committee,  indicates  that,  by  com- 
nmnity  entertainment,  the  Theatre  Com- 
mittee means  exaclK-  what  it  says. 

Talent  from  the  student  body,  faculty, 
town  and  nearby  communities  such  as 
North  Adams  will  be  welcome  to  parti- 
cipate in  the  programs.  The  entertain- 
ments will  be  essentially  variety  shows 
embracing  such  performances  as  one-act 
plays,  piano  exhibitions,  entertainment 
ilancing,  sleight-of-hand  tricks,  possible 
appearances  of  the  Purple  Knights,  and 
other  similar  acts. 
Minimize    Budget,    Admission    Price 

The  entertainments,  designeil  to  be 
produced  on  a  minimum  budget  and  to 
have  the  lowest  admission  price  possible, 
will  have  all  profits  donated  to  the  coffers 
of  the  I'SO.  The  AMT  Conuuittee  will 
supervise  the  shows.  Hunke  also  points 
out  that  there  exists  a  possibility  that  the 
shows  may  go  on  a  tour  of  nearby  army 
camps  such  as  F'ort  Devens  and  Fort 
Edwards. 

Drive  To  Find  Talent 

The  director  and  a.ssistant  director  of 
the  AMT  have  already  launche<l  a  cam- 
paign to  locate  variety  show  talent  avail- 
able in  VVilliam.stown,  North  Adams,  and 
vicinity.  To  do  this,  one  student  in  each 
organized  social  group  of  the  college  and  a 
member  of  each  of  the  various  other  local 
groups  is  appointed  to  act  as  theatre  repre- 
sentative in  his  own  organization.  By 
this  means,  potential  performers  and  back- 
stage workers  can  be  located  and  ap- 
proached. Those  not  contacted  in  this 
way  are  urged  to  contact  cither  Max  H. 
Flowers  or  James  E.  Michael  at  the  AMT; 
opportunities  to  take  part  back-stage  as 
well  as  to  perform  arc  open  to  everyone. 
Slade  Directs  Plays 

First  on  the  program  for  the  coming 
semester  is  a  production  of  three  one-act 
plays  scheduled  for  Saturday,  Feb.  28. 
The  first  of  these  is  The  Organ  Grinder,  to 
be  directed  by  its  author  Lawrence  Slade 
'44,  next  on  the  program  is  a  German  play, 
Der  fahrende  Schuler  im  Paradies  by  Hans 
Sachs  and  to  be  directed  by  Mfs.  Henry 
Hatfield  and  Slade.  The  final  number  is 
slated  to  be  the  winning  play  in  the  one- 
act  play  contest  just  ended.  Twelve 
scripts  were  submitted  and  arc  now  in  the 
hands  of  the  judges,  Messrs.  Frederick  L. 
Schuman,  H.  D.  Smith  and  Michele  A. 
Vaccariello.  Student  director  is  to  be 
determined  after  the  winning  play  is 
announced.

Humby  Quintana,  Coach  Dale  Burnett's 
varsity  courtmen  staged  a  dazzling  ex- 
hibition of  basketball  in  the  final  six 
minutes  of  action  Saturday  night  on  the 
Lasell  surface  to  overcome  M.I.T.,  46-38, 
in  an  exciting  but  poorh-played  contest. 

The  invaders  snared  an  early  lead  on  the 
momentary  spectacular  shooting  of  their 
burly  right  forward  George  Marakas. 
Sinking  three  of  his  first  four  shots  in 
addition  to  a  penalty  throw,  he  personally 
handed  the  Red  an  8-2  advantage  after 
five  minutes  of  action.  Only  some  ragged 
and  hard  luck  sliooting  preventeil  the

the  Engineers  at  13-all.  1  latter  put  the 
home  forces  out  in  front  for  a  short  time 
with  a  pair  of  follow-ups  of  loopers  by 
Quintana  and  Monk  Stanley,  but  here  the 
shakey  M.I.T.  combine  stitTeiied  and  dead-

WMS  Inaugurates 
WBRK  Broadcasts 

Baxter  Cites  Students 
For  Station ;  Burnett, 
Octet   Also   on    Program 

Pres.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd.,  introduced 
the  new  Williams  College  program  over 
WBRK,  Pittsfield  yesterday,  inaugurating 
a  series  of  broadcasts  whose  purpose  is  to 
give  Berkshire  X'alley  listeners  a  "sample 
of  what  goes  on  in  the  college  itself." 

William  C.  Schrani  '43  introduced  Dr. 
Baxter  who  began  his  talk  by  saying  that 
Williams  was  founded  in  1 793  as  the 
"Athens  of  Western  Massachusetts,"  and 
that  150  years  later  she  is  still  conscious 
of  her  position  and  responsibilities  as  an 
educational  institution. 

Baxter    Lauds    I/VMS 

Lauding  WMS  as  "one  of  the  best 
known  college  radio  stations  of  its  type," 
President  Baxter  congratulated  its  staff 
on  its  fine  work  since  the  founding  of  the 
station  a  little  over  two  years  ago.  He 
also  praised  Monroe  England  '18,  director 
of  WBRK,  for  his  cooperation  in  making 
this  series  of  programs  possible. 

Concluding  his  remarks  with  reference 
to  the  World  War,  the  President  declared 
that  men  with  training  which  colleges  like 
Williams  offer,  would  find  a  "lasting 
peace"  for  the  workl. 

Ootat  Sings 

The  Glee  Club  Octet,  introduced  and 
led  by  Warren  G.  Hunke  '42,  sang  two 
groups  of  songs,  including  "Katie  Malonc" 
and  "I  Love  the  Ladies."

Alumni  to  Recommend 
Final  Form  to  Houses 
This  Week,   Linder  Says 

I'inal  form  of  the  plan  to  be  termed  the 
"Campus  Business  Management  at  Wil- 
liams College"  was  determined  at  a  meet- 
ing of  the  .'\lumni  Committee  at  the 
Williams  Club  of  New  York  Frida\'  night, 
according  to  Chairman  Fred  E.  Linder  '12, 
and  "a  complete  report  for  recommenda- 
lioii  to  till'  fraternities  and  the  Garfield 
Club  was  adopted." 

Owing  to  the  naturi'  of  the  situation, 
however,  Mr.  Linder  declined  further 
eommeiU  on  the  actual  form  to  be  recom- 
mended until  action  has  be<>n  taken  by  the 
president  of  thi'  alumni  organization  of 
each  fraternity,  of  the  Garlield  Cub,  and 
of  the  Society  of  Alumni. 

In  a  telephcme  interview  from  his  home 
in  Staten  Island  yesterday,  Mr.  Linder 
stated  that  the  recommendations  decitled 
upon  at  the  Dec.  ,30  iind  Jan.  ')  meetings 
would  be  put  into  mimeograph  form  and 
forwarded  to  the  fraternities  and  to  the 
alumni  presidents  some  time  this  week. 

In  anniiuneing  the  action  of  the  com- 
mittee, Chairman  Linder  said,  "The  cimi- 
mittee  has  unanimously  voted  to  recom- 
mend the  pinmpt  establishment  of  a  busi- 
ness management,  to  be  called  the  Campus 
Business  Management  at  Williams  College, 
for  the  various  fraternities  and  the  Garlield 
Club. 

"In  ni>'  opinion,"  eontinui-d  the  coiii- 
niittee  chairman,  "such  a  plan  eiiuld  not 
possibly  go  into  effect  until  around  March 
1,  but  at  least  the  foundati(ms  have  been 
laid.  We  shall  expect  definite  action  on 
tla  recomnundaM  .'lis  hy  the  fraternitie,'; 
and  the  Garfield  Club  not  later  than  Feb. 
22." 

Chairman  Liiuler  asserted  his  utmost 
confidence  in  the  plan  advocated  by  the 
alumni  representatives  of  each  of  the  fra- 
ternities and  of  the  Garlield  Club,  anfl,  in 
response  to  a  report  of  criticism  on  the 
score  that  such  a  plan  might  involve  more 
expenses  than  it  could  eliminate,  stated 
that  "the  committee  has  gone  into  every 
phase  of  the  questitm  and  would  nol  have 
adopted  such  a  course  had  it  ihougin  such 
would  be  the  aise." 

Asked  whether  his  conuuittee  would 
continue  to  function,  Mr.  Linder  replied 
that  although  there  was  little  remaining 
within  their  jurisdiction  to  be  done,  the 
various  repri'sentatives  woul  1  complete 
the  job  of  filling  out  reports,  receiving  and 
investigating  replies  to  the  recommeiKla- 
tions.  He  al.so  said  that  they  would 
probably  conduct  a  graduate  di.srussion 
on  the  subject  at  the  mid-winter  lionie- 
coniing  on  Feb.  22. 

%vX  Speeds  Publication 
For  April  20  Deadline 


Paper,      Metal      Shortages 
Will    Not    Stop    Annual 

.\s  a  result  of  recent  (le\elopments  in  the 
college  scholastic  program,  the  1942  'GuP 
Board  has  planned  a  speed-up  schedule 
advancing  its  publication  dale  from  late 
May  to  .^llril  20,  Business  Manager 
Edward  L.  Emerson  '43  announced  last 
night. 

Characterized  by  a  new  informality  in 
pictures  and  style,  the  annual  will  stress 
the  military  angle  wherever  possible, 
including  all  available  pictures  of  some- 
time members  of  1942  now  serving  with 
the  armed  forces.  There  will  he  no  group 
pictures  foriuall>-  posed  for  the  issue  hut 
the  photographer  is  attending  extra- 
curricular activity  meetings  to  take  candid 
snapshots.  Only  the  House  pictures  will 
be  arranged  as  before.  All  pictures  will 
be  taken  by  the  professional  photographer 
climating  the  amateur  snaps  of  former 
years. 

Despite  national  shortages  of  paper  and 
metal,  the  Board  has  been  assured  that  the 
needed  supplies  for  cuts  and  publication 
can  be  secured. 

The  Gul  will  send  copies  to  all  sub- 
scribers who  have  left  college  at  the  time 
of  publication.

Fraternity  Finances 

The  lucky  .st<ars  of  a  lot  of  Williams  fraternity  treasurers  and  stewards 
should  he  eoining  in  for  a  }?ood  deal  of  thanking  tliese  days.  It  is  fortunate 
that  agitation  for  a  form  of  cooperative  management  for  Williams  began 
here  over  three  years  ago,  before  fraternity  officers  were  thinking  about 
what  war  wouhl  do  to  their  books.  It  is  fortunate  that  agitation  began 
long  enoiigli  ii^o  lo  make  fr.tternity  management  pos.siblc  toda.v,  becaii.so 
there  can  be  no  doubt  about  the  willingne.ss  of  all  fraternity  officers  to 
welcome  iiioiicy-.saving  devices. 

Last  spriiij;  there  was  certainl.y  a  good  (leal  of  undergraduate  skejiti- 
cism  about  fraternity  l)iisinc.ss  management,  and  today  there  nuist  be  some 
men  and  .soiuo  cooks  who  will  find  it  difficult  to  overthrow  prejudices 
which  lliey  liave  nurtured  against  any  cooperative  bu.sine.ss  venture. 
The  war,  nonelheiess,  has  done  a  lot  to  make  inevitable  the  accei)tance  of 
a  plan  which  was  imperative,  on  its  own  merits,  as  an  impleinciit  in  lower- 
ing tlie  high  cost  of  living  at  Williams. 

Tiic  alumni  committee  which  has  worked  diligently  since  last  spring 
in  perl'ecliiig  the  plan,  .soon  to  be  presented  to  each  fraternity,  deserves 
the  warmest  kind  of  thanks  from  the  undergraduate  body.  All  Williams 
men  owe  them  full  .a])prcciation  for  the  .service  iliey  have  made  to  their 
college,  and  to  I  heir  fraternities.  A  ])ian  of  cooperative  management  may 
be  just  the  mechanism  that  will  enable  Williams'  .social  organizations  to 
survive  the  financial  ordeals  of  this  war. 

Some  fraternities  may  still  be  unimpressed  with  the  economies  which 
are  i)romised  by  the  new  Campus  Hu.siness  Management,  as  .some  are 
still  uniuii)re.sse<l  i)y  the  recent  re])ort  of  Mr.  Wood's  committee  urging 
dra.stie  economies  in  the  management  of  each  fraternity.  It  will  not  take 
many  more  weeks,  and  tin-  decrea.se  in  the  enrollment  of  the  college  and 
thi'  houses  which  tlu'.sc  weeks  will  bring,  to  make  every  hou.se  realize  that 
there  is  a  terrific  job  of  girding  to  be  done  if  it  is  to  .survive.  The  new 
Campus  Hii.sine.ss  Management  certainly  offers  them  some  lioijc,  but  the 
internal  economics  .should  begin  now.  For  we  need  not  be  Schunians  to 
anticipate  the  financial  problems  of  Williams  fraternities  six  months  and 
a  year  from  now. 

There  are  .some  peo])le  talking  about  this  war  in  terms  of  a  .social 
revolution  so  inclusive  that  fraternities  will  have  no  place  in  the  world 
after  the  war.  We  are  so  sure  that  the  kind  of  world  we  are  fighting  for 
includes  the  values  fraternities  leach  us,  that  every  ))recaution  must  be 
taken  today  to  make  .sure  that  fraternities  are  here  when  l:he  war  is  over.

Volunteers       Man       Posts 
To  Aid  Plane  Detection 

As  part  of  a  move  to  insure  |)rotection 
against  air  raids  on  the  coastal  reginn  of 
the  Uniied  .States,  the  American  legion 
conducts  a  twenty-four  hour  watch  over 
Williamstown  from  jxists  located  at 
Northwest  Mill  and  at  Wilson  Williams' 
farm  on  the  Hancock  Ro.id.  The  legion- 
naires function  as  an  actual  branch  of  the 
army  utilizing  the  services  of  civilian 
volunteers. 

According  to  Louis  K.  Bass,  proprietor 
of  a  local  gasoline  station  and  legionnaire 
in  charge  of  this  <listrict,  220  men  and 
women  from  Williamstown  have  already 
applied  to  help  niiintain  the  two-man 
watch  It  each  of  the  above  posts.  Bass 
stated  that  there  is  an  immediate  need  for 
four  he.ivy  overoats  foi  air  raid  sentries. 
.Anyone  able  to  don  ite  a  coat  should  leave 
it  at  the  Recokd  ofhce  from  where  it  will 
be  delivered  to  one  of  the  lookout  stations. 

Known  as  "the  eyes  and  the  ears  of  the 
army,"  the   Legion   posts  spot  airplanes

London  Vicar  Gives 
War  Talk  Tonight 

Rev.  Coleman  Will  Relate 
Experiences  as  Leader 
Of   All   Hallows    Church 

The  Rev.  Michael  Coleman,  whose  war 
time  experiences  as  acting  vicar  of  historic 
All  Hallows  Church  in  London  have  given 
him  an  insight  i[ito  the  Hritish  character, 
will  lecture  tonight  at  7:4,S  in  Jesup  Hall 
on  the  topic  "l.oiulon  Burns  and  Learns." 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Coleman's  church,  located 
on  Tower  Hill  on  the  south  side  of  the 
Thames,  in  the  heart  of  London,  has  been 
com|)letely  demolished  by  bombs,  and  Mr. 
Coleman  himself  was  forced  to  stand  helj)- 
lessly  by  and  watch  his  home  destroyed 
and  his  friends  killed.  From  these  exper- 
iences he  has  acrpiired  a  keen  appreciation 
of  the  necessary  spiritual  values  engender- 
ed by  the  need  of  adjusting  ourselves  to  a 
world  at  war. 

The  Re\'.  Mr.  Coleman  is  a  graduate  of 
Hradfield  College,  lierkshire,  and  holds  his 
Ordination  Degree  from  the  Lincoln 
Theological  Seminary.  1  le  has  served  as 
curate  in  several  Knglish  parishes,  and  in 
19.15  he  was  sent  to  Western  Canada  as 
administrator  for  ihe  organization  known 
as  Toe  H.  In  lO.IS  he  became  acting 
vicar  at  All  Hallows,  the  guild  church  of 
Toe  II. 

Mr.  Coleman,  at  the  special  re(piest  of 
the  British  War  Relief  Society,  arrived  in 
this  country  earl>'  in  I'Ml  after  a  haz.ird- 
ous  sixteen-da>'  crossing  in  a  convoy 
which  lost  several  ships  to  (ierman  raiders. 

In  describing  his  work  of  today  Mr. 
Coleman  si>s,  "We  ha\e  a  new  and  fas- 
cinating job  to  do.  We  are  friend,  parent, 
comforter,  gni<le,  teacher,  jihysician.  We 
are  the  indestruclilile  church  in  war."

Colleges   Accelerate  as   Sports'   Schedules 
And  Entrance-Graduation  Demands  Are  Cut 

Kducation-.d  institulions  throughout  the  country  are  ailopiing  accelerated  programs 
as  Union  cut  a  week  oil  ils  Christmas  vacation,  t.ie  University  -f  Nirlh  Caiolina 
announced  that  it  will  accept  applicants  who  have  comi  leted  their  sophomore 
year  in  high  school,  and  Dartmouth  cancelled  its  winter  carnival  and  spring 
sports  schedule.  In  addition  to  speeding  up  acidemic  schedules,  air  raid  precautions 
have  been  taken  with  repair  crews  and  emergency  battalions  already  formal  on 
many  cimpuses  of  the  nation. 

Optional   Basis  "^ 


Only  variance  in  the  academic  speed-up 
prograins  planned  by  the  men's  colleges 
of  the  nation  is  that  some,  such  as  Cornell, 
Dartmouth,  Harvard,  Princeton,  and  ^'ale. 
are  offering  it  on  an  optional  basis.  Of 
these  five,  N'alc  is  the  only  one  that  has 
not  yet  done  away  with  its  spring  \acation. 

L'nion's  move  which  took  a  week  off  its 
Christmas  vacation  was  part  cf  a  plan 
that  came  from  the  student  body.  The 
Dean  of  North  Carolina  ex])lained  that 
the  move  to  take  in  |)ublic  school  students 
wdio  have  completed  their  tenth  year  is 
purely  experimental.  Old y  men  osf  super- 
ior <|ualification  who  can  pass  the  cust- 
omar\'  entrance  examinations  will  be  ac- 
cepted. Brown  has  agreed  to  take  in  high 
school  juniors  on  the  same  basis. 
Dartmouth  Ban 

At  a  meeting  in  Burlington,  \  t.  before 
Christmas    vacation,    Dartmouth's    track 


Harvard  will  give  special  "wcr  certif- 
icates" to  all  undergraduates  who  with- 
draw from  college  it  emer  the  armed 
forces  before  the  campletion  of  the  re- 
()uiremcnts  for  a  degiee.  The  only 
provision  is  that  those  men  be  in  good 
standing  and  have  finishe<l  one  year  of 
satisfactory  work.  .Students  who  leave 
that  university  to  enter  specialized  train- 
ing in  the  graduate  schools  there  will  gel 
certificates  of  "honorable  withdrawal" 
if  they  \vi\v  finished  three  successful  years. 
25  Elis  Enlist 

At  ^'ale  only  twenty-five  men,  or  one- 
half  of  one  percent  of  the  student  body, 
have  left  college  to  enlist.  Key  buildings 
of  that  university  have  .dready  been  safe- 
guarded by  sanilbags  while  spotters' look- 
outs have  been  erected  on  all  tall  campus 
structures.

PERU 


(Continued  from  page  1) 

Army,  armed  and  slrategically  placed  to 
control  the  counlr\'  by  means  of  a  vast 
native  arm\'  which  ma>'  easily  reach  the 

total  of  eighty   thousand   men The 

Italians  hold  the  linances,  the  Germans  the 
political  connnand,  and  the  Japanese  the 
Army.  The  "Kifth  Column"  in  Peru 
functions  with  wide  official  support.  The 
new  Minister  of  War  (General  Fuentes) 
was  our  Ambassador  Extraordinary-  t<i 
Japan  two  years  ago,  and  at  thai  time 
declared: 

'1  think  thousanils  and  ihcmsands  more 
Japanese  should  be  brought   to  Peru- 

I'he  Japanese  and  (jermans  are  working 
together  here  with   full   understanding. 

"Many  Japanese  nmnicipal  Intendants 
(Prefects  of  Police)  havebeennamedby  this 
government:  The  Head  of  the  Comnmne 
of  Maldonaldo,  capital  of  Madre  de  Dios 
(Province)  is  a  Japanese:  so  is  the  Inten- 
danl  of  the  city  of  A\-acucho,  and  ihal  of 

\'iru,  near  Trujillo " 

Descended  from  Pizarro's  Men 

There  is  lillle  doubt  that  Ha\a  de  la 
Torre  speaks  reliabh'.  He  is  one  of  Peru's 
famous  "ten  families',  descended  from  the 
loyal  lieutenanls  of  Pizarro,  and  he  has 
studied  al  Oxford,  and  lectured  at  Harvard 
I'niver.sity  here.  In  June  1927  he  spoke 
at  a  Williams  Summer  Conference  on 
International  Relali(ms.  He  has  not 
claimed  his  office  as  President  onl\-  becau.se 
he  does  not  believe  in  shedding  blood  in  a 
civil  war,  wdiich  would  result  from  such  an 
action. 

Although  the  Japanese  have  penetrated 
to  some  degree  into  Mexico,  Columbia, 
and  Ecuador,  nowhert'  has  their  success 
been  so  great  as  in  Peru.  Mexico  has  sent 
an  expedition  to  rout  the  Japs  from  lower 
California,  and  Columbia  has  offered  us 
bases  for  operation  against  the  Japanese. 
Jap,  Peruvian  HaHbreeds  Much  Alike 

This  penetration  has  succeeded  so  well 
mostly  because  there  is  a  strong  siniilarit\' 
between  the  Jap  and  the  Peruvian  half- 
breed,  both  in  stature  and  in  physiogimmy. 
Other  nations  in  South  America,  such  as 
the  Argentines  and  Brazilians,  regard  the 
Japs  as  an  inferior  race,  and  will  have 
little  to  do  with  them.  A  second  important 
factor  is  the  conmiercial  hold  the  Japanese 
have  gained  in  the  smaller  towns  and  cities. 

A  hopeful  note  was  sounded  Wednesday, 
December  10,  when  the  Peruvian  Congress 
made  a  declaration  of  solidarity  with  the 
United  States,  but  this  was  very  loosely 
worded,  and  cannot  be  compared  with  the 
tangible  assistance  and  declarations  of 
other  Latin-American  nations. 


Williams  Courses  Fill 
Naval  Requirements 

Adequate  preparation  in  math  and 
science  courses  is  the  chief  need  of  candi- 
dates for  ofticer-lraining,  the  Navy  de- 
partment said,  in  a  recent  niitionwide 
release  to  all  college  newspapiTs.  This 
widespread  lack  is  a  hindering  factor  in 
our  program  of  accelerated  defense  efforts. 
Trigonometry  is  considered  the  most  vital 
in  ihis  field. 

Asking  the  co-operation  of  all  education- 
al institutions  in  aiding  the  Nav\'  in  obtain- 
ing and  training  personnel,  the  release 
stressed  the  fact  that  the  Navy  fixing 
program,  known  as  ihe  \'-5  course,  per- 
mits college  juniors  and  seniors  to  com- 
plete their  academic  careers.  Sophomores, 
juniors,  and  seniors  enlisting  in  the  \'-7 
course  for  naval  officers  will  be  permillcd 
to  finish  the  present  college  \ear. 

\arious  existing  and  newly-created 
courses  fill  other  Nav\-  needs,  while  WMS' 
course  in  the  International  Morse  Code 
answers  another  refjuirement.  Existin:.^ 
Ph\'sics  courses  cover  the  fields  of  ele- 
mentary radio  and  communications,  and 
the  demands  of  Elementary  Navigati:in 
are  more  than  met  by  the  new  Aslrononn 
4x  course.

For  April  House  Parties;

The  Hoard  of  I  directors  of  Cap  and  Bells, 
Inc.  met  Wednesday  afternoon  to  form  ihe 
policy  for  thai  organization  during  the 
balance  of  the  school  year.  By  ihe  unani- 
mous decision  of  the  members  of  the  board, 
plans  for  Ca|)  and  Bidls'  two  major  forth- 
coming pniduci ions— "Awake  and  Sing," 
heduled  fur  March  1.^  and  14,  and  the 
house  parl\  musical  comeih'  -!ia\'e  been 
Lbaiul<iin-ii. 
Reasons    for    Curtailing    Production 

As  reasons  for  this  drastic  action  the 
board  off'iTs  two  points  lo  support  scrap- 
ping each  of  the  ])roduetions.  As  for 
Awake  and  Sing",  the  decision  was 
reached  thai  (1)  ihe  students  wouUln'l 
have  Ihe  necessars'  lime  lo  devote,  anil  (2) 
besides  the  question  of  liiiances,  the  nature 
of  this  wi'ighlN'  and  somewhat  miiibid  play 
would  be  unsuil:ible.  The  decision  lo 
terminate  plans  for  a  hous;' part\ musical 
was  an  easy  one  lo  re.ich  since  no  such  mus- 
ical has  as  \-el  been  written  and  it  istoolate 
n  iw  111  start  one.  Here  again  lhei|Uestion 
if  linances  and  the  amount  of  lime  that 
could  be  devoted  b\  the  students  was  a 
major  deciding  factor. 

'Thi'  Board  nf  I  )ireclors,  however,  has  by 
lo  means  completely  given  up  the  idea  of 
having  some  sort  of  hous.- parly  produc- 
tion, if  there  are  bouse  parlies.  'Tentative 
plans,  hinging  on  how  much  of  an  increased 
load  the  forthcoming  class  siheduli'  places 
on  the  sludenl,  are  alreaily  under  con- 
sideration. .-\n  idea  which  was  presented 
and  received  much  favor  embraced  the 
possibilil\  nf  putting  on  a  light  coniedx'  of 
one  set  and  having  a  smallcasi .  A  play  of  this 
sort  wonil  reipiirc  inlensilieil.  but  short, 
practice  sessions  plus  the  possible  casting 
of  girls  from  Bennington  or  Sniilh  (as  was 
done  in  the  1941  summer)  if  such  a  ihing 
could  be  arranged. 

.■\  suggestion  that  ("ap  and  Bills  should 
purchase,  with  existent  funds  from  ils 
treasury,  I'nited  States  Defense  Bonds 
was  also  met  with  enthusiaslic  approval. 
The  concensus  of  opinion  among  1  he  mem- 
bers of  the  board  is  thai  the  chances  of 
pulling  on  a  play  are  sliglil  and  that  the 
defense  bonds  should  be  purchased,  any

branches  of  the  service — to  mention  but  a  few.  The  fact  remains  however,  we  must  convert  a  large  part  of  otir

^Records*  of  World  War  I  Tell  of  Trenches, 
Uniforms  on  Completely  Military  Campus 

St lulciits  (Irc'ssi'd  in  olivi- (Iral)  uniforms  iiiarchiiiH  (nini  class  to  class,  courses  in 
niilitar\  art,  and  the  (linyinj;  of  trenches  near  the  present  hockey  rink  were  a  few 
of  llu-  war  time  innovations  at  Williamslown  during  World  War  I  accorilin;,'  to 
l')17-l')18  editions  of  PuK  l<i-iconi).  While  President  Harry  A.  (iarlield  was  at  work 
in  Washington  as  National  Fuel  Administrator,  Williams  dropped  everything  to 
imparl'  men  for  the  American  Kxpeilitionary  Forces. 
Military  Science  Course  * 

ICven    before   the    I'nited    Slates' entry 


into  tlu'  conflict  a  six-hour  course  in  mili- 
tar\'  science  was  olTered  by  the  college 
through  the  backing  of  government  funds. 
L  pon  the  declaration  of  war  forty-three 
students  left  college  inmiediately  t 
government    training   camps. 

I'hose  who  sta>ed  at  Williams  were  able 
to  take  K.  O.  r.  C.  instruction.  Three 
courses  in  Military  Art  were  started  with 


tually  suspending  publication  until  Jan- 
uary, 1918  it  was  typical  of  campus  life 
that  was  not  direclh'  connected  with  the 
war  or  with  students'  receiving  their 
diplomas.  In  1917  the  football  team  beat 
o  go  to  Ix'tli  Cornell  an<l  Columbia.  The  follow- 
ing year  intercollegiate  football  gave  way 
to  the  training  program. 

Although  a    kEi-oiin   editorial    inferred 
that     undergraduates    were    shirking    in 


admittance  to  the  latter  two  based  on  their  studying  of  regular  curriculum  sub- 
previous  military  experience.  Credit  was  ;  K'cts,  an  article  in  the  Alunnii  Rei'ieiv  of 
given  for  these  courses  on  the  same  basis

Training  Camp 

In  the  smunier  of  1917  Williams  became 
a  training  camp  for  all  sulifreshnien. 
Undergraduates  and  alumni.  By  including 
subfreshnien  Williams  becante  one  of  the 
few  camps  in  the  country  without  a  mini- 
mum age  limit.  When  the  college  opened 
in  the  fall  of  1918  theri'  was  no  more 
Kkcoui),  Campand  Cinnpus,  a  publication 
with  an  entiri'ly  differ<'nt  staff  took  its 
place.  It  had  gcme  the  way  of  most  extra- 
curricular activities,  including  athletics 
and  fraternity  life.  The  Student  Army 
Training  Corps  was  inaugurated  in  .Sep- 
tember, 1918,  which  demanded  the  ser- 
vices of  all  physically  able  studeiUs. 
Diploma  Concentration 

I'p  to  the  time  of  its  suspension  'Tiik 
l<Kconn  printed  military  problems  and 
passages  from  drill  books  for  which  Mili- 
tary Art  students  were  held  responsible. 
I'irst  cutting  down  to  one  issue  a  week 
from    its  senii-wi'ekl\'   status. 


Thos.  McMahon 


October,  1918  stated  that  Williams  men 
had  become  "sterner,  game,  broader,  more 
democratic,"  and  "more  like  men".  It 
stated  that  typical  college  pranks  had 
disappeared  from  the  campus. 

According  to  old  copies  of  The  Recoiid 
the  policies  of  this  paper  were  similar  at 
the  beginning  of  World  War  I  to  the 
present  day  advice  of  sticking  with  the  job. 
Further  digging  into  Library  files  shows 
that  the  Williams  ()»»r/c/-/y  of  1863  vigor- 
ously backed  this  polic\'  in  regard  to  en- 
listing for  .service  in  the  Civil  War.  It 
said,  "It  is  a  poor  policy  to  rob  the  temple 
of  science  to  supply  the  ret|uirenients  of 
war."  That  publication  went  so  far  as  to 
see  a  demand  for  scholars  U>  counter- 
balance "the  waves  of  corruption"  that 
would  accompany  the  return  of  armies 
from  the  batllelield. 

This  attiilude   changed    soon   after  the 

I'nited  States  entered  the  war  for  Recoud 

editorials  and  communications  all  pointed 

to  unrestricted  aid  lo  the  front  lines.     'The 

and    even-  j  t*nl>'  step  not  taken  by  the  college  was  thi- 

[giving  of  war  diplomas.     I'ndergraduates 

were  ref|uire(l  to  return  after  the  war  to 
finish  their  studies.  In  the  majority  of 
the  cases  the  stu<lents  (lid  return  and  go  on 
to  graduate  according  to  Professor  Theo- 
dore C.  Smith.

In  cooperation  with  the  College  desire

Spring  trip.  The  New  ICngland  Forensies, 
however,  scheduled  to  take  |)lace  here  in 
March,  will  be  held  while  the  regular  inter-

Thursday  the  Williams  debaters  will  go 
to  Middlebury  to  discuss  the  inKMulnieiit 
proposed  by  Acting-President  Richard  \. 
Xewhall  last  summer.  'The  amen<lment 
suggests  that  treaties  made  by  the  Presi- 
dent be  ratified  "1)\-  a  majority  of  the 
Senators  and  Representatives  present," 
rather  than  by  two  thirds  of  the  attending 
Senators,  as  the  Constitution  now  retpiires. 

BAXTER 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

prevent  the  same  or  even  a  worse  peace 
than  the  one  secured  by  his  generation. 

Background  For  Peace 

In  the  time  remaining  to  each  student  at 
college,  whether  it  be  three  mimths,  or 
three  years,  President  Baxter  sees  a  real 
job  for  ever>'  man — getting  all  the  back- 
ground he  can  for  winning  the  peace,  a 
task  which  will  be  harder  than  winning  the 
war.  Finishing  college  is  "not  as  dramatic 
as  dive-bombing"  but  there  will  be  a 
definite  need  for  the  kind  of  training  we 
are  getting  at  Williams,  he  said.  It  is  a 
matter  of  dividing  the  fighting  time  ahead 
of  us  intelligently. 

In  putting  across  his  point.  Dr.  Haxter 
([uoted  fiec|uently  from  a  letter  written  by 
the  head  of  a  government  agenc\'  to  his 
son,  a  junior  in  college.  For  this  man  Dr. 
Baxter  had  nothing  but  the  highest  praise, 
hoping  that  he  some  ilay  would  hold  a  far 
higher  position. 

'Shield  of  Faith' 

It  is  important  also  to  have  your  "loins 
gird  about  with  truth."  The  "shield  of 
faith"  is,  the  President  asserted,  "the 
thing  to  tie  to."  Whether  in  college,  or  in 
the  army  or  navy,  decency,  self-control, 
and  clean-living  are  still  the  virtues  which 
command  respect,  rather  than  bravado,  he 
said,  citing  his  return  from  the  Baltimore 
Conference  for  College  Presidents  with 
some  uniformed  men  displaying  a  lack  of 
those  qualities. 

In  closing  the  President  related  an 
anecdote  told  him  by  Admiral  Lister,  of  the 
British  Mediterranean  Squadron,  concern- 
ing the  British  raid  on  Taranto,  which  was 
the  model  for  the  Japanese  attack  on  Pearl 
Harbor.  The  pilots  had  been  sent  olT 
from  H.  M.  S.  Illustrious  for  a  long  six- 
hour  bombing  raid  on  the  Italian  naval 
center,  and  were  scheduled  for  a  similar 
expedition  the  following  night. 

Fleet  Annihilated 

That  afternoon,  wishing  to  find  out  how 
the  younger  men  had  taken  it.  Admiral 
Lister  sent  an  ofiicer  to  the  ward  room  to 


listen  to  the  ciinverKition.  The  officer 
overheard  one  eighleeii-year  old  aviator 
saying:— "They  only  asked  the  Light 
Brigade  to  do  it  once."  Weather  pre- 
vented the  pro|)oseil  flight  that  night,  and 
later  events  showed  that  the  one  raid  had 
annihilated  the  Fascist  fleet. 


WMS 


(Continued  from  page  1) 

Introduced  by  Schram  as  the  exponent 
of  the  athletic  side  of  Williams,  basketball 
Coach  Dale  Burnett  was  interviewed  about 
this  season's  varsity  five  and  about  his 
experiences  as  a  professional  football  and 
basketball  i)layer.  When  questioned 
ahoul  the  curtailment  of  the  inter- 
collegiate athletic  schedule,  Burnett  de- 
clared that  it  shiiuld  be  intensified  rather 
than  curtailed  for  it  is  a  "great  training 
for  boys  about  to  go  into  the  army." 

Terming  the  Williams  basketball  team 
as  "lacking  in  height,"  but  capable  of 
playing  a  fine  basketball  game,  Coach 
Burnett  added  at  the  same  time  that  the 
loss  of  Co-Captain  Humb\'  Quintana  to 
the  Naval  Air  Force  would  be  a  blow  to  the 
team.

Cabe  Prindle  Honored 
In  'Believe  It  Or  Not' 

Congratulatory  letters  from  e\er\  rnvnuj

especially  pleased  him  came  from  T'wijjlit

When  asked  whether  he  kiie«

An  inexpensive  and  patriotic  colleKC 
dance  on  the  Saturday  ninlu  of  the  cur- 
tailed wint<'rc,irnival  weekend  will  replace 
the  usual  two  niKlits  of  dancing  this  year, 
as  a  result  of  action  taken  yesterday  by  the 
rndergraduale  Council  and  the  Purple 
Ke\.  The  affair,  on  January  ,?l,  will  be 
known  as  \ictory  Night,  and  its  program 
will  includ.'  a  varsity-freshman  basketball 
game  and  singing  b\'  the  Williams  Clee

.'Ml  |)roceeds  nf  the  affair  will  lie  turned 
into  $2S  defense  bonds  to  be  given  away  at 
the  dance  to  holders  (jf  wiiming  tickets. 
In  effect,  ever\  ticket  will  amount  to  a 
chance  on  the  bonds.  It  is  expected  that 
many  undergraduates  will  take  advantage 
of  the  low  price  of  .SO  cents  a  ticket  to  buy 
several  "cltances"  on  the  bonds. 

The  program  will  get  underway  in  Lasell 
Gym  with  the  basketball  game  at  7:4.S. 
In  as  much  as  Dick  Cohiian's  tall  freshman 


quintet  has  already  defeated  the  experi-

of  Humby  Quintana,  who  will  leave  at  the

deprive  the  varsity  of  its  sparkplug  co- 
captain.     Sports  experts  in  the  Freshman

John  T.  Tuttle  '42,  president  of  the 
Williams  Flying  Club,  received  a  letter 
this  week  that  may  deal  a  death  blow  to 
what  was  last  fall  one  of  the  most  up  and 
coming  extra-curricular  organizations  on 
the  campus.  Written  by  John  W.  Lasell 
'20,  director  of  aviation  for  the  State  of 
Massachusetts,  the  letter  asked  Tuttle 
why  the  club's  airport  should  not  be  shut 
down  for  the  (iuration  of  the  war. 
Fear  Work  of  Saboteurs 

The  move  to  close  the  South  Williams- 
town  airport  is  part  of  a  national  effort  to 
curb  all  possibilities  of  sabotage  from  the 
air.  This  means  that  a  guard  must  be 
placed  at  all  fields  and  that  the  smaller 
ones  must  be  put  out  of  commission  unless 
the\'  can  show  good  reason  for  sta\ing 
open. 

To  comph   with  this  action  Donald  H. 
Cole,  owner  of  the  site  upon  which   the  i 
dull  field  is  located,  was  sworn  in  to  the  | 
police  force  last  week  as  a  spi'cial  guard  I 
f<ir  that  property.     The   Bennington  air- 
port has  alread\'  been  closed. 

In  answer  to  Mr.  Lasell's  question.  Club 
President  Tuttle  pointed  out  that  the 
lield  is  a  good  distance  away  from  defense 
factories,  and  that  it  serves  as  a  basic 
training  ground  for  men  entering  the  army 
or  naval  air  corps.  However,  these  two 
branches  of  the  armed  forces  refuse  to 
recognize  training  in  ships  as  light  as  the 
type  used  by  club  members. 

May  Be  Chance  for  C.  P.  T. 

Mr.  Lasell  asked  about  the  possibilities 
of  a  Civilian  Pilot  Training  group  being 
set  up  here  with  the  implication  that  such 
a  move  inight  keep  the  airport  open.  Two 
j'ears  ago  club  ofiicers  attempted  to  get  a 
C.  P.  T.  branch  established  at  Williams, 
but  were  unsuccessful.  Tuttle  feels  that 
since  a  better  field  has  been  acquired  this 
year  the  chances  of  forming  a  C.  P.  T. 
group  are  slightb'  improved. 

The  club  is  also  attempting  to  be  taken 
into  the  Air  Patrol,  a  branch  of  the  army 
which  does  aerial  photography  and  spots 
obstacles  from  the  air  that  would  show  in  a 
black  out.  The  student  flying  club  at 
Smith  has  already  joined  this  p;itrol. 

Mr.  Lasell's  letter  is  one  more  in  a  seriiw 
of  blows  the  fljing  club  has  received  since 
the  United  .States  entered  the  war.  At 
that  time  club  members  were  grounded  as 
part  of  an  anti-sabotage  precaution.  At 
present  many  are  still  without  reinstated 
licenses.  Club  Secretary  John  Jacobs  '43 
left  college  to  join  the  air  corps  and  flying 
has  been  impeded  by  winter  weather. 
With  one  plane  dismantled  for  the  winter 
season  and  another  in  the  repair  shop,  citib 
activities  are  at  a  U>^. 

Because  the  groUrfd  was  frozen  when 
the  S.  A.  G.  made  a  grant  of  $300  to  the 
club  for  intpr4)vemci>t  of  the  field,  that 
money  has  not  been  touched.  Construc- 
tion of  a  hangar  was  halted  upon  the 
completion  of  the  foundation  work. 


Ill  a  telegram  to  James  P.  Baxter,  ,ird 
this  week  a  member  of  the  defense  savings 
staff  al  Washington  stated  that  Secretaryof 
the  'Treasury  llenr\'  .Morgc'iuluiu,  Jr. 
wishes  to  know  if  Williams  has  defense 
savings  stamps  on  sale  on  its  campus  or  if 
plans  for  such  a  sale  have  been  formed. 

Professor  Walter  W.  McLaren,  chair- 
man of  the  faculty  C(niiniittee  for  the 
promotions  of  liond  sales,  was  delegated 
b\-  Acting-President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
to  take  action  concerning  the  message  and 
draw  up  an  answer  to  it.  In  view  of  the 
fact  that  defense  stamps  are  not  on  sale 
here,  that  no  all-inclusive  program  is  in 
effect,  and  that  midyear  examinations 
prohibit  the  forming  of  a  plan  before 
answering  Secretary  Morgenthau's  in- 
quiry, a  telegram  signed  by  Mr.  Newhall 
simph'  stated  that  "several  fraternities 
have  informal  plans  in  operation"  tor  the 
purchase  of  bonds  and  that  "the  college 
would  welccmie  outlines  of  the  treasury 
program  to  supplement  our  efforts".

Dean  Halfdan  Gregersen  has  issued  a 
new  schedule  which  provides  for  an 
additional  meeting  in  all  courses  once 
ever\"  two  weeks,  in  order  to  fit  the  work 
of  the  second  semester  into  twelve  instead 
of  the  normal  f<iurteen  weeks.  The  new 
accelerate<l  program  will  utilize  the  one 
o'clock  hour  four  days  each  week,  and 
calls  for  the  beginning  of  the  existing 
afternoon  schedule  one  hour  later. 

As  usual  the  classes  meeting  on  Monday, 
Wednesday,  and  Fridaj'  mornings  (hours 
.•\,  B,  C,  and  D)  during  the  first  semester 
will  be  shifted  to  the  same  hours  on  'Tu<'S- 
day,  Thursday,  and  Saturday  in  the  second 
semester;  the  E,  V,  G,  and  H  hours  now 
meeting  on  'Tuesday,  'Thursday,  and

day, and  F'riday.  The  chart  at  the  end  of 
this  article  .shows  the  new  acrelerated 
schedule  for  alternate  weeks.  Duplicates 
of  this  chart  may  be  procured  next  week  at 
the  Dean's  Office. 

Since  the  regular  afternoon  schedule 
will  begin  an  hour  later,  there  will  neces- 
sarily be  a  curtailment  of  late  afternoon 
activities,  and  the  Dean's  Office  feels  it 
should  lie  understood  that  the  college 
schedule  takes  precedence  over  all  extra- 
curricular activities.

Coleman  Scores  Nazism, 
Insists  Peace  Must  Be 
Christian         Settlement 

by  M.Misii.M.i.  \'a\  Di.:fsKN  '44 

.^s  Japanese  legions  pounded  ri'lent- 
le.ssly  al  th<'  last  vestiges  of  American 
resistance  in  the  Philippines,  the  Rev. 
Michael  Coleman,  acl  ing  vicar  of  All 
Hallows  by  the  Tower  in  London,  told  an 
audience  of  400  peoph'  in  Jesup  Hall  last 
Monda\  .  "Vcm  have  got  to  hale  every  act 
of  Nazism  in  the  East,  but  you  must  not 
hate  the  Japanese  people." 

'The  Reverend  Mr.  Coleman,  who  has 
lost  his  church,  his  home,  and  many  of  his 
friends  as  a  result  of  Nazi  bombs,  empha- 
sized thai  if  we  allow  ourselves  to  transfer 
our  hati-  of  the  Nazi  ideologx-  lo  the  Ger- 
mans themselves,  "we  will  win  the  war, 
but  lose  the  peace."  Declaring  that 
"Hitler  is  as  much  a  creature  of  God  as  I 
am,"  the  militant  London  clergyman 
pointed  out  that  the  histories  of  the  United 
States  and  Great  Britain  have  not  been 
spotless.  And  yel  he  insisted  that  today 
"the  hope  of  the  whole  world  depends  on 
your  country  and  mine." 

"We  lost  the  last  peace,"  Mr.  Coleman 
declared.  "In  fact  there  never  was  a 
peace,"  he  said,  because  the  negotiations 
of  1919  were  dominated  by  Ihe  lust  for 
revenge,  rather  than  by  Christian  charity. 
In  outlining  a  program  for  reconstruction

IJiirt'iiii  of  Xiivigation 

Wa.shiiigtoii,  D.  ('. 

.laiiuaiy  U,  1912 

My  dear  rresidcul  Baxter: 

It  i.s  the  h<)i)c-  of  the  Navy  Dcparliiioiit  liiat  tlic  .stiidoiit.s  of  all  the 
universitie.s  and  collcge-s  throughout  the  country  will  realize  fully  the 
seriou.siu'.ss  of  the  jjreseiit  war  and  the  sacrifice  and  toil  each  must  make 
in  order  to  fashion  a  total  victory  from  it.  ll  is  further  hoped  that  the 
men  of  the  uiuversities  will  in.stitute  among  themselves  a  regime  of  self- 
diseipliiie  and  conditioning  in  order  to  better  complete  the  immediate 
job  at  hand  and  prepare  for  the  greater  tasks  to  come.  It  is  sincerely 
urged  that  the  college  officials  and  faculty  members  will  sujiport  and 
particijiate  in  all  such  programs. 

Today,  not  tomorrow,  the  youth  of  America  must  undertake  the  most 
colos.sal  ta.sk  and  as.sume  the  most  terrible  responsilulily  of  any  generation 
in  history.  This,  our  country,  must  he  defende.l  with  the  last  measure  of 
our  strength  and  I  be  last  ounce  of  our  wealth.  Only  in  democracy  and 
freedom  can  mankind  exist  witli  faith  in  the  future  and  confidence  in  the 
final  fruition  of  the  valiant  efforts  of  the  past.  It  is  oiu'  way  of 
life,  our  creed,  and  onr  hope.  Democracy  has  long  i)rotected  the 
rights  of  individuals  and  the  sacredne.ss  of  personality.  It  is  now  the 
duty  of  each  individual,  in  turn,  to  protect  and  ])er|)etuate  that  onler 
which  has  now  iieeii  i)laced  under  (les])crate  attack  and  .seige  by  totalitar- 
ianism. No  one  can  avoid  his  part  in  this  task,  nor  retire  from  his  respoiisi- 
bilily  of  American  eiliKenshi)). 

The  ualitm  has  jia.ssed  through  an  era  of  .soft  living  and  rampant 
individualism.  Today  as  a  result,  there  is  a  treinendons  effort  being 
made  in  all  the  armed  forces  of  the  nation  to  correct  the  result  of  this 
hjMg  period  of  wasteful  existence.  The  rejection  figures  for  i)hysical 
defects  released  by  the  Seleclive  Service  Commission  are  staggering.  The 
armed  forces  are  succeeding  slowly  with  Ihe  actual  training  and  mental 
and  physical  conditioning  of  their  nieu.  While  Ibis  is  being  done,  oilier 
young  men  of  Ihe  nation  .should  be  taking  lime  by  the  forelock  so  that  Ihe 
jol)  will  be  less  weighly  for  the  arineil  forces  when  they  join  Ihe  ranks. 

The  navy  has  underway  a  trememloiis  ])rograin  to  make  the  officers  I 
and  Ihe  men  of  Ihe  fleet  hardened  and  physically  fit  for  the  fighting  job  j 
confront  ing  them.      Into  every  naval  I  raining  station  pours  a  cross  .section 
of  American  youth.     The  navy  trains  llieni  with  drills,  military  science 
and  physical  exercise.     The  Secretary  of  the  Navy  has  directed  that  every 
provision  should  be  taken  to  guarantee  that  American  Naval  Officers  and  ' 
ISluejackets  be  .second  to  none  in  i)hysical  fitness. 

It  iippears,  therefore,  that  the  American  college  students,  especially, 
.should  be  keenly  conscious  of  the  job  in  national  defen.se  that  lies  just 
ahead  of  them.  The  nation  will  put  its  trust  in  these  students  as  a  natural 
reservoir  of  leadershij),  and  officer  material.  They,  therefore,  .should  be 
more  Ihaii  anxious  to  maintain  themselves  in  the  best  jdiy.sical  condition 
l)o.ssible.  Theirs  is  truly  a  rendezvous  with  destiny  —  not  in  a  vague  and 
shadowy  future,  but  tomorrow.  They  are  |)rci)aring  them.selves  mentally 
for  the  task  ahead  and  it  would  .seem  inconsistent  if  this  prciiarcdncss  did 
not  inclnde  i)liysical  and  siiiritiial  development  of  a  similar  rigorousne.ss, 
quality  and  (|uaiitity. 

The  students  of  all  universities  have  within  their  grasp  the  opportu- 
nity to  develoi)  a  ])lan  and  pattern  of  self-discipline,  physical  fitness,  and 
preparedness  for  eventual  .service  in  the  armed  forces  of  their  country, 
or  as  .skilled  and  hardened  workers  in  civilian  defen.se  that  could  serve  as  a 
inotlel  and  inspiration  for  all  Americans. 

The  challenge  to  our  university   men  is  at  hand.     Will  they  take 
the  initiative  as  natural  leaders  and   prepare  themselves  to  "Fight  the 
good  light.'"     For  it  is  only  by  the  most  strenuous  and  coiuplcte  prepara- 
tion on  the  part  of  all  that  we  can  expect  ultimate  victory  for  our  way  of 
life.

WMS  has  not  planned  any  definite 
change  in  program  time  or  arrangement, 
but  will  distribute  work  more  evenly 
among  the  si  tIT  so  that  individuals  will  not

According  to  present  plans,  the  Band

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  JANUARY  16,  1942 


THE  COLLEGES 
AND  THE  WAR 


Editor's  note-  This  column  is  de- 
signed to  give  the  Williams  iinder^nntuules 
information  on  the  opportunities  presented 
to  college  students  and  the  necessary  qualifi- 
cutions  for  service  in  the  various  branches  of 
the  nation's  war  program.     Additional  war

icill  appear  from  time  to  time.  'I'liK  Kkcouu 
li'ill  publish  all  such  material  in  this  column 
for  the  duration. 

The  Army  Air  Corps  has  anmmnced  a 
special  courst'  in  Mctt-oroloKy  to  begin 
Marcli  2,  1942  at  M.  I.  T.  and  N.  Y.  l'. 
Men  who  enroll  in  this  course  will  receive 
ei^hl  months  of  intensive  training  as  non- 
pihit  Aviation  Cadets. 

Seniors'  or  college  graduates'  college 
credits  in  mathematics,  including  diflfer- 
ential  and  integral  calculus,  and  with  at 
least  one  \ear  of  credit  in  Physics  or  a 
degree  in  EngiTieering  are  eligible  for 
nieleorohjgy  training.  After  completing 
their  eight  months'  training,  the  graduates  |  throw 
of  this  cimrse  will  be  connuissioned  as 
Second  Lieutenants  in  the  Army  Air  Corps 
Reserve  and  will  go  on  active  duty  for  the 
duration. 

Application  blanks  and  complete  infor- 
mation may  be  obtained  from  the  com- 
mittee on  admissions,  M.  I.  '1'.,  Cambridge, 
Mass. 


President's  office  reliable  information  re- 
ceived from  the  Bureau  of  Navigaticm  of 
the  Navy  DcpartmeiU  in  Washington 
states  that  juniors  in  college  who  are  en- 
rolled in  the  V-7  program  will  positively 
not  be  ordered  to  active  duty  during  the 
summer  of  1942.  Pnviously  there  was 
some  (|uestion  as  to  the  |)olicy  that  the 
Navy  Department's  action  might  be  forced 
to  pursue  under  pressure  of  the  stubborn 
Japanese  naval  resistance  in  the  Far  East.

cal  background  of  Limdcm,  the  English

London  at  war.  "For  three  weeks  after 
Dunkirk  we  could  have  been  cont|Ueied  as 
easily  as  any  country  in  history,"  he  said. 
And  though  he  offered  no  ilel'inile  explana- 
tion of  why  the  C.ermans  did  not  take  ad- 
vantage of  their  opP"i'tt">'t>'.  Mr.  Coleman 
suggested  that  the  sub.setiuent  rapid  re- 
covery of  the  English  |5cople  was  the 
result  of  "a  spiritual  gearing  up"  in  the 
face  of  increased  danger.  He  said  that 
the  Englishman  of  today  does  not  pre- 
sumptuously assert,  "God  is  on  our  side," 
but  rather  "humbly  hopes  and  pra>s  that 
we  are  on  (iod's  side."

Wallace  Out  of  Action 
Minus  the  services  of  starter  Bob 
Wallace,  who  this  week  was  placed  on 
probation,  the  Purple  started  off  on  the 
wrong  foot  and  were  down  three  buckets 
before  Tolles,  Williams  high  scorer  for  the 
game,  broke  the  ice  with  a  set  shot.  But 
Co-Captain  Wils  Barnes,  Quintana,  and 
Tolles  kept  the  Ephs  on  the  heels  of  the 
Maroon,  until  near  the  end  of  the  first  half 
when  the  home  forces  pulled  out  in  front 
by  seven  points,  20-13. 

Here  the  Purple  put  on  the  heat  to  gain 
the  lead.  Tolles  countered  a  pair  and 
Jack  Harter  sank  another  to  boost  the 
Ephs  within  a  point  of  the  Statesmen. 
Quintana  matched  Bokina's  follow-up  shot 
with  a  solo  dribble  the  length  of  tlu'  court, 
and  then  put  the  Burnettmen  ahead  with 
a  long  ringer.  Just  before  the  gun,  Bokina 
hit  the  nets  again  to  give  the  Statesmen  a 
24-23  advantage  at  intermission.

spring  semester  by  the  elimination  of 
recesses  and  an  increase  in  the  number  of 
required  das.ses  will  bring  the  ecrrieuluni

Undergraduates'  Plan 
Hits  Hopkins  Hall  Snag 

Conflict  Has  Arisen   Over 
Faculty-Student    Group 

Acting  President  Richard  A.  Newhall 
said  yesterday  that  he  is  not  ready  to 
appoint  a  standing  faculty  committee  to 
meet  regularly  with  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  the  undergraduate  government 
to  discuss  college  problems.  Due  to  a 
misunderstanding  members  of  the  student 
committee  had  been  waiting  for  Mr. 
Newhall  to  appoint  the  faculty  members 
of  the  joint  committee  which  they  pro- 
posed several  weeks  ago. 

Although  willing  to  appoint  a  separate 
faculty  connnittee  each  time  the  under- 
graduates wish  to  discuss  a  specific  prob- 
lem, Mr.  Newhall  objected  to  the  perma- 
nent provision  of  the  student  proposal. 
The  Executive  Committee  includes  heads 
of  the  U.  C,  S.  A.  C,  Garfield  Club, 
editor  of  The  Rbcohd,  and  the  four  class 
presidents. 

Counter  Proposal  Made 

Mr.  Newhall  balks  at  the  idea  of  select- 
ing a  standing  committee  from  the  faculty, 
but  rather  wishes  to  appoint  a  different 
committee  for  each  problem  as  it  arises. 
He  pointed  out  that  in  this  way  the 
faculty  mambcrs  most  competent  to 
discuss  a  particular  problem  would  be 
placed  in  the  discussion  group.  Professor 
Newhall  also  proposed  that  faculty  com-

top  honors  with  seven  other  colleges — a 
number  that  would  have  set  a  record  for 
competing  colleges  had  they  appeared  on 
Sheep  Hill  in  Williamstown. 

The  septet  of  New  England  college 
teams  competing  over  this  weekend  are 
Amherst,  Dartmouth,  Harvard,  Middle- 
bury,  Norwich,  X'ermont,  and  Williams. 
Returning  after  a  year's  absence  are 
Harvard  and  Vermont  while  Yale,  which 
has  no  official  team  this  year,  has  been 
dropped.  The  number  of  men  has  been 
limited  to  six  competitors,  coach,  and 
managers  for  each  team. 

Cole  Leads  Purple 

Starring  for  Williams  in  this  annual 
mid-winter  ski  classic  will  be  Eph  ski 
captain  Phil  Cole,  Outing  Club  President 
Ralph  Ball,  Romeyn  Everdell,  Dick 
Finlay,  Ken  Moore,  and  Dave  Brown. 
They  will  race  against  time  and  some  of 
the  Northeast's  top-notch  slope  runners 
and  jumpers.  Testing  Purple  ability 
will  be  Dartmouth's  Bob  Meservey  who 
captured  first  honors  in  last  year's  down-

Peyton  Hurt  Dies 
In  Boston  Hospital 

Since  1937  He  Had  Been 
Librarian  of  Williams; 
Thirty-Eight    Years   Old 

Dr.  Peyton  Hurt,  librarian  of  the  Stet- 
son Library  since  July,  1937,  ended  his 
life  last  Friday  night  at  the  Baker  Mem- 
orial Hospital  in  Boston.  In  failing  health 
for  two  years.  Dr.  Hurt  had  been  under 
medical  observation  there  since  Wed- 
nesday. 

Coming  to  Williams  from  the  University 
of  California  where  he  was  assistant  li- 
brarian. Dr.  Hurt  brought  with  him  an 
admirable  record  not  only  as  a  librarian 
but  as  a  student  of  public  administration, 
political  science  scientist,  and  history. 
During  his  early  career  at  Williams  he 
taught  political  science,  as  well  as  attend- 
ing to  his  manifold  duties  at  the  library. 
Reorganised  Departniental  Collections 

One  of  Dr.  Hurt's  first  moves  on  arri\'al 
at  Williams  was  the  reorganization  and 
reclassification  of  the  various  depart- 
mental collections  housed  in  other  build- 
ings on  campus,  but  kept  under  his  super- 
vision. Two  years  ago  he  engineered  a 
plan  calling  for  the  complete  reclassifica- 
tion of  all  the  volumes  in  Stetson  Hall,  a 
tremendous  project  that  will  last  for  five 
more  years. 

Dr.  Hurt,  whose  various  contributions 
to  the  techniques  of  library  service  had 
won  him  wide  recognition,  was  born  on 
June  11,  1903,  in  Windsor,  Mo.  He 
received  his  A.  B.  from  the  University  of 
Idaho  in  1926,  and  his  master's  degree  and 
doctorate  both  from  the  University  of 
California  in  1929  and  1931,  respectively.

Resignations  Grow 
As  17  Men  Enlist 

Navy  Swears  in  Score 
for  V-7  Program  as 
7    Enter    Flying     Forces 

With  seventeen  men  leaving  within 
the  last  two  weeks  a  total  number  of 
thirty  Williams  students  have  resigned 
from  colli'ge  since  Christmas  to  join  the 
armed  forces  or  to  help  in  natiimal  tlefense 
in  senile  way.  Already  over  fifty  under- 
graduales  have  asked  for  transcripts  and 
letters  assuring  their  completion  of  the 
senior  year  from  the  Dean's  office  to  be 
used  in  connection  with  applying  for  the 
\'-7  pnigram  while  twenty-one  men  have 
already  been  .sworn  into  this  training 
branch  of  the  Navy. 

Since  many  more  are  scheduled  to  leave 
in  a  few  days  and  since  numerous  students 
plan  on  swearing  into  the  V-7  program  no 
available  statistics  are  all-inclusive.  Latest 
information  from  the  Dean's  office  shows 
that  the  Army  Air  Force  has  taken  Mar- 
.shall  S.  Berdan  '44,  Robert  H.  Griggs,  and 
Bruce  G.  Sundlun  '42,  while  John  F.  Carr

the  Army  with  the  latter  probably  joining 
the  field  service.  Bushrod  B.  Howard,  Jr.

"The  Education  of  a  Retiring  Staff" 

Tlio  retiring  staff  of  tlic  Williams  Recoud  takes 
wilh  it  more  than  ils  $150  experience  in  the  now  almost 
legendary  liljel  affair  of  last  si)ring.  It  has  learned 
how  to  <io  things,  how  not  to  —  Imt  it  sticks  clearly  to 
the  original  proposition  which  were  contained  in  its 
editorial  last  March  1.  We  said  then  that  we  were 
deterniined  to  do  what  we  could  to  make  for  "the 
inteik'ctua!  row  hctwecii  strong,  consecrated  men  (if 
good  manners"  which  was  Tyler  Dennett's  definition 
of  a  good  ethieation.  We  .said  tlieii  that  we  were 
inclined  to  agree  with  what  Emerson  once  said  to  a 
Williamstown  audience,  that  "mankind  is  as  lazy  as 
it  dares  to  he."  We  scored  the  value  Williams  under- 
graduates have  placed  upon  traditional  and  unpro- 
voking  platitudes,  and  we  said  that  whatever  Williams 
men  might  expect  of  The  Rkcoud  during  the  coming 
year,  tliey  would  get  for  sure  a  dose  of  criticism  aimed 
at  the  too  jirevalent  attitude  that  the  best  of  all 
possihie  worlds  is  a  ])lace  where  the  values  are  ma- 
terial, and  the  virtues  defined  in  terms  of  apathy, 
inefficiency,  and  "you  can't  do  anything  about  that 
anyway," 

We  think  we  have  kept  our  jiroinisc.  Our  suggested 
proposals  for  improving  Williams  fraternities  were  not 
po))ular,  perhaps  liecau.se  we  could  not  .supply  the 
s])iritual  regeneration  which  is  above  all  necessary  to 
sustain  change.  Our  long  series  of  articles  on  the 
Williamstown  Water  Company  were  appreciated 
where  they  mattered  in  terms  of  dollars  and  cents, 
but  to  many  imdergradnatcs  who  measure  their 
college  exi)erieuce  in  getting  away  from  Williamstown, 
there  was  not  much  sen.se  in  what  we  were  trying  to  do. 
We  looked  at  the  whole  matter  of  |)ublic  relations,  and 
found  ourselves  with  understaiulahle  .student  support, 
but  found  tliat  the  trustees  and  administration  woidd 
still  rather  have  an  excci^tionally  elaborate  theatre  or 
conspicuous  faculty  house  to  a  system  of  ])ublic 
relations  which  couhl  open  the  way  for  more  selective 
admi.ssions. 

We  held  the  reins  for  the  long  months  before  the 
war,  and  we  were  holding  them  when  the  war  came. 
And  instead  of  making  us  less  sure  of  the  beliefs  we 
held,  the  war  helped  us  to  become  more  entrenched  in 
pattern.s  of  thought  which  had  got  us  in  trouble;  at 
least,  which  had  denied  to  us  the  poimlarity  we  might 
have  had  if  our  writings  had  been  directed  toward 
children  instead  of  men  on  whom  the  future  (U^peiids. 
Perhaps  we  had  made  the  mistake  of  confusing  Wil- 
liams midergraduates  with  .strong  men  who  dared  to 
think  and  act,  to  think  and  act  with  a  view  to  the 
future  and  to  the  things  in  life  that  matter, 

A  year  has  not  brought  us  to  any  jiarticularly  cheer- 
ful conclusion.  For  it  .seems  that  the  trouble  which 
has  been  alluded  to,  and  the  apparent  disagreement  be- 
tween the  campus  newspaper  and  large  segments  of 
the  undergraduate  body,  has  not  come  from  any  mi.s- 
imderslanding.  The  trouble  has  come  iibstcad  in  a 
(li.sagreemeiit  uixin  the  things,  both  in  life  and  in 
college,  which  matter.  It  mattered  to  us  that  frater- 
nities Were  not  doing  the  jobs  to  which  their  purposes 
and  statetl  ideals  directed  them;  but  then,  that  was 
pcrhajjs  becau.se  we  had  found  things  that  mattered 
in  fraternities  which  transcended  the  house  party  or 
the  dining  room.  It  mattered  to  us  that  the  water 
rates  in  William.stown  were  too  high,  and  that  the 
conditions  of  liealth  in  tlie  town  might  be  improved  by 
lower  rates;  it  mattered  because  as  members  of  this 
community,  our  concerns  were  not  limited  to  the  four 
walls  of  a  dormitory  room  atid  the  pencil  work  of  a 


four  or  five-course  schedule.  And  for  the  same  reason 
it  .seemed  only  too  obvious  that  we  should  have  done 
all  we  could  to  cut  down  the  cost  of  living  at  Williams 
or  to  develop  a  pulilic  relations  .system  which  would 
bring  to  Williams  more  men  who  might  contribute  as 
well  as  take.  It  .seemed  only  loo  obvious,  in  view  of 
the  confusion  on  all  the  college  maliers  related  to  the 
wai — including  the  question  of  a  winter  carnival,  that 
a  healthy  government  at  Williams  College  calls  for 
a  clo.ser  relationship  among  .students  and  faculty  and 
tru.slees. 

It  mattered  to  us  with  all  the  detcniiination  and 
honesty  we  had,  and  it  .still  does,  but  more  so  because 
we  are  convinced  that  the  wiiming  of  this  war  and  the 
peace  that  will  follow  depends  upon  men  with  loyalties 
and  values  which  tran.scend  the  material,  which  trans- 
cend the  sensory  delight  of  the  moment.  We  could 
hardly  have  expected  to  come  to  frequent  agreement 
with  a  society  in  which  jia.ssions  and  loyalties  are  ruled 
by  getting  out  of  .something,  or  getting  something 
without  work.  And  we  certainly  should  not  have  been 
surprised  to  find  disagreement  so  often;  our  culture, 
ami  the  history  of  America  since  science  and  the 
industrial  revolution  took  their  toll  of  our  democratic 
faith  and  loyalties,  indicate  only  too  clearly  what  has 
hapijened  on  a  greater  i)lain  to  our  whole  society. 
It  is  because  Americans  in  recent  years  have  not 
been  ruled  by  any  discipline  of  loyalty  or  work  or  faith 
that  we  now  find  ourselves  on  the  short  end  of  a  war 
which  we  can  lose.  Loyalty,  work,  and  faith — these 
things  which  fired  a  people  in  1776,  and  which  would 
have  been  the  e.s.sential  foundation  for  any  of  the 
camiHis  improvements  we  have  urged  during  the  past 
year  —  these  things  have  been  going  down  the  drain 
in  America.  In  exchange  we  have  accepted  a  kiiul 
of  individualism  which  has  the  right  to  object  to 
government,  but  not  the  duty  to  vote  or  i)articipate; 
we  have  accepted  a  world  in  which  the  values  have 
moved  from  the  supersensory  to  the  material.  And 
with  it  has  come  all  the  chaos  and  all  the  frustration 
and  all  the  trying  to  get  .something  without  work 
which  has  been  dramatized  and  .symbolized  for  ns  at 
Williams  in  the  history  of  the  cutting  regulations; 
and  in  the  nation,  at  Pearl  Harbor. 

The  straws  we  have  been  holding  onto— money, 
machines,  an  unbridled  individualism,  and  everything 
these  suggest — cannot  hold  together  the  body  and 
soul  of  man  or  nation.  They  have  given  us  the  tallest 
buildings  and  the  biggest  depressions:  and  they  have 
given  us  an  Adams  Memorial  Theatre  and  I'earl 
Harbor.  But  we  .shall  not,  nor  shall  we  deserve  to 
survive,  if  we  expect  to  find  strength  and  .security  in 
these  straws  which  bend  to  the  force  of  tyranny.  We 
shall  find  our  .strength,  and  our  victory,  in  war  and 
peace,  only  in  transferring  oiu-  values  from  straws  to 
pillars  of  loyalty  which  demand  the  devotion,  the 
energy,  and  the  faith  of  men. 


WILLIAMS  IN  THE  WAR 


Ensign  Samuel  L.  Root  '42  was  assis.nmeni  editor  nf  'I'liE 
Kkcoh])  until  called  to  active  duty  on  a  destroyer  in  the  Atlantic. 
The  following  excerpts  are  taken  from  a  letter  dated  December  28. 

I  liave  just  finistie:]  reading  ttic  issues  of  The  Repouu, 

bringing  me  up  tlirougli  the  "War  IScgins"  issue  —  and  I  am 
not  writing  to  complain  aljout  anytiiing.  It's  just  tliat  I  had 
a  couple  of  tilings  which  I  might  as  well  get  off  my  mind 

Als.'\  my  conscience  has  bothered  me  a  bit  about  \Miting  you 
a  piece  of  filler  or  something  of  "VVms.  in  the  War."  But  my 
conscience  is  as  far  as  that  ever  tra\-ek'd.  What  ideas  I  have 
had  run  along  the  same  lines  as  Maclay's.  I  know  that  I  am 
far  more  aware  of  what  wc  are  fighting  for  than  the  average 
ensign  two  or  three  years  out  of  Annapolis  or  than  many  reserve 
officers. 

The  older  officers  are  cognizant  (1  just  heard  that  word  over 
the  radio)  of  the  war  aims,  but  it  shows  what  a  liberal  education 
does  toward  giving  us  a  head  start.  It  is  very  true  that  while 
wc  arc  out  here  we  sometimes  wonder  what  will  be  the  final  good 
nf  it  all,  yet  in  the  long  run,  we  don't  do  enough  thinking  about 
it,  nor  are  wc  in  a  position  to  do  much  about  the  post-war 
situation. 

It  will  be  mainly  up  to  the  people  who  are  running  things, — 
Ihe  people  at  home  —  supported  by  all  of  us,  to  work  toward  a 
better,  fairer  |)eace  than  wc  have  had  previously.  What  I  am 
trjing  to  say  is  that  the  men  who  are  fighting  aren't  going  to 
«orry  about  the  peace,  so  let's  hope  that  Williams  and  every 
other  place  of  teaching  and  learning  will  spend  every  effort  to 
eilucate  people  at  home  to  work  for  a  post-war  union  of  the  de- 
mocracies, etc. 

The  college  and  the  professors  will  remain  there,  where  it  and 
then  can  exert  an  influence  on  the  people  and  their  represent- 
atives. It's  a  big  job,  but  one  for  all  colleges,  their  papers  (and 
I'm  glad  to  say  1  think  The  f^Ecouo  has  always  done  what  it 
couhl  in  this  line),  and  their  students  to  work. 

I'm  afraid  all  this  is  very  confusing  and  illogical;  I  never  was 
much  on  expounding  ideas.  I  would  have  written  a  few  facts 
if  allowed,  tiut  even  they  would  be  uninteresting  in  the  face  of 
what  is  happening  in  the  Pacific.  Actually,  all  I  have  been 
doing  is  learning  what  sea  life  is  like,  particularly  in  .stormy 
weatlier. 

I  guess  this  whole  letter  has  lieconic  a  mess,  but  that's  partly 
due  to  a  blaring  radio,  piles  of  workmen  around  here,  an  inter- 
vening argument  on  the  merits  of  getting  married  now — I  took 
the  negative — ,  and  other  disturbances.  Anyway,  please  give 
my  regards  to  the  fellows  on  the  board,  and  to  the  others  in 
our  class. 

Sincerely  yours,    Sam  Root

enable  the  class  of  1945  to  graduate  in 
May,  1944  At  the  same  time  it  was  an- 
nounced that  freshmen  entering  this  June 
might  complete  their  requirements  by 
I'c'bruary,    1945. 

President  Conant  of  Harvard  announced 
lluit  the  University  would  not  give  any 
honorary  war  degrees,  at  least  until  the 
completion  of  the  war.  Harvard  is  now 
giving  special  certificates  to  all  those 
wJio  leave  the  college  in  good  standing. 

Vale  will  soon  be  offering  to  twenty-five 
iipperclassmen  a  course  in  Japanese. 
Because  of  the  limitless  number  of  symbols 
ill  the  language,  English  equivalent  spell- 
ings will  be  used  to  familiarize  the  students 
with  the  language. 


King  Husky  II,  a  three-months  old 
Siberian  pup,  was  recently  presented  to 
Northeastern  as  a  successor  to  their

At  Bowdoin,  the  elimination  of  the 
spring  recess  has  caused  the  cancellation 
<il  several  Glee  Club  concerts  planned  for 
I  hat  time.  This  week,  Ohio  State  Uni- 
'.  rrsity  announced  that  their  spring  base- 
li.ill  trip  would  be  cancelled  because  of  the 
war.  Since  the  tour  was  usually  made  by 
automobile,  the  authorities  decided  to 
s.ive  tires  and  gasoline. 


After  a  campus-wide  poll,  Smith  made 
a  definite  decision  to  hold  its  annual 
Spring  Dance,  probably  on  March  14.

certain. 


Announcement  that  freshmen  would  be 
eligible  for  varsity  athletics  at  Harvard 
next  September  was  disclaimed  by  the 
administration  there  last  week.  Had  the 
story,  which  originated  in  the  Harvard 
Crimson  and  which  was  printed  in  the 
Metropolitan  press,  been  true,  it  would 
have  violated  the  Presidents'  Agreement 
signed  by  the  heads  of  the  Big  Three  in 
1939.  This  Agieement  stated  that  simul- 
taneous and  cooperative  action  would  be 
taken  by  the  three  institutions  on  all 
matters  of  eligibility.

DANCE 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
ball  contest,  which  will  be  followed  at  9:00 
by  dancing  to  the  music  of  Don  Weston's 
orchestra. 

At  1 1 :30  the  wife  of  the  coach  whose 
team  wins  the  basketball  game  will  reach 
into  a  hat  and  pull  out,  not  a  rabbit,  but 
the  names  of  the  lucky  winners  of  $25 
defense  bonds,  purchased  with  the  pro- 
ceeds of  the  sale  of  tickets. 

Ideas  by  Tower 

The  idea  was  conceived  by  Charles  H. 
Tower,  '42,  the  president  of  Purple  Key, 
and  was  sanctioned  by  the  Undergraduate 
Council.  Arrangements  for  the  program 
have  been  in  the  hands  of  a  Purple  Key 
committee,  headed  by  Tower,  with  James 
H.  Goodwin,  J.  Craig  Huff,  and  George 
Hussey,  Jr.,  '42,  Thomas  S.  Keirnan,  and 
Ward  L.  Johnson,  '43.  This  committee 
deliberately  decided  to  scale  the  admission 
price  low,  and  it  has  been  fixed  at  55  cents 
a  person,  which  includes  an  equal  chance 
on  the  defense  bonds. 

Designed  to  replace  the  extravagant 
programs  of  other  years,  with  an  economic, 
as  well  as  patriotic  program.  Victory  Night 
is  attuned  to  the  times.  Tower  has  ex- 
pressed the  hope  that  attendance  at  the 
dance  will  be  large  enough  to  give  away 
six  of  the  $25  bonds.

Letter  to  Editors 


To  the  Editor  of  The  Williams  Rbcoiid: 
Now  that  the  academic  "speed  up"  has 
begun,  additional  ways  of  cooperating 
with  the  nation's  war  effort  will  be  sug- 
gested. There  is  a  tendency  to  adopt 
hastily  all  such  suggestions  because  it 
seems  the  patriotic  thing  to  do.  One 
reads  in  The  Record  that  "Organizations 
Limit  Scope  of  Activities  for  the  Dura- 
tion." Cap  and  Bells  has  changed  its 
plans.  Some  would  like  to  do  away  with 
the  campus  lecture  series.  Should  there 
be  a  .Spring  Conference?  One  hears  de- 
mands for  "cutting  down,"  limiting  the 
scope,"  "temporarily  suspending,"  or 
"reducing"  the  peace  time  activities  of 
the  Williams  campus. 

I  suggest  that  every  proposed  curtail- 
ment be  met  with  two  questions:  (1)  will 
it  help  as  win  the  war?  (2)  will  it  help  us 
win  the  peace?  Several  curtailments  al- 
ready planned  do  neither.  For  example, 
eliminating  trips  for  Glee  Club  and  De- 
bating Team.  Buy  Defense  stamps  with 
the  money  saved?  A  good  thing.  But 
good  also  is  lyric  and  forensic  expression, 
and  whatever  encourages  interest  in  them. 
In  a  conscientious  effort  to  get  away  from 
"business  as  usual,"  we  run  the  risk  of 
forgetting  that  the  "business  as  usual" 
of  the  liberal  arts  college  is  the  concentrat- 
ed fostering  of  the  very  values  we  are 
determined  shall  pievail  in  the  peace  to 
come.  Hence  every  curtailment  of  the 
normal  business  of  Williams  College  helps 
dry  up  one  of  the  well-springs  of  freedom. 
Perhaps  this  is  big  language  to  use  about  a 
Glee  Club  concert.  But  where  draw  the 
line?  Does  anyone  suppose  that  class 
recitations  and  assigned  readings  are  the 
least  dispensable  parts  of  a  liberal  educa- 
tion? Educators  underestimate  the  im- 
portance of  beer  and  bulling.  (American 
educators, — not  English!)  To  enjoy  a 
subjective  sense  of  virtue  by  sacrificing 
an  alleged  luxury  may  turn  out  to  be  a 
self-defeating  gesture  on  the  part  of  a 
liberal  arts  college  in  a  democracy. 

The  liberal  and  humane  tradition  consti- 
tutes the  marrow  of  democracy's  strength 
in  war  as  in  peace.  Therefore  we  should 
combat  every  misguided  effort  to  curtail 
any  activity  that  serves  to  express,  in 
however  modest  fashion,  the  meaning  of 
that  tradition. 

Lawrence  W.  Beals 
The  problem  posed  by  Mr.  Beals  should  de- 
mand serious  study  in  faculty  circles— for 
it  ii  ihere  that  decisions  affecting  the  under- 
graduates are  made  these  days.  Under- 
graduates could  hardly  be  expected  to  carry 
the  full  extracurricular  program  of  the  past 
with  the  extra-class  schedules  which  begin 
today,  even  if  "every  curtailment  of  the 
normal  business  of  Williams  College  ludps 
dry  up  one  of  the  well-springs  of  freedom." 
This  is  one  of  the  many  problems  which 
confront  the  whole  college  community  in 
wartime — and  that  is  why  it  is  particularly 
distressing  to  find  Mr.  Newaall  in  a  story 
on  page  one  saying  that  he  will  not  appoint 
a  faculty  committee  to  meet  regularly  to 
discuss  these  and  other  matters  with  under- 
graduates.    The  Editors.

In  1933  he  was  graduated  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  California  School  of  Librarian-

Guest  Scholar  at  Brookings  Institute 
From  1928  to  1930  he  served  as  a  teach- 
ing assistant  in  political  science  at  Cali- 
fornia and  in  1930-1931  was  a  university 
fellow  there.  In  1931-1932  he  was  a  guest 
scholar  at  Brookings  Institute  in  Washing- 
ton, D.  C,  and  in  1932-1933  he  held  the 
American  Library  Association's  fellowship. 
From  1933  until  he  was  called  to  Williams 
he  was  instructor  in  the  library  school  at 
Berkeley  and  during  1934-1937  also  acted 
as  assistant  librarian  at  the  university 
library. 


Norton  Advises  Houses 
To  Pay  New  Food  Tax 

Excise      Official      Expects 
Change  in  Ruling  Soon 

Present  rulings  and  discussion  in  the 
special  session  of  the  Massachusetts 
legislature  leave  Williams  fraternity  treas- 
urers up  in  the  air  as  to  future  policy 
regarding  the  Massachusetts  Old  Age 
Tax  which  proviiles  for  a  fivi^  per  cent 
levy  on  all  food  served  at  public  eating 
houses. 

In  an  elTort  to  aid  the  sixteen  social 
groups,  Irving  T.  Norton,  of  the  state  tax 
office,  Springfield,  representing  Tax  Com- 
missioner Henry  F.  Long,  has  visited 
Williamstown  twice  with  conflicting  re- 
ports regarding  the  fraternities'  status  as 
a  public  eating  house,  and  predicted  that 
a  new  ruling  would  be  made  in  the  near 
future. 

Reverses  Pre-Exam  Decision 

Norton  conferred  with  undergraduate 
treasurers  before  the  midyear  examina- 
tion period,  and  at  that  time  advised  that 
the  fraternities  could  evade  the  tax  by 
charging  each  month  for  a  credit  deposit 
instead  of  a  board  item.  Yesterday 
Norton  stated  that  Commissioner  Long 
had  reversed  the  decision  and  said  the 
tax  would  hold  good  for  fraternities. 

Norton  advised  the  houses  to  comply 
with  the  new  ruling  and  to  pay  the  tax, 
but  said  that  he  expects  the  decision  to 
change  in  favor  of  the  fraternities  in  the 
near  future.

Varsity  Five  Faces 
Freshman  Quintet 
Tomorrow  at  7:45 

Purple  without  Services 
of  Co-Captain  Quintana 
in  Victory   Night   Game 

After  a  two-week  layoff,  Coach  Dale 
liuriu'tt's  Purple  courtinen  sound  their 
guns  tomorrow  e\'eniu(;  when  tliey  trade 
shots  with  Dick  Coleman's  razzle-dazzle 
yearling  five  in  Lascll  Ciym.  Booked  as 
the  opening  e\-ent  on  tlie  X'ictory  Night 
prognini.  the  tilt  will  supply  the  answer  to 
claims  from  the  Freshman  Quad  that 
their  stpiad  is  superior  to  the  varsity. 

Experience  pitted  against  height  will  be 
the  watchword  in  the  patriotic  encounter. 
The  varsity  will  start  four  lettermen  and  a 
sophomore,  already  \'eterans  of  nine  en- 
counters this  season,  in  their  attempt  to 
knock  the  wind  out  of  the  yearling  sails. 
The  freshnien  will  be  no  easy  match,  for 
their  defense  towers  well  over  the  varsity 
attackers. 

Sparkplug  at   Sea 

Minus  the  services  of  their  co-captain 
and  sparkplug,  Huniby  Ouintana,  who  hrs 
joined  the  naval  air  forces,  the  varsity  will 
floor  a  revamped  lineup.  The  play  of 
Don  Lindsay,  last  year's  freshman  leader, 
will  probably  give  him  the  nod  for  Quin- 
tana's  berth,  although  sophomores  John 
liridgewatcr  and  Monk  .Stanley  cannot  be 
counted  out  of  the  running.  If  Lindsay 
starts,  Captain  W'ils  Harnes  will  be  shifted 
to  a  guard  slot,  leaving  one  of  the  pivot 
posts  for  Lindsay. 

High  scoring  Jack  Ilarter,  still  handi- 
capped by  a  sprained  thumb,  will  play  the 
other  |iivot  position.  Roy  Tolles,  high 
|K)int  man  against  M.LT.  and  Mass. 
State,  will  team  with  Bob  Wallace,  to 
round  out  the  quinUt. 

Freshmen  Defeated  Drury

Purole  Squash  Team 
Cfrushes  M.I.T.,  8-1 

Coach  Clarence  Chaffee's  varsity  squash 
team  recouped  some  of  the  prestige  lost 
at  the  hands  of  a  powerful  Yale  aggre- 
gaticm,  by  spanking  a  weak  M.LT.  squad, 
9-0,  on  the  Alumni  Squash  Courts,  Satur- 
day, January  17.  Captain  and  number 
one  player  Jack  Sheetz  won  the  only  game 
of  the  day  for  the  Techmen  as  he  lost  his 
match  to  Captain  Bob  Hendrie,  15-11, 
lS-10,  S-IS,  15-12. 

Dude  Hemphill,  Bill  Schmidt  and  Al 
Maulsby  won  thi^  number  two,  three  and 
four  matches  over  opponents  Carry, 
Trexcl  and  Barry,  respectively,  by  crush- 
ing scores,  while  Ray  Ashley  took  the 
measure  of  M.I.T.'s  Jack  Johnson,  15-4, 
15-7,  15-5. 

In  the  nun\ber  six  match,  the  Purple's 
Dan  Rugg  took  the  measure  of  Dick 
Gunther,  15-8,  15-12,  15-9,  and  Dave 
Feet  scored  over  number  seven  man 
Badger,  15-13,  15-8,  15-1 1.  George  Nehr- 
bas,  playing  number  eight  for  Williams, 
defeated  Bill  Hahn,  while  Mike  Griggs,

Holmes  Joins  Foreign 
Service  of  Red  Cross 

Placement       Director       Is 
Out    for    the    Duration 

"I'm  in  the  army  now",  writes  Edwin 
Holmes  '23,  Director  of  the  Williams 
Placement  Bureau,  on  assuming  his  new 
post  as  Field  Director  in  the  American 
Red  Cross,  Division  of  Foreign  Service. 
Director  of  the  Placement  Bureau  since 
its  founding  in  March  of  1940,  Mr.  Holmes 
recently  enlisted  in  the  Red  Cross  and 
reported  in  Washington  on  January  23rd: 
he  expects  to  leave  Washington  at  any 
time  for  a  short  stay  in  one  of  the  eastern 
army  camps,  after  this — destination  un- 
known. 

Mr.  Holmes  stepped  into  the  job  of 
Director  of  the  Placement  Bureau  from 
that  of  personnel  manager  in  the  Western 
Union  Co.  The  administration  of  the 
college  and  the  alumni  societN'  had  decided 
to  employ  a  Williams  graduate  trained 
in  personnel  work  as  a  full-time  director  of 
this  activity,  Edwin  Holmes  was  the  man 
for  the  job. 

At  its  inception  the  Placement  Bureau 
was  designed  to  give  vocational  guidance 
to  the  undergraduates,  make  contacts  with 
personnel  men  and  place  graduates,  and 
act  as  a  placement  service  for  all  members 
of  the  alunmi.  Since  this  beginning  the 
bureau  has  also  actively  engaged  in  finding 
summer  employment  for  undergraduates 
and  recently  taken  on  added  importance 
as  a  dispensary  for  military  informatiim 
and  information  pertaining  to  the  Civil 
Service. 

Since  Mr.  Holmes  will  be  absent  "for 
the  duration".  Miss  Helen  Crowley,  his 
secretary,  will  carry  on  the  work  of  the 
bureau.  Personnel  representatives  from 
the  W.  R.  Grace  Co.,  Proctor  and  Gamble, 
and  Sliell  Dil  are  slated  to  appear  on  the 
campus  in  I  he  near  future.

FACULTY- STUDENT 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
mittee  members  be  advised  beforehand  of 
the  problem  under  consideration  in  order 
that   they   may  have  an  opportunity  to 
form  an  opinion  about  the  matter. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee's reasons  for  proposing  a  permanent 
joint  committee  are  (1)  the  advantages  of 
having  a  standing  clearing  house  for  under- 
graduate and  facility  ideas  and  proposals 
relati'd  to  Williams  during  the  war;  (2) 
the  wisdom  of  using  a  permanent  under- 
graduate body,  such  as  already  exists  in 
the  E.xecutive  Committee,  in  conjunction 
with  a  permanent  faculty  body;  (3)  the 
advantage  of  dispelling  undergraduate 
dissatisfaction  and  needless  confusion 
which  arises  when  faculty  decisions  are 
made  without  considering  the  views  of  the 
student  body. 
Discussions    On     Isolated     Questions 

Mr.  Newhall's  revamped  plan  which 
would  make  faculty-student  consultation 
contingent  upon  a  specific  undergraduate 
demand  for  a  meeting  on  a  specific  matter 
ignores  the  basic  motives  behind  the  under- 
gra<luate  plea,  which  placed  emphasis  on 
the  regularity  with  which  the  joint  com- 
mittees would  meet. 

One  member  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee pointed  to  the  conflict  arising  over 
the  Winter  Carnival  as  a  reasnn  lor  making 
the  committee  permanent.  He  pointed 
out  that  the  college  did  not  know  until  late 
December  that  in  spite  of  the  war,  the 
skiing  aspects  of  the  Carnival  were  to  be 
held,  and  that  the  undergraduates  got  the 
mistaken  impression  that  the  college  was 
responsible  for  the  abolition  of  the  social 
aspects  of  the  Carnival. 

Fraternity  Dance  Approved 

Moreover,  Mr.  Newhall  gave  his  ap- 
proval to  a  private  fraternity  dance,  the 
student  said,  Ihus  opening  up  the  possi- 
bililN'  of  a  half  ilozen  or  more  private 
dances  which  would  have  been  more  costly 
than  the  usual  Winter  Carnival  dances. 

According  to  the  opinion  of  this  under- 
graduate, all  this  confusion  would  have 
been  avoided  if  the  matter  had  beim 
discussed  as  a  routine  matter  of  the  pro- 
posed joini  facult\-stii<lenl  group.

to  actiim  tomorrow  afternoon  al  4:,tO, 
when  it  faces  the  star-studded  St.  Nicholas 
Hockey  Club  of  Brooklyn  on  Cole  I'iiKI 
Rink.  Already  boasting  a  4-3  Iriimiph 
over  Princeton,  St.  Nick's  is  coniposoj 
mostly  of  former  Yale,  Harvard,  Prince,

Kept  off  the  ice  for  the  past  two  urcks 
by  a  combination  of  exams  and  w.irni 
weather,  the  Purple  skaters  will  g,i  mu, 
the  game  with  the  remembrance  ol  last

For  this  game,  however,  the  lin.  up

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  JANUARY  30,  1942 


^Cow/'Sketch'Plan 
Joint  Publication 
For  the  Duration 

'Gul'  Speeds  Copy  and 
Photographs  for  April 
Deadline    on     Yearbook 

Plans  for  tin-  proposed  mcri^er  of  the 
I'lirple  Cow  and  Sketch  maKazinus,  are 
pciidinK  on  the  nieethij;  iif  the  Boards  of 
I  lie   two  orf!ani/ations    Monday. 

Donald  Booz  '42,  aclhiK-Editor  of 
Skelcli,  expressed  the  desire  to  form  a 
,  nllej,'i-  humor  nuiKazine  patterned  on  the 
Sew  Yorker,  with  hoth  Sketch  and  Cow 
Hoards  contributinj;  and  working  as  a 
|,iinl  board.  Under  this  plan,  the  nia(;a- 
/iiie  would  be  published  once  a  month  and 
ntain  the  name  Purple  Qrw,  with  Sketch, 
a  newcomer  to  the  campus  in  1935,  losing 
Its  identity  for  the  duration. 

Booz  Urges  Combination 

The  1942  Board  of  Sketch  will  continue 
1.1  head  the  organization  for  two  more 
1-sues,  when  the   1943    Board  takes  over. 

Brewster  Chapman  '42,  acting-liditor 
,1  the  I'lirple  Cmi\  declared  that  the  details 
.it  a  possible  merger  would  Ix'  ironed  out 
ill  Monday's  meeting,  but  that  some  sort 
,.l  combination  would  be  adopted  with  a 
joint  board  consisting  of  the  two  '43 
Boards.  Chapman  added  that  the  ditfi- 
iiilties  in  advertising  conflicts  which  such 
,1  merger  would  produce  were  at  a  mini- 
mum, as  the  Sketch's  coverage  of  local 
.iilvertising,  would  interlock  with  the 
I'mSs  national  advertising,  and  give  it 
himiu'ial  stabilil>'. 

Co-ordination    of    Talents    Necessary 

lioth  men  stressed  that  the  success  of 
tile  venture  would  depend  on  the  abilit\' 
of  the  two  Boards  to  co-ordinate  their 
talents  into  a  magazine  containing  ma- 
in iai  similar  to  the  A^ew  Yorker. 

Malcolm  Clark  '43,  Editor  of  the  Gul- 
imensian,  announced  this  week,  thai  dui'  to 
the  year  book's  coming  out  April  20,  the 
Hoard  is  elTecting  a  drastic  speeding  up  of 
the  deadline  for  all  copy  and  photographs. 
Literary  material  is  due  on  February  21, 
H-ilh  t'"'  majority  of  it  expected  by 
.  .i,,,..ii\  1.      ,^' 

Plioto  Deadline  Tuesday 

i)\er  this  weekend,  the  last  photographs 
«ill  be  taken  and  Clark  stressetl  the 
importance  of  everyone  getting  to  his 
M-licduled  picture  promptly,  so  that  the 
|)liotographic  work  can  be  completed  by 
iu\t  Tuesday.  The  faculty  pages  will 
I  .irr\-  at  least  one  informal  cut  each,  with 
.i\\  organization  pictures  alwo  being 
informal. 

Chief  headache  of  the  present  Board  is 
the  recruiting  of  the  1945  Board.  Only 
Mile  competition  has  been  held  and  but 
three  members  .selected.  Clark  declared 
thai  Editor-elect,  Frank  VVozencraft  '44, 
will  have  to  inaugurate  a  new  s\slem  by 
liiililing  a  sophomore  competition  for  1945 
during  the  summer  term. 

Naval  Supply  Corps 

The  President's  Oflice  has  been  in- 
I'liiiied  by  the  Navy  Department  that  the 
I' ipiirements  for  appointment  to  the 
Naval  Supply  Corps  have  been  altered. 
Whereas  only  majors  in  Economics  or 
business  Administration  were  eligible 
pieviimsly  under  the  new  program  any 
<  "liege  graduate  below  the  age  of  twenty- 
-i\  with  at  least  12-20  vision  can  make 
.ipplication.  The  whole  quota  for  the 
I  nited  States  in  the  Supply  Corps  is  350. 


Relay   Team   Invited 
To   Millrose  Games 

Coach  Plansky's  mile  relay  team  speeded 
up  workimls  this  week,  as  the  Millrose 
Games  Connnittee  tendered  it  an  invita- 
tion to  compete  in  the  Games  on  Februar\' 
7.  With  the  meet  ten  da\s  awaj',  the 
first  team  of  Chapman,  Peck,  Heppes, 
and  Hunsdorfer  began  to  .shape  up  in  the 
time  trials  held  last  week.  Peck  running 
a  53.6  (piarter  on  the  difficult  outdoor 
track. 

Trips    Limited 

Due  to  the  official  college  policy  of 
curtailing  the  expenses  of  athletic  trips, 
the  team  has  been  limited  to  three  meets 
this  year.  With  plans  tdready  settled  for 
the  Andover  Meet  on  February  14  at 
Andover,  Massachusetts,  only  one  more 
meet  can  be  scheduled. 

The  choices  of  a  final  meet  ha\'e  been 
narrowed  down  to  either  the  1.C.4-A 
Meet  in  Madison  Square  Garden,  or  the 
Boston  Garden  Meet  on  f'ebruarv  20. 
The  I.C.4-A  Meet  would  be  individual 
competition  for  the  specialists  on  the  team, 
while  the  Boston  Garden  Meet  would  be 
for  the  mile  relay  team. 

RESIGNATIONS

commission    before    entering    the    actual 
service.    , 

Two  seniors,  Putnam  Schroeder  and 
ClifTord  C.  Tippit  have  resigned  to  take 
meteorology  courses  at  N.  \.  V.  and 
M.  1.  T.  respectively.  Three  other  men 
from  the  same  class  are  now  at  Harvard 
Business  School  taking  a  course  in  indus- 
trial management.  'They  are:  Edward 
E.  James,  Robert  A.  X'anderbilt,  and  John 
M.  Wolf  who  bring  thi'  seniors'  delegation 
i  for  natiomd  defense  in  this  latest  group  to 
leave  up  to  eleven  men,  almost  two  thirds 
of  the  total  number  of  man  who  have  left 
during  the  last  two  weeks.  Bruce  F. 
Brown's  leaving  for  a  defense  job  gives 
the  juniors  two  representatives.  1944 
has  the  same  nuntber  while  1945  has  one 
man. 

Juniors  Apply 

Of  the  undergraduates  who  applied  for 
the  prereipiisiled  for  the  \'-7  plan  from  the 
Dean's  ollice  eighteen  are  seniors  and 
thirty-three  are  juniors.  'These  men  will 
be  allowed  to  linish  their  senior  year  and 
then  will  be  trained  prior  to  receiving 
their  commissions.  'Those  seniors  already 
sworn  into  this  branch  of  the  Navy  when 
'Thk  Kecoud  went  to  press  are  John 
Boylston,  'Theodore  F.  Carter,  Jack  K. 
(heenland,  Robert  E.  Hughes,  Paul  R. 
Lawrence,  Jr.,  Richard  S.  Stewart,  and 
Alexander  M.  Swain,  Jr. 

Juniors  who  havi'  already  sworn  in  are 
Frederick  R.  Barnes,  John  Birnie,  Ren- 
wick  E.  Case,  Bryant  W.  Dennison, 
Francis  E.  Dolan,  John  C.  Fuller,  Gordon 
T.  Getsinger,  Theodore  L.  HalT,  Bruce  B. 
Lanier,  Richard  K.  Means,  Henry  M. 
Oliver,  Jr.,  H.  Tom  Rogers,  Merwin  A. 
SheketofT,  and  Paul  G.  Smith. 

Williams  courses  leading  to  commissions 
in  the  Coast  Guard  and  the  Navy  will  be 
working  at  a  capacity.  Fifty  men  have 
been  taken  into  the  mathematics  classes 
that  are  designed  to  fulfill  mathematics 
requirements  for  these  two  branches  of  the 
service.  Math  Ic  has  been  divided  into 
two  sections  of  eighteen  each  while  Math 
2c  will  have  fourteen  men. 

Of  the  lifty-tvvo  applicants  for  Astron- 
omy 4-x  oidy  twenty-two  were  accepted. 
Essentially  a  course  in  navigation  and 
seamanship,  this  class  will  hold  two  hour 
laboratories.  When  this  is  done,  class 
recitations  will  be  proportionately  cut 
down. 


Perry's  Class  Improves 
Students'  Reading  Rate 

Comprehensive       Abilities 
Increase       with       Speed 

Thirty- live  freshmen  and  sophomores 
have  improved  their  average  reading  speed 
sixty-one  per  cent,  or  130  words  per 
minute,  through  a  voluntary  reading 
course  conducted  last  semester  by  William 
G.  Perry,  assistant  to  the  Dean.  Statis- 
tics compiled  after  the  completion  of  the 
five-week  couise  on  January  12,  show  that 
at  this  new  rate  of  reading  the  average 
stude;it's  quality  of  comi)rehensioii  in- 
creaseil  seven  per  cent  while  the  number  of 
correct  answers  he  could  give  in  a  fixed 
time  on  a  test  of  reading-studying  ability 
ruse  iift>'-fi\-e  per  cent. 

Students  Save  15  Hours 

On  a  speed  test  given  last  September  the 
average  student  in  this  section  ranked  in 
the  lower  fifteen  per  cent  of  the  freshman 
class.  If  he  had  read  at  his  iire.sent  speed 
he  would  have  ranked  in  the  top  ten  per 
cent.  'The  value  of  this  gain  is  shown  by 
the  h\A  that  if  a  student  were  to  ajjply  but 
half  of  it  to  his  regular  study  he  woulit  get 
back  the  time  invested  in  the  class  in  less 
than  two  weeks. 

-Mr.  Perry  pointed  out  that  the  average 
student  probably  saved  the  entire  fifteen 
hours  before  the  end  of  the  course  itself. 
He  went  on  to  say  that  students  ttiking 
the  class  under  the  accelerated  program 
will  still  be  greatly  benefited  and  that  the 
loss  in  time  is  only  an  apparent  one. 
Curriculum  Reading  Used

College  Grants  Winch 
Semester's  Absence 

Ralph  1'.  Winch,  assistant  professor  of 
physics  atid  secretary  of  the  faculty,  has

Thi'  Htrksliiri'  County  Anciit.  lo^iil 
ri-pri-sciitativi'  of  the  Di'partnu'Ht  of 
AuricuUurc-,  lias  clashed  cold  water  on 
Acting  lVesi<lent  Richard  A.  Newhall's 
tentative  phms  for  a  Willlamstown  Com- 
munity War  Kami. 

In  a  conference  witli  Mr.  N'ewhall  the 
county  agent  indicated  that  it  is  not  tlie 
go\'<'rninent's  polic\'  to  encourage  new 
ilgricullural  enterprises  at  this  time.  He 
pointed  out  that  Washington  agricultural 
officials  feel  that  maxinui.n  pro<luctive 
efficiency  can  be  l^etter  assured  by  exteiul- 
ing  land  already  under  cultivation  l)y 
tx'nipetent  fanners  rather  th;ui  by  develop- 
ing new  tracts  of  virgin  soil.  I  le  expressed 
scepticism  as  to  the  competence  and  effi- 
ciency of  a  group  of  "amateur"  student 
farmers. 

Other  inipediinents  to  the  local  agri- 
cultural venture  are  difficulties  in  ob- 
taining fertilizer  and  farming  implements 
due  to  government  nitrate  and  steel 
priorities.  Another  factor  working  against 
the  establishment  of  a  Willlamstown 
"colU'Ctive"  is  the  rtvord  of  War  Farm 
failures  of  World  War  1. 

Other  Opportunities  Open 

In  his  conference  with  President  New- 
hall  the  County  Agent  emphasized,  how- 
ever, that  opixirtuiuties  for  undergraduate 
agricultural  comimmity  service  during  the 
ciilk'ge  summer  sessi.in  are  still  open.  A 
survey  is  being  conducted  currently  to 
determine  the  exti'Ut  of  Herkshire  farm 
labor  shortages  brought  on  by  the  denumds 
of  the  nation's  armed  forces. 

According  to  Albert  \'.  Osterhout, 
Executive  Secretary  of  the  Student  .'\id 
Committee,  it  may  be  possible  to  employ 
scholarshi])  students  accustomed  to  gain- 
ing revenue  through  sununer  work  on 
those  Berkshire  Countv-  farms  where  a 
shortage  of  hands  exists.

'Im  W  .lli.Tii...  Christian  Association.  Each 
01  these  groups  agreed  to  have  its  money 
pooled  in  this  "appreciabh'  liquid  form". 
The  other  83000  came  directly  from 
S.  A.  C.  funds  and  is  a  result  of  the  fact 
that  extra-curricular  budgets  have  been 
curtailed,  in  this  way  making  a  surplus 
over  the  original  cushion  account. 
Bonds  of  Series  F 

I'be  bonds  purchased  were  of  Series  I'" 
which  enables  the  purchasing  group  to 
exceed  the  S5,0()0  personal  limit  placed  on 
the  usual  bond  of  series  1'..  The  latter 
type  is  the  one  purchased  b\  Williams 
students.  Bonds  of  series  F  hear  a  greater 
maturity  value  over  a  long  period  of  time 
than  those  of  series  E.  However,  during 
a  shorter  period  the  latter  give  a  greater 
percentage  return.  Based  on  their  matur- 
ity value  twelve  years  hence,  the  purchase 
was  made  in  the  following  allotments:  one 
$.S,0()0  bond,  one  81,000  bonds,  and  eight 
$100  ones. 

The  original  idea  behind  this  move  to 
utilize  what  were  apparently  idle  funds, 
was  introduced  by  the  executive  com- 
mittee of  the  S.  A.  C.  A  committee  com- 
posed of  \incent  M.  Barnett,  Jr.,  instruc- 
tor in  political  science.  Jack  K.  Greenland 
and  David  K.  Peet,  Jr.  '42  was  appointed 
to  make  the  actual  purchase  at  the 
VVilliamstow'n  National  Hank.

'I'd  Ihe  Editors  nf  Tiik  Kkicuu): 
•  We  wish  fj  raise  a  few  ([uestions  con- 
cerning the  I'ndergraduate  Council  and 
its  functions.  T'o  (|Uote  the  College 
catalogue  for  November,  I'Ml:  "The 
fimetion  of  the  Council  is  to  legislate  and 
enforce  regul.itions  pertaining  to  cxtta- 
(nirricular  activities  which  are  within  the 
control  of  the  uiuUTgradn;ites  acting 
collectively.  Us  duties  als)  include  con- 
trol over  fraternity  ru.shing,  student 
petitions  for  undergraduate  agencies, 
houscparties,  and  various  other  jobs  of  a 
less  important  nature." 

The  impetus  which  caused  the  under- 
signed to  write  this  letter  was  the  recent 
car  ban  enacted  by  the  Council.  We  do 
not  object  to  the  ends  obtained;  namely, 
conservation  of  tires,  but  we  do  obiect 
to  the  means  b\-  which  it  was  obtained. 
Upon  the  surface  this  appears  to  be  a 
trivial  criticism  and  mere  quibbling,  l)iit 
we  feel  that  closer  inspection  of  the  matter 
will  prove  contrary.  Referring  to  the 
above  quote  from  the  catalogue  we  fail 
to  see  that  the  ban  has  lieeii  legally  en- 
acted, and  feel  that  the  Council  over- 
stepped the  duties  of  its  oflice. 

W'e  assume,  and  should  like  clarification 
if  our  assumption  is  wr.ing,  that  the 
Council  represents  the  students  and  that  it 
is  not  a  legislative  arm  of  the  college 
authorities,  and  that  it  is  not  connected 
to  the  latter  in  any  way.  The  inter- 1 
mediary  group  between  the  students  and  I 
the  college  authorities  appears  to  be  the 
l^xecutive  Committee,  and  not  the 
Council.     To   cpiote   from   the  catalogue: 

"The  powers  of  the  Commiitee   are  

to  .let  as  an  intermediary  between  the 
undergraduates  and  the  administration." 
The  above  seems  to  bear  out  our  point 
th.it  the  Council  is  not  connected  with  the 
administration. 

With  this  in  mind  we  feel  that  there  are 
some  inconsistencies  concerning  the  car 
ban,  and  present  the  following  reasoning. 
In  order  to  get  driving  permission  the 
student  must  obtain  a  permit  from  the 
Dean.  The  permission  to  dri\e  in  \Vil- 
liamstown  has  lieen  suspeiuled  by  the 
Council.  As  yet  no  word  has  come  from 
the  Dean's  Oftice  that  the  permits  issued 
by  that  office  have  been  (pialified  con- 
cerning driving  in  the  town  or  revoked. 
The  permit  reads:  "A  B  is  per- 

mitted, so  far  as  the  authority  of  the 
College  is  concerned,  to  oper.ite  a  motor 
vehicle  until  June,  l')42.  (This  permit 
may  be  levoked  at  any  time)."  It  would 
appear  that  the  driving  permission  is  still 
in  effect  until  the  Dean  takes  action.  If 
the  Council  had  the  sanction  of  the  Dean's 
OlTice  in  enacting  the  ban,  we  feel  the 
existence  of  the  Council  is  meaningless, 
as  the  same  could  have  been  accomplished 
by  the  administration. 

Therefm-e  we  h,i\e  felt  that  a  clarifica- 
tion of  the  functions  :ind  powers  of  the 
Couiici'  is  pertinent.  W'e  assumed  that 
it  is  to  represent  the  student  body.  If 
that  is  the  case,  are  the  members  obligated 
to  vote  according  to  their  own  opinions  or 
iiceording  to  the  feeling  of  the  social  unit 
which  the>'  represent?  Do  the  powers 
delegated  to  the  Council  come  from  the 
student  body  with  the  permission  of  the 
administration  or  do  the  powers  come 
directly  from  the  administration?  If  the 
lattei  is  so  we  feel,  as  we  mentioned  above, 
that  the  existence  of  the  Council  is  of  no 
importance.  We  therefore  suggest  that 
the  Constitution  of  the  Council  be  printed 
in  PiiK  Rkcoiu),  and  that  the  incon- 
sistencies which  we  ha\e  pointed  out  be 
explained. 

We  should  like  further  to  question  the 


basis  lor  the  car  ban  in  Williamstown. 
.»\t  the  beginning  of  the  letter  we  ste.teil 
that  it  would  be  foolish  to  drive  in  th. 
town,  but  is  it  up  to  the  Council  to  decide 
our  own  minds  on  this  matter?  We  feel 
that  driving  is  :i  (piestiini  th;it  should  be 
answered  by  the  individual's  own  con- 
science. The  Naticnial  Ciovcrnment  h:'s 
urged  conservition,  i'.nd  it  is  to  the  benefit 
of  the  Individual  to  comply  with  this. 
As  patriotic  citizens,  we  wish  to  conform 
with  the  desires  of  our  government,  and 
none  of  the  undersigned  intend  or  wish  to 
be  wasteful,  but  we  feel  the  Council  did 
not  haxe  the  proper  authority  to  enact  the 
ban.  The  Council  should  regukite  us  es 
students,  and  not  as  citizens. 

In  conclusion  we  restate  that  we  do  nci 
object  to  the  ends,  namely,  conservation 
as  such,  but  that  we  do  object  to  the 
means,  namely,  the  Council's  legislatijn. 
We  feel  that  this  tpiestijn  touches  upon 
the  fundamental  basis  of  the  Council,  and 
hope  that  a  statement  of  clirification  from 
the  Council  will  be  forthc.nning.

One  Ihoiisancl  years  ago  ihe  Chinese  had  discovered  gun- 
powder, had  invented  and  learned  to  use  the  mariner's  compass, 
and  were  actually  printing  hooks.  ..  Incredible?  Not  more  so, 
certainly,  than  the  fact  that  they  used  GAS  for  lighting  purposes 
more  than  .500  years  before  the  discovery  of  America.  However, 
It  remained  for  Europe  —  where  gas  first  was  heard  of  in  the  17th 
century  —  to  lay  the  groundwork  for  a  mighty  new  industry,  in- 
dispensable to  the  welfare  and  progress  of  mankind. 

During  the  last  50  years,  particularly,  gas  service  has  made 
tremendous  strides  and,  today,  millions  of  American  families 
depend  upon  it  to  lighten  housekeeping  cares  —  including  cook- 
ing, water  heating,  refrigeration  and  house  heating.  In  industry 
Its  uses  arc  many  and  varied.  How  the  ancient  Chinese  would

r;in('rs  ajiaiiist  an  inexperienced  Wesleyan 
qninlet  tomorrow  night  at  8:.30  on  the 
l.asi'll  court  when  they  go  in  cpiest  of  their 
initial  Little  Three  triumph  of  the  season 
ami  their  third  straight  victory  over  the 
Wesmen. 

With  nine  contests  and  Saturday's 
,  iii;agenient  with  the  freshmen  already 
miller  their  belts,  the  veteran  Eph  cpiintet 
rules  as  a  slight  favorite  in  the  renewal  of

C'a|)tain-elert  Jack  (iregory  who  failed  to

Jiihiison,  newly  elected  captain. 

Shifting  his  line-up  throiigluuii  the

oi.irkcrs  against  the  Purple  last  year  in  the 
sccniid  meeting  of  these  teams,  will  pair 
with  either  Charley  Uoberts  or  Pop

Locke  Opposes  Letting; 
Frosh  Play  on  Varsity 

'Unnecessary  Until  Size 
of      College      Decreases' 

Dr.  lulwin  A.  Locke,  director  of  healtii 
■  nul  athletics,  this  week  declared  that  for 
I  In-  present  there  would  lie  no  possibility 
■'f  allowing  freshmen  to  compete  on  varsity 
.itliletic  teams.  The  time  may  come, 
however,  when  the  size  of  the  college  is 
diminished  and  this  move  will  become  a 
necessity,  Dr.  Locke  asserted. 

Last  year  72  .3  per  cent  of  the  class  of 
l'M4  competed  in  at  least  one  inter- 
collegiate sport,  the  athletic  director 
slated.  "Because  freshman  teams  give 
die  desired  training  and  discipline  to  such 
•1  large  percentage  of  that  class,  only  a 
^niall  percentage  of  whom  would  ever  go 
out  for  a  varsity  sport,  it  is  essential  that 
die  college  keep  these  teams  as  long  as  the 
si/e  of  the  .student  body  permits,"  he  said, 
lie  emphasized  that  the  best  way  to  train 
undergraduates  is  by  sports  teams  and  not 
li>'  calisthenics  and  physical  training. 
Only  Two  Years  on  Varsity 

I  )r  Locke  realized  that  this  would  give 
stutlents  only  two  years  of  varsity  com- 
lietition,  but  he  added  that  there  was  no 
reason  why  the  athletic  program  should 
not  be  telescoped  just  as  the  scholastic  and 
extra-curricular  activities  had  been. 

Purtlierniore,  Dr.  Locke  pointed  out 
diat  a  freshman  coming  to  college  should 
have  time  to  orient  himself,  and  that 
placing  hiiTi  on  a  varsity  squad  right  away 
might  even  have  "demoralizing  effects" 
upon  his  scholastic  work.  Allowing  fresh- 
men to  play  on  varsity  teams  would  also 
Hive  predominance  to  certain  selected  men 
who  had  football  talents  to  the  detriment 
of  others,  he  said. 


AlvinE.  Duerr  '93  To 
Discuss  Fraternities 
in  Jesup  Hall  Sunday) 


Presented  by  the  Gargoyle  Societ\', 
Alvin  E.  Duerr  '93,  will  speak  in  Jesup 
Hall  Sunday  night.  His  topic,  as  an- 
nounced by  Robert  B.  Swain,  Jr.  '42, 
president  of  the  organization,  will  be 
"Fraternities  I'ace  a  Crisis." 

Mr.  Duerr  is  a  recognized  authority  on 
the  fraternity  problem  having  been  for 
many  years  a  member  of  the  National 
Interfraternity  Council  and  for  two  years

the  editor  of  the  Annual  Survey  of  Scholar-

written  several  articles  for  periodicals  on 
the  subject,  "The  Place  and  Opportunity

De  Gaullist  Aiglon 
Flays  Appeasement 

Defends  Seizure  of  St.

Fleet    Will    Never    Yield 

Dedaullist  Kaiiul  .'\iglon  struck  another 
blow  for  a  Krei-  I'rance  last  night  when  he 
deflated  the  American  State  DepartnuMit's 
delicate  excuses  for  appeasing   Vichy. 

.Mglon  emphasized  the  dedication  to  the 
task  of  breaking  the  fascist  \"oke  of  Free 
Frenchmen  liolh  outside  and  inside  of 
occupied  France.  He  declared  that  resis- 
taiiei'  ami  sabotage  under  I  he  direction  of 
student  leaders  within  France  was  a  very 
serious  iiroblem  for  the  Nazis.  "Ninety- 
eight  percent  ol  I'rance  support  the  hreei 
French  movement,"  he  asserl<'d,  "and  the] 
spirit  of  the  pi'ii|ile  will  nni  lie  liroken." 
Talks  on  Vichy- Washington  Relations 

It  was  not  until  the  iiuestion  period  that 
-Aiglon  approached  the  delicate  topic  of 
Wasliington-\'icli\'  relations.  He  indi- 
caled  thai  the  .Slate  Department  had  no 
sound  basis  for  protesting  the  F'rei'  French  1 
occupation  of  the  islands  of  .St.  Pierre  and 
.Miquelon.  The  |)roteBt  w.'is  explained  ' 
otlicially  as  a  move  to  prevent  full  \icliy 
collaboration  with  the  A.xis  and  as  an 
inducement  to  Pelain  to  r<'tain  his  hold  on

the  French  fleet  which  Hitler  dangles  over  '

Social  Unit  Heads 
Register  Approval 
For  Co-op  Buying 

Six  of  Fourteen  Believe 
They  Will  Enter  Plan; 
Others  Wait  on  Alumni 

by  GioouGE  Y.  Neiihii.vs  '44 

I  raditionally  conservative  Williams  fra- 
ternities are  reserved  in  their  general 
appnival  of  the  Campus  liusiness  Manage- 
ment plan,  a  Ri.;coRn  poll  of  ofticials  of 
fourteen  of  the  sixteen  social  groups 
indicated  yesterday. 

.Six  of  fourteen  fraternity  presidents  and 
treasurers  interviewed  believed  that  their 
hcnises  would  enter  the  management  plan 
which  calls  for  the  approval  of  at  least 
twelve  social  groups.  Only  one  felt  his 
house  would  not  enter,  two  were  extremely 
dubious,  and  five  declined  to  comment 
until  they  received  the  views  of  their 
alumni. 

\'iews  of  the  resi)ecti\-e  house  presidents 
and  treasurers  follow: 

Garfield  Club— President  L.  Phili]) 
Muller  could  not  be  reached  licfore 
Rkcouu   deadline. 

Alpha  Delta  Phi— President  Hugo  A. 
Oswald,  Jr.:  ".As  far  as  the  report  goes, 
it's  very  g<iod.  I'm  sure  we  would  go  into 
such  a  plan,  especially  in  \iew  of  the 
present  war  conditions." 

Beta  Theta  Pi— X'ice-President  John 
Ho\lstoii:  "If,  when  all  the  facts  and 
ligures  are  in,  the  cooperative  plan  gives 
indications  of  saving  money,  we'll  go  in, 
but  it  seems  that  the  amount  to  be  paid  for 
the  plan  will  put  an  awful  burden  on  the 
houses.  In  m>'  opinion  it'll  be  a  close  bet, 
but  we'll  go  in." 

Chi  Psi— President  Herbert  Holdi-n, 
|r.;  "I  think  we'll  del'inilely  go  in  on  the 
plan,  but  before  I'd  give  linal  approval 
I'd  want  to  know  what  provisions  were  to 
be  made  for  the  purchase,  allotnu'nl,  and 
c|ualit\'  of  Ihe  food." 

Delta  Kappa  Epsilon — President  Bur- 
ton v..  McCami:  "As  far  as  I'm  concerned 
I  think  it's  a  good  idea,  and  I  believe  the 
house  will  probably  be  in  on  il." 

Delta  Phi— President  George  P. 
Heppes,  Jr.:  "We  will  have  to  consult  our 
alumni  before  we  can  say  anything 
definite,  but  in  m\'  opinion,  although  it  is 
a  giKMl  plan  for  the  future,  it  lacks  ex-ideiice 
of  ininu'diate  savings." 

Delta  Psi— President  Kolierl  li.  Swain, 
Jr.,  declined  to  comiiieiu  unlil  be  has

"Will  personnel  representatives  see  us 
if  our  military  status  is  indefinite;  will 
personnel  men  see  us  if  we  are  going  into 
the  service  immediately  upon  graduation?" 
— such  are  the  oft-received  (pieries  at  the 
W'illiams  Placement  Bureau.  In  answer 
to  these  tpiestions  the  bureau  offers  infor- 
mation obtained  through  correspondence 
with  the  various  visiting  per.sonnel  men. 

In  the  lirst  place,  many  of  the  companies 
are  interested  in  interviewing  seniors  and 
placing  them  right  after  graduation  even 
if  onl>-  a  few  months  are  open  before  the 
man  enters  the  military  service.  Some 
personnel  men  are  also  interested  in  those 
whose  military  status  can  be  classified  as 
indefinite — those  who  may  be  available 
for  a  period  of  time,  regartlless  of  its 
length.  In  addition  others  specify  a 
definite  training  period  for  which  the 
prospective  employee  shouki  be  available. 
Companies  Still  Want   College  Man 

Finally,  a  few  organizations  want  to 
have  interviews  with  the  students,  whether 
or  not  they  are  slated  for  immediate  mili- 
tary duty;  thus  making  the  contact 
through  which  the  graduate  may  apply 
for  employment  after  the  war.

PREAMBLE 

Publishing  weekly  on  a  wartime  .schedule  for  the  next  two  .semesters, 
the  editors  and  managers  of  1913  who  today  launch  The  Recoud  on  its 
thirly-.seventh  year  will  attcnii)t  to  help  Williams  College  serve  a  con- 
structive, democratic  function  in  u  nation  at  war.  We  will  ju.stify 
editorial  action  on  facts  and  deliherate  opinion  —  not  on  the  good  inten- 
tions which  pave  an  editor's  road  to  Hell.  To  effect  this  policy  with  the 
least  possible  error,  editorial  o|)iiii()ns  will  not  arbitrarily  be  those  of  the 
editor-ill-chief,  as  ha.s  been  the  custom  in  the  past,  hut  will  also  be  based 
on  the  opinion  of  other  members  of  the  editorial  staff. 

Why  .stress  service  for  Williams  when  today's  vital  need  is  service 
for  America?  We  stress  service  for  Williams,  tiecause  we  believe  that  a 
sincere  desire  to  learn  and  develop  mentally  and  physically,  a  genuine 
appreciation  of  this  college's  opportunities,  and  a  realization  of  the 
democratic  values  which  are  inherent  in  fraternity,  academic,  or  extra- 
curricular life  will  be  our  best  present  contributions  to  democracy's  fight. 
Wc  arc  convinced  that  we  can  best  serve  the  United  States  by  staying  at 
WilliaiiKs  —  by  following  Mr.  Roosevelt's  advice  and  doing  the  best 
jiossible  job  here  until  the  government  calls  us  to  join  the  armed  forces. 
We  stress  .service  for  Williams,  because  through  the  democracy,  the  educa- 
tion, the  coniradeshii>  of  this  college  we  can  raise  ourselves  to  the  level  of 
those  men  whose  strength  of  leaderslui)  and  courage  of  heart  will  help  us 
to  win  the  war  —  whose  sincerity  of  faith  and  depth  of  thought  will  help 
us  to  win  the  peace. 

Too  few  men  at  Williams  accept  their  responsibilities  as  citizens  of  a 
democratic,  educational  institution.  Too  many  say  with  finality  (and 
without  jiLstification):  "I  owe  nothing  to  Williams  College  —  I  pay  for 
what  I  get."  By  adopting  a  policy  which  emphasizes  the  standards  and 
values  of  the  liberal  arts  tradition,  by  stressing  the  goals  toward  which 
Williams  College  and  the  United  States  have  been  fighting  since  their 
founders  fell  in  battle.  The  Recoud  hopes  to  do  its  part  in  combatting 
the  indifference,  the  unbridled  individualism,  the  excessive  materialism 
which  are  the  true  Munichs  and  Pearl  Harbors  of  our  generation. 

To  realize  this  i)olicy.  The  Rkcokd  will  emphasize  six  points  in  the 
immediate  future.  First,  this  ncwsiiaper  will  back  all  practical  move- 
ments tlcsigned  to  integrate  the  students,  faculty,  and  alumni  more  closely 
into  the  life  of  the  college.  A  more  powerful,  aggressive  Undergraduate 
Council,  a  responsible  student-faculty  committee  to  legislate  on  mutual 
problems,  and  a  committee  of  undergraduates  to  propose  and  discuss 
jiroblenis  with  members  of  the  board  of  trustees  will  all  be  investigated 
and  debated  in  these  columns.  Second,  The  Recohd  will  constantly 
urge  improvement  of  college  publicity  services,  and  in  line  with  this 
campaign,  herein  gives  permission  to  any  newspaper,  magazine,  or  other 
jjuhlication  to  reprint  any  article  appearing  in  this  paper,  provided  proper 
acknowledgement  is  forthcoming.  Thir<l,  this  newspaper  will  suj)port  all 
activit'ics  —  particularly  the  Annual  Spring  Conference  —  which  put 
before  the  undergradviate  body  the  problems  of  democracy  during  war 
and  peace. 

Fourth,  TiiK  Riot'oiiD  will  urge  the  Administration  immediately  to 
place  a  far  greater  imijortance  on  jihysical  training  for  war  than  it  has  so 
far  done.  Fifth,  all  cam))aigns  intended  to  make  much-needed  economies 
on  this  campus,  all  stejjs  directed  towards  the  immediate  installation  of 
Campus  Business  Management  at  Williams  will  find  support  in  these 
columns.  Lastly,  The  Recoud  will  attempt  to  prepare  brief  surveys 
of  the  various  departments  of  the  Williams  faculty,  ami  will  present  such 
material  as  a  guide  to  undergraduates  who  are  about  to  register  for  future 
courses  and  majors. 

With  this  policy,  with  these  .six  .specific  goals,  the  new  editors  dedicate 
The  IlEf'ouD  to  a  fuller  concept  of  the  role  that  Williams  must  play  in  the 
development  of  strong,  intelligent,  courageous  leadership  for  an  embattled 
democracy.  Every  effort  will  be  made  to  help  the  college  generate  the 
true  citizenship  needed  to  wage  a  victorious  war  and  a  victorious  peace. 
May  the  weeks  or  months  of  Williams  life  which  remain  before  we  take  our 
place  with  the  front-line  defenders  of  .\merica  give  us  the  strength,  the 
intelligence,  the  ability  to  serve  the  college  and  the  nation  —  to  defeat 
the  tyranny  which  threatens  to  engulf  the  world  —  to  preserve  for  all 
mankind  the  right  to  life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness.

In  their  first  encounter  of  the  1942 
season,  the  Williams  wrestlers  will 
meet  their  toughest  opponent  of  the  year 
in  Lasell  Gym  tomorrow  at  three.  Having 
lost  no  members  of  his  squad  since  the  be- 
ginning of  the  season,  Uncle  Ed  Bullock 
hopes  to  throw  the  undefeated  Wesleyan 
team  in  spite  of  its  impressive  record. 


CONFERENCE 


(Continued  from  page  t) 
colleges  will  attend  the  conference. 
Another  innovation  is  the  possibility  that 
radio  st:itions  \V(iN' of  Schenectady,  N.\., 
WTR^'  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  WHRK  of  Pitts- 
lieUl,  and  VVBZA  of  Springfield  may  broitl- 
cast  conference  highlights. 

liconoiny  of  both  time  and  money  is 
being  stressed  by  this  year's  Conference 
Committee.  By  shifting  last  year's  Friday 
sessions  to  Sunday  and  by  telescoping  the 
Saturday  sessions,  possibility  of  conflicts 
with  the  war  production  |)rogram  and  the 
college  "speed-up"  had  been  reduced. 
Working  with  a  greatly  reduced  budget, 
the  Committee  h.is  also  taken  steps  to  cut 
expenses  wherever  possible  without  im- 
pairing the  quality  of  the  Conference. 

Prominent  among  the  n.itional  and 
international  figures  to  whom  invitations 
have  been  mailed  are  Wendell  L.  Willkie, 
1940  presidential  candidate,  and  Ambass- 
ador Maxime  LitvinolT,  .Soviet  envoy  in 
Washington  and  original  champion  of 
'Collective  Security". 

Invitations  have  also  been  sent  to  Max 


Werner,  Walter  Reuther,  Thurman  Ar- 
nold, James  Carey,  Lewis  Mumford,  Rear 
Admiral  Clark  Woodward,  \'iscount  Hali-

This  information  is  offered  by  the 
Placement  Bureau  as  an  antidote  to  the 
"defeatist"  attitude  which  many  of  the 
seniors  have  acquired.  It  is  aimed  to 
dispel  the  idea  that  the  employer  is  not 
interested  in  the  college  man  who  is  headed 
for  the  military  service. 


Fielding  a  team  composed  almost 
entirely  of  sophomores,  engaging  for  their 
first  time  in  a  varsity  capacity,  the  Wil-

opponent  in  Norwich  University  at  the 
Lasell    Gymnasium,    February    12. 


Vincent  M.  Barnett,  Jr.,  instructor 
in  political  science,  became  the  latest 
Williams  faculty  member  to  join  the  grow- 
ing delegation  in  Washington,  when  he  left 
Williamstown  Sunday  to  assume  his  new 
duties  there  as  assistant  director  of 
personnel  in  the  Office  of  Emergency 
Management.  Leave  of  absence  has  been 
granted  Mr.  Barnett  while  Thomas  Larsen, 
recently  a  teaching  fellow  at  Amherst,  will 
take  over  his  work  at  Williams. 


On  leave  of  absence  from  his  position  in 
the  Office  of  the  Coordinator  of  Defense 
Information,  President  James  P.  Baxter, 
.'Jrd  is  recuperating  in  the  college  infirmary 
after  an  operation  on  his  heel  early  this 
week. 


Coach  Tony  Plansky's  indoor  mile  re-

Chapman,  Peck,  Heppes,  llunsdorfer, 
and  Cooclbody  will  face  Columbia,  M.I.T., 
and  Amherst,  in  the  College  Invitation 
Mile  Relay.  One  of  the  five-man  team 
will  serve  as  an  alternate  as  Plansky  Wiis 
unable  to  decide  on  his  starting  team. 


Acting  this  week  to  solve  the  problem 
created  by  the  departure  from  college  of 
managers  and  assistant  managers,  the 
Executive  Committee  of  Purple  Key 

determined  to  admit  sophomores  who  have 
gained  places  in  their  respective  com- 
petitions to  full  membership  in  the  organ- 
ization. Membership  has  previously  been 
limited  to  juniors  and  seniors,  with  win- 
ners of  sophomore  competitions  joining 
at  the  beginning  of  their  junior  year.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY  6.  1942 


Yale  Sextet  Will  Play 
Host  To  Eph   Skaters 

Elis     Seek     Revenge     For 
Last       Season's       Upset 

I'jiger  to  avenge  last  season's  defeat  at 
Williams'  hands,  Yale's  high-scoring  rink- 
imri  will  play  host  to  the  Purple  six  in  the 
ICji  Arena  on  Wednesday.  Riding  high 
on  the  crest  of  victory  in  the  Quintagonal 
l.iague,  the  Bulldogs  will  provide  a  stern 
test  for  Coach  Whoops  Snively's  Ephmen.. 

That  amazing  victory  over  Yale, 
biDiight  about  by  five  goals  in  rapid-fire 
siKCOSsion  late  in  the  game,  was  the  crown- 
ing achievement  of  the  1941  season,  and 
Coach  Snively  is  hoping  that  his  team 
can  again  win.  Dogged  by  injuries  and 
ill-luck  so  far,  the  return  of  Bob  Nichols, 
fastest  skater  on  the  squad,  is  a  heartening 
iKitc  on  the  eve  of  this  severe  test. 
Hannock  in  Final  Yale  Game 

In  the  nets  for  his  last  crack  at  the  top- 
nouh  New  Haven  unit  will  be  Captain 
Marsh  Hannock,  who  staved  off  the  des- 
pciite  Elis  for  the  last  hectic  minutes  of  the 
I'Ml  encounter.  Teaming  with  him  on 
(lilcnse  will  be  Crun  Cole  and  liill  Courter, 
with  Ucrnie  Boykin  and  Ted  McFarland 
slaiid  to  see  action.  Offensively,  the 
niinn  of  Nichols  has  bolstered  the  squad, 
anil  Snively  will  have  a  full  quota  of  linos 
really  to  face  the  \'ale  puck-chasers. 


SKIING 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
Phil  Cole  contributed  heavily  to  the  Wil- 
liams scoring.  Ben  Schneider,  senior 
jumper,  took  a  third  for  the  Purple  in  his 
speciality,  while  Ken  Moore  contributed 
a  sixth  in  the  combined. 

Cyr  set  a  deceptive  slalom  on  Saturday 
afternoon  which  proved  a  nightmare  for 
the  runners  who  did  not  anticipate  the 
difficulties  involved  in  the  slippery  going. 
John  Gale  of  Middlebury  avoided  penal- 
ties and  falls  to  win  the  event  in  51  seconds, 
while  Phil  Cole  and  Romeyn  Everdell, 
usually  Purple  mainstays  in  the  slalom, 
placed  last  and  next  to  last. 

Dartmouth  Outing  Club  members  work- 
ed all  day  Saturday  to  make  possible  the 
holding  of  the  jumping  on  the  40  metre 
trestle  at  the  \'ale  of  Tempe  on  Sunday. 
Due  to  a  fast  and  uncertain  inrun,  the 
ccntestants  were  not  able  to  use  the  full 
capacity  of  the  hill.  Dunham  of  Middle- 
bury  leaped  28.5  metres  for  the  longest 
standing  jump  of  the  day.  Cole  and 
Schneider  were  close  behind  him  in  second 
and  third  places. 

When  the  final  team  standings  came  out, 
Dartmouth  had  571.86  points,  while 
Williams  took  runner-up  spot  with  537  .  77. 
The  results  were  announced  at  a  buffet 
supper  held  for  the  competitors  at  the 
Ski  H\it  of  the  Hanover  Inn.

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY  6,  1942 


Faculty   Committee   Will   Conduct  Session 
For  Training  Wardens  in  Air  Raid  Service 


by  VViNTiiuoi'  n.  KdciT 
Assocmte  I'rofessor  of  derma  n 

A  systfiu  of  air  raid  precautions  has 
been  set  up  Uic  the  College  by  the  faculty 
Coniniiltee  on  Cooperation  with  the 
National  Defense  Program.  The  set-up 
has  lieeii  kept  as  simple  as  possible  and 
makes  use  of  as  many  existing  organi- 
zations as  possible. 

The  s>stem  will  cover  colU'Re  buildings, 
and,  with  fraternity  cooperation,  the 
fraternity  houses.  A  group  of  165  post 
wardens  has  been  appointed  for  this  pur- 
pose from  the  student  body  with  about  15 
faculty  members  serving  in  addition  as 
officers  in  charge  of  certain  buildings. 
These  men  have  lieen  notified  by  a  letter 
sent  out  yesterday  of  their  appointment, 
and  assigned  to  the  various  college  and 
fraternity  buildings.  In  almost  every 
case  three  men  have  been  assigned  to  any 
given  building,  but  in  some  cases  larger 
squads  will  take  charge.  This  has  been 
arranged  with  the  cooperation  of  the 
Undergraduate  Council. 

Training  Session  in  Jesup 

A  training  session  will  bo  helfl  on  Tues- 
day evening,  February  10,  in  Jesup  Hall, 
which  all  the  post  wardens  must  attend. 
At  this  session  the  system  will  be  ex- 
plained; methods  of  handling  incendiary 
bombs,  etc.,  the  relations  of  the  College 
system  to  the  WiUiamstown  Civilian 
Defense  system,  blackout  regulations, 
and  other  germane  topics  will  be  discussed. 

It  is  further  planned  to  have  each  squad 
taken  through  its  assigned  building  at  a 
later  date  by  a  member  of  the  Williams- 
town  Auxiliary  Fire  Co.  who  will  explain 
to  the  post  wardens  their  specific  problems. 
Later  it  is  also  hoped  to  have  meetings  at 
which  the  system  will  be  explained  to  the 
whole  college  body.     Professor   Brainerd 


Mears  will  speak  on  incendiary  bombs  on 
Tuesday  night;  Professor  Emeritus  Samuel 
Allen  will  discuss  blackout  regulations. 
Mr.  C.  N.  Morgan  will  speak  for  the 
Undergraduate  Council  and  the  Chairman 
of  the  Conmiittee  on  Cooperation  with 
the  National  Defense  Program  will  explain 
the  new  system. 


Notices

Under  the  Selective  Service  Act  as 
amended  on  Dec.  20,  1941,  approximately 
275  students  will  be  required  to  register

reached  the  age  of  20  will  be  required  to 
register,  unless  they  have  done  so  previous- 
ly. A  group  of  faculty  members,  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Professor  Harper,  will 
register  all  students.  In  order  to  prevent 
congestion  and  delay  specific  hours  for 
registration  will  be  assigned  to  each  stu- 
dent concerned.  Announcement  of  the 
hours  and  place  for  registration  will 
be  made  in  the  next  issue  of  The  Recokd. 
A  list  of  the  students  with  the  hour  of

Hinman '43  Elected 
Network  President 

Witherell  '43  Appointed 
New  Production  Chief ; 
Changes    Recommended 

As  a  result  of  elections  held  last  Tues- 
day, Robert  W.  Hinnian  '43  was  chosen 
president,  and  VVillian\  C.  Schram  '43, 
secretary,  of  the  Williams  Network. 
William  R.  Witherell  '43  won  the  com- 
petition for  head  of  the  production  board; 
John  O.  Copley  '44  was  appointed  tech- 
nical manager,  and  Harold  T.  Johnson, 
Jr.  '43  was  retained  as  business  manager. 
Plans  for  Reorganization 

In  discussing  the  future  plans  of  the 
Network,  Hinman  disclosed  that  the  execu- 
tive committee  has  already  draughted  a 
preliminary  plan  for  reorganization,  aimed 
at  "progressive  reform  designed  to  present 
the  listener  with  a  greater  variety  of  good 
programs."  He  denied  that  there  would 
be  any  drastic  reshuffling  of  personnel, 
but  emphasized  that  immediate  action 
would  be  taken  to  improve  the  quality  of 
program  presentation,  through  increased 
cooperation  between  the  production  de- 
partment and  the  technical  staff. 
To  Continue  WBRK  Broadcasts 

William  R.  Witherell  '43,  the  new  pro- 
duction manager,  who  will  be  assisted  by 
Arthur  W.  Holt  '43,  has  proposed  a  plan 
that  separates  the  announcing  and  copy- 
writing  aspects  of  program  product i<m. 
This,  it  is  hoped,  would  "encourage  men 
who  are  not  adept  at  both  these  divisions 
to  partake  in  the  station's  activities." 
According  to  present  plans  the  recently 
inaugurated  scries  of  Sunday  afternoon 
programs,  emanating  from  WMS  studios 
in  WiUiamstown,  and  aired  over  WBRK 
in  Pittsfield,  will  be  continued.  In  the 
future  this  series  will  feature  programs 
stressing   "collegiate  atmosphere."

asserled  recently.

Dr.  Lock<'  explained  that  "lime  linii- i

would  prevent  immediate  expansion  ef 
athletics  to  train  men  for  war,  although  he 
emphasized  that  the  college  "has  no 
intention  of  cutting  down  on  opportunities 
for  students  to  take  part  in  organized 
sports."  On  June  29,  however,  the  college 
goes  back  to  its  regular  fourteen  week 
schedule,  which  will  give  e\ery  under- 
graduate seven  and  a  half  extra  hours  of 
time  each  week. 

The  Williams  athletic  director  stressed 
the  ini|)ortance  of  every  undergraduate 
working  nut  in  the  gym  at  lea.st  live  times 
each  week,  declaring  that  physical  lit ness 
during  wartime  is  an  absolute  essential, 
especially  if  the  1  iiited  Nations  are  to  win 
this  World  War.  Dr.  Locke  stated  thai 
only  by  tlic  coiuimiation  of  an  iniensilied

the     elltilf      liillege     be      kept       up.       "The

Local  Farmers  See  Hope 
In  Student  -  Labor  Plan 

War  Takes  Farm  Hands; 
WilHams  May  Till  Soil 
For     Duration     of     War 

.Since  the  Berkshire  County  .-\geiit 
.stymied  the  forming  nf  a  colleelive  farm 
at  Williams  two  weeks  ago,  the  Committee 
on  the  Rural  Policy  of  Williamstown  has 
reported  a  serious  labor  shortage  in  this 
area.  Interviews  with  farmer-members 
of  this  committee  reveal  the  desiral.)ilit\' 
of  a  plan  that  would  pul  college  students 
to  work  on  local  farms. 

The  rural  i)olic\-  committee  reports  that 
defense  positions,  ihi'  draft,  high  wages  in 
other  jobs,  and  the  short  hours  of  factory 
workers  have  created  a  scarcity  of  farm 
hands  that  is  being  felt  throughout  this 
township.  Since  each  of  these  factors  is 
increasing  as  the  war  progresses,  the 
local  farm  labor  probli'iii  is  becoming 
more  acute. 

Full  Day's  Woi-k 

When  (juestioneil  in  regard  to  the 
practicabilit\-  of  Williams  students  substi- 
tuting for  absent  workers,  coniniunitN' 
farmers  voiced  their  approval  provided 
that  students  could  devote  sufficient  time 
to  the  work.  Mr.  Salem  Towne,  W'iliiams- 
tow'ii  farmer  and  rural  polic\'  committee 
member,  pointed  out  that  the  plan  will 
work  only  if  undergraduates  can  devote 
two  half  da\s,  or  one  entire  da\  lo  this 
work  per  we.-U. 

Air.  Leland  Jenks,  also  mi  the  ^ame 
status  as  .Mr.  Towne,  feels  that  sonielhiiig 
will  "surely  develop"  from  this  pl.in.  He 
believes  that  action  is  already  afoot  to 
establish  a  government  agency  that  will 
bring  farmer  and  student  laborers  to- 
gether. Mr.  Jenks  said, "such  a  system 
will  give  students  a  chance  to  do  patriotic 
and  useful  labor  by  serving  a  real  need."

Kent  '11  Blasts  Misconceptions  of  Campus 
Business   Management   as   Deadline   Nears 


by  Gkoiiok  Y.  .\i;iinii.\s  "i 

"Once  you're  in,    you   can't   get   out!" 

"Even  if  we  don't  benelit,  we'll  have  to 
help  carry  those  bouses  that  can't  get 
along  by  themselves!" 

"Where  can  we  save,  excepting  possibly 
through  food  purchases?  $300  is  a  lot  to 
make  up!" 

These  falsi'  rumors  and  misconceptions 
to  the  plan  for  Campus  Business  Manage- 
ment at  Williams  College  recently  pro- 
posed by  the  Interfraternity  Management 
Committee  have  become  wide-spread  with 
the  approach  of  the  h'ebruary  22  deadline 
set  for  acceptance  or  rejection  of  the  social 
groups. 

Technical  Aspects 

This  week  Stephen  G.  Kent,  .Sr.  '11, 
secretary  of  the  committee,  took  time  out 
to  correct  popular  misconceptions  and  to 
elaborate  on  some  of  the  technical  aspects 
of  cooperative  buying  an<l   management. 

Secretary  Kent  emphasized  that  some 
provision  wotild  be  made  for  houses  to 
withdraw  frcmi  participation  in  the  event 
that  they  cease  to  benefit  from  the  plan. 
Business  Management,  the  committee 
concedes,  is  purely  experimental,  and  its 
mechanics  cannot  be  created  overnight. 
Primary  Objective 

Priinary   objective   of   the  committee, 


Mr.  Kent  said,  is  lo  cre:ite  a  system  pro- 
viding for  continuit\,  stability  and 
efficiency  for  every  house,  every  year. 

.Vliial  food  purchases  will  continue  to 
be  iiKide  through  individual  house  buyers, 
Mr.  Kent  empbasizeil,  and  the  adminis- 
trator will,  under  Campus  Management, 
ascertain  the  best  possible  prices  and 
ipialities  of  commodities,  with  representa- 
ti\es  of  the  various  social  units  buying 
what  they  choose  through  him. 

Common  Dairy,  Bakery 

Contracts,  such  as  those  negotiated 
under  the  Amherst  Business  Management 
Plan  for  supplying  the  entire  eating  system 
with  dairy,  bakery  and  other  products 
common  to  the  ever\'day  menu  of  each 
house,  could  probably  be  made  here,  Mr. 
K<-nt  pointed  out. 

Other  products  not  usually  bought  at 
wholesale  pric<:s,  such  as  floor  wax  and 
furniture  polish,  would,  under  the  new 
system,  be  purchased  more  cheaply 
through  theadministratorand  the  savings 
passed  on  to  the  houses. 

I'inally,  the  committee  secretary  said, 
the  primary  job  of  the  manager  will  be  to 
supervise  and  instruct  individual  house 
treasurers  on  efficient  methods  of  book- 
keeping and  general  man,igemcnt.

111  Memory  Of 
Lieut.  Col.  Charles  W.  Whittlesey 
Commander  of  the  Lo.st  Battalion 


Physical  Preparedness 

In  I  III'  Iraiiiin/i  of  men  to  serve  in  the  armed  forces  or  elscivhcrc,  the 
nniicr.silv  niiisl  cniiilmsir.e  its  responsibilitv  for  their  physical  fitness.  The 
students  ire  {irmlnate  must  be  rnjiged.  physically  alert,  schooled  in  the  habit 
of  discipline.  I  favor,  accordiufily,  an  intensified  athletic  program  in  which 
every  niiderjlradnale,  except  us  debarred  by  his  doctor,  shall  participate. 

Tiiese  words  of  "i'ale's  President,  Charles  Seymour,  like  tlie  com- 
piil.sory  alhlelie  jjrograins  adopted  recently  at  I'rinceton  and  Harvard 
for  men  pursuing  accelerated  courses,  jKiiiit  out  a  serious  weakness  in  the 
.s])ee(led-up  Williams  ciirriciiluni.  Although  the  military  life  which  lies 
ahead  of  iimisI  Williams  iiieii  demands  stamina  and  excellent  lieallh,  the 
Admiiiistialion  lias  not  yet  evolved  a  physical  |)reparedness  |)rograiii  lo 
coni])leuiciit  its  telescoped  curnculuin.  There  are  still  many  upperclass- 
iiK'ii  getting  little  or  no  exerci.se  —  despite  the  Administration's  reeom- 
niendation  that  each  ii:an  follow  the  .san^e  conditioning  ])rogram  adhered 
to  hy  varsity  athletes. 

To  remedy  this  situation,  Tliio  Riocoui)  lielieves  that  the  Administra- 
tion .slunild  adopt  a  c()m))ul.sory  athletic  program  whereby  the  phy.sically 
lazy  minority  will  be  e(Miipelled  to  turn  out  with  the  athletic  majority. 
This  program  .should  reiiuire  every  Williams  undergraduate,  regardless  of 
class, 1(1  iiarlieijiate  in  some  athletic  activityorliisDwnclioosiiig — thrcctiiiies 
each  week.  Heeauseof  the  speeded-iipcurriculuiii,siicli  a  program  could 
not  well  be  ado])ted  until  Monday,  June  29,  when  the  beginning  of  a 
regular  fourteen-week  semester  will  free  upperclassmen  from  their  lu'cseiit 
overcrowded  .schedules.  During  the  remainder  of  this  .semester,  however, 
iipi)erelassnieii  not  participating  in  varsity  athletics  would  find  a  vohiii- 
tiiry  trij)  to  tlie  gym  or  squash  courts  Ihrce  times  each  week  an  excellent 
investment  in  their  own  —  aiul  the  nation's  —  future. 

The  coiii|)ulsory  athletic  program  herein  proposed  to  the  Admiiii.stra- 
tioii  would  re(|Miie  that  freshmen  and  sophomores  continue  P.  T.  work 
as  in  the  piisl .  Juniors  and  .seniors  would  receive  a  choice  of  any  .sport 
which  the  Williams  gym  or  field  oifers.  although  —  like  underclassmen  — 
they  would  participate  in  that  .s|)ort  at  specified  hours  under  an  instructor, 
who  .should  lake  daily  roll  call.  It  must  lie  emphasizcfl  that  6:30  a.m. 
lab  campus  drills  would  be  profitless  for  Williams,  and  that  cali.sthcnic 
clas.ses,  if  com|)ul.sory,  would  Vie  of  no  use  —  for  a  man  receives  the  max- 
iimiin  heiiefit  from  athletics  only  when  he  enjoys  the  activity  in  which  he 
is  paiiieijialing. 

Tlie  gains  in  college  morale,  in  iindergriiduale  fitness,  and  in  the 
ability  of  Williams  men  to  endure  iihysical  hard.ship  and  .stand  up  under 
the  rigor  of  army  life  will  be  well  worth  the  money,  time,  and  undergrad- 
uate effort  demanded  by  such  a  compulsory  athletic  program. 


(ipprfcidliuii  tif  Ihf  whole  colh'ge. 

Willianii'  uml  for  Campus  Business 
Maimgcmenl  has  nei'er  been  more  efji'ctively 
staled  ihnii  in  ihis  recrnl  Alumni  Review 
ariicle  by  Mr.  Under: 

"Lei  me  point  mil  a  fact,  ii  very  simple 
one,  thai  has  gone  unnoticed  for  years,  y.'l 
it  ii  full  of  meaning.  In  the  report  of  the 
collef^e  treasurer  under  dale  of  July  25,  1Q40, 
appears  the  following  slulemenl:  'The 
average  number  of  students  in  attendance 
for  the  year  was  814.  We  received  from 
litem  for  tuition,  and  for  room  charges, 
and  for  health  fees,  $446,821 .  72.  litis 
figure  is  .10.2%  of  our  total  receipts  of 
$880,294 .  ,S6' .  The  total  $446,821  received 
from  lite  entire  student  body  is  just  about 
equal  to  the  amounts  paid  hy  their  members 
to  the  16  social  units  on  the  campus  for 
board,  dues,  social  ei-ents.  etc.  How  com- 
fortable would  you  feel  if  the  college  entrusted 
lite  adminiitralioit  of  the  business  affairs  of 
the  college  to  a  group  of  inexperienced 
iindergradtiales  whose  tenure  of  office  was 
for  only  one  year}  Need  I  say  more'.  Tlie 
inculcation  of  sound  and  prtideni  business 
principles  into  the  management  of  our 
social  units  ought  to  produce  very  suhstanlial 
savings  in  operating  costs  above  lite  modest 
e.vpenses  of  the  proposed  Campus  Business 
Management  at  Williams.") 


To  the  Editors  of  'I'liK  Recokd: 

'Pliere  is  no  cloulil  l)ut  that  Oi-operativp 
Management  will  1k'  of  enormuus  value  to 
Williams.  There  is  no  doubt  but  that  it 
has  the  overwhelming  support  of  the  stu- 
dent body  aiul  aliiiiini.  But  m  a  recent 
RiocoiMJ  article  at  least  seven  lieads  of 
houses  expressed  doubt  about  the  value 
to  their  houses  iif  setting  up  Co-operative 
Buying  note.  The  reason  for  this  is  the 
fear  that  the  plan  would  not  be  able  to 
save  the  S.?00  to  S400  a  \ear  needed  to 
put  it  into  operation. 

The  trouble  is  that  lliese  fears  ari'  \'er\' 
justified.  The  report  of  ihe  aluinni 
coniniittee  does  not  give  any  detailed 
statistics  to  prove  the  value  of  the  action  it 
urges.  The  report  simpK'  repeals  the 
general  arguments  for  Co-operative  Man- 
agement which  we  all  knew  and  l)elie\e<l 
a  year  ago. 

I  believe  that  Co-operative  Managc- 
niLMit  is  in  great  danger  now.  Its  danger 
is  not  from  its  enemies  —  it  has  none.  The 
danger  to  Co-operative  Management  is 
from  those  of  its  friends  who  rt'fuse  to 
face  the  pre.sent  war  eniergenc\'  realistical- 
ly. VVillianis  College  faces  the  possihilit\- 
of  targe  ennillnieni  losses,  and  the  houses 
face  the  problem  of  reduced  or  rapidh' 
changing  ineniberships.  .^iid  \vc  nuisi 
not  forget  the  vury  iniportanl  fact  (hal 
we  l)U\'  ninv  in  a  seller's  market. 
Merchants  have  more  customers  than  they 
can  supply.  As  this  becomes  more 
aggravated,  due  to  the  war,  it  will  be  more

Letters  to  Editors 


'To  tlie  lulilors  of  't'liK  kKcoioi: 

It  has  come  to  my  notice  that  theie 
sccni.s  to  lie  prevalent  on  the  campus  an 
erroneous  impression  that  tlie  proposed 
Campus  Husiness  Management  would  be 
used  to  regiment  llie  fraternities.  I  wi.sh 
to  correct  this  impression. 

We  seel{  to  create  an  opportunity  to 
produce  the  best  l)usincss  results  through 
utilizing  the  Ijcnefits  of  cooperation.  Kach 
social  unit  will  retain  complete  control  of 
its  own  business  affairs.  We  do  not  seek 
to  dictate  the  choice  of  food  whicli  it  will 
cat  nor  the  purchases  which  the  unit  may 
make.     These  decisions  will  properly  rest 


with  the  social  unit  itself. 
It  will  be  in  the  nature  of  joining  a  club.  I  Record  extends  the    congratulalions    and 


^■ou  use  its  facilities  to  the  extent  that  it 
is  to  youi  advantage  to  do  so.  Of  course, 
much  of  the  benefits  of  mass  purchasing 
may  be  lost  if  the  facilities  are  not  utilized 
and  we  believe  that  tliroiigh  their  use 
experience  will  prove  that  m.irked  econ-

CONFERENCE 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

last  September  Carey  figured  pnimi- 
nently  in  the  news  when  his  leadership  was 
repudiated  at  the  I'EKMWA  fall  conven- 
tion. Left  wingers  were  instrumental  in 
blocking  his  reelection  after  he  tried  to 
pu.sh  a  residution  banning  Communists 
from  union  posts. 

lirnsl,  a  graduate  of  Williams  in  1909, 
was  an  imlslaiiding  speaker  at  the  1939 
Liberal  Conference  where  he  made  a  pli'a 
for  the  extension  of  competition  as  a  cure 
for  the  "curse  of  Big  Business". 

As  a  liberal  New  York  lawyer,  Ernst  has 
handled  many  cases  for  the  American 
Civil  Liberties  I'nion  and  is  currently 
attorney  for  the  American  Newspaper 
Guild  and  a  nundjer  of  other  CIO  unions. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  State  Banking 
Connnissiou  of  New  York  and  a  prolific 
writer  on  political  and  econcnnic  issues. 
His  latest  book.  Too  Big,  was  a  study  of 
American  Big  Business. 

Axis  Arch  Foe 

Sidvemini's  acceptance  brings  to  the 
conference  an  arch  !i)V  of  the  axis.  A  pre- 
Mussolini  Italian  legislator,  Salvemini  was 
arrested  by  the  lilackshirts  in  1925  as  an 
anti-Fascist.  In  1926  his  property  was 
confiscated  and  he  was  forced  to  flee  Italy. 
He  is  currently  a  lecturer  in  Italian  History 
at  Harvard  and  contributes  articles  on 
Italian  Fascism  lo  many  periodicals,  His 
most  recent  bonk  is  Under  Ihe  Axe  of 
Fiiscisni. 

Wright  is  (tne  nf  the  nal ion's  foremost 
authorities  on  International  Law.  He 
edits  the  Journal  of  International  Law  and 
tt'iidies  Political  Science  at  Chicago  I'ni- 
vi-rsily.  Ill  the  hist  Wcjrld  War  he  served 
as  a  consultant  to  the  Na\"y  Department 
on  Inlernalional  Law.

hencefunh  be  retpiired  to  report  for  snpcr- 
vised  physical  training  four  limes  a  week. 
The  purpose  of  ihis  program,  he  asserted, 
was  to  prepare  students  "for  the  military 
or  war  duties  to  which  they  may  later  be 
called." 

Intensified  Program 

IVesitient  Charles  Seymour  of  N'ale  also 
showed  complete  agreement  with  Dr. 
I.ocki'  in  the  importance  of  ph\'sical  iitnoss 
when  he  recently  asserted,  "The  students 
we  graduate  must  be  rugged.  pli\'sically

Only  sixteen  of  the  fifty-three  inter- 
collegiate C(mtests  originally  scheduled 
for  this  spring  can  be  played,  Mr.  A.  V. 
Osterhout,  graduate  manager  of  athletics, 
jjointed  out,  but  he  went  on  to  say  that 
nicjre  would  be  added  as  soon  as  the  revised 
programs  of  other  colleges  were  ascer- 
tained. He  expects  that  208  intramural 
teams  will  be  in  action  this  winter  and 
spring  and  hopes  that  increased  student 
participati(m  will  help  to  offset  the  inter- 
cnllegiate  athletic  loss.  Mr.  Osterhout 
added  that  the  college  intends  to  increase 
intranmral  game  scheduli's  in  the  near 
future.

Letters  to  The  Editors 

(Continued  fruln  paije  -) 
anil  mort'  clillicult  In  sivoid  shaip  rises  in 
costs.      CniliT    sucli    cumlilidns    contnict 
and  liiilli  Inn  inK  will  lie  (if  use  to  I  Ik-  liiiiisos 
only  ill  a  iniiKir  way. 

Willi  the  purpose  1)1'  savins'  C'u-uperal  ivi; 
Management  from  tlie  dangers  which  con- 
front it  now,  I  would  like  to  propose  that 
the  plan  lie  put  into  opi'iation  in  the  fol- 
lowing way: 

1.  Each  house  and  aluniiii  group  to 
elect  a  member  to  lh<'  two  conmiittees 
proposed  in  the  report. 

2.  An  executive  committee  to  be  set 
up  as  proposed  in  the  report. 

3.  The  e.-cecutivc  committee  to  arrange 
for  uniform  accounting  practices  for  all 
the  niember-houses. 

4.  'I'lie  e.xeculive  committee  to  arrange 
for  tile  co-operative  purchase  of  some 
selected  items  which  could  be  easily  and 
economically  purchased  in   bulk. 

5.  The  member-houses  to  be  assessed 
a  small  fee  to  co\er  the  expenses  involved. 

6.  The  member-houses  would  com- 
mit themselves  to  the  payment  of  a  tax 
sufllicient  for  hiring  a  manager  andputting 
the  plan  into  complete  operation  as  soon 
as  the  committees  representing  them  feel 
it  is  advisable,  probably  not  before  the 
end  of  the  war  iind  the  re-establishment  of 
normal  enrollment  and  normal  economic 
conditions. 

This  plan  has  several  advantages. 
First,  it  would  permit  most  of  the  houses 
to  join  now  even  though  they  would  not 
be  able  to  pay  out  S300  or  S400.  Second, 
it  would  permit  the  careful  study  of  con- 
ditions needed  before  extensive  co-opera- 
tive buying  can  be  started,  which  study 
cannot  be  made  until  reliable,  comparative 
statistics  are  available.  Third,  it  would 
eliminate  the  possibility  of  the  system's 
folding  up  under  the  pressure  of  reduced 
membership  of  the  member-houses. 
Fourth,  it  would  permit  houses  which  have 
caterers  and  othi-r  independent  savings! 
schemes  to  make  a  gradual  shift-over 
without  sulTering  .in\'  losses. 

If  we  are  to  save  Co-operative  Manage-  j 
ment  we  must  face  the  problem  as  it  is. 
And  we  must  save  the  plan.  For  this 
may  be  our  last  chance  to  start  adjusting 
the  Williams  system  to  the  changing  world. 
Let's  be  sensible  then,  and  save  Co- 
operative Mana.gement.     It  must  not  die 


i,Sif,ned) 

Robert    Allen

.{Editor's  Note:  We  ag,ree  with  Reader 
Allen  thai  Cnmpns  Business  Management 
must  not  die  now.  We  do  not  agree  llial 
any  house  need  fear  losing  $300  or  S400  hy 
voting  their  acceptance  of  the  plan.  We  be- 
lieve that  Cooperative  Management  is  en- 
dangered only  by  those  men  who  cannot 
judge  it  beyond  the  scope  of  immediate 
dollar-and-cenl  savings.  Reader  Allen 
should  con.sider  intelligent  budgeting  rf 
expenses,  effective  cost  controls,  efficient 
collection  of  receivables,  prompt  payment 
of  debts  {resulting  in  discounts),  and  the 
numerous  possible  business  arrangements 
which  lead  to  a  curtailment  of  overhead 
when  he  judges  Campus  Business  Manage- 


ment.    For  although  these  services  may  nut 
result  in  immediate  savings  ne.\l  month,  they 
will  result  in   immense  savings  next  yeiir,  j 
and  the  year  after.  | 

In  view  of  decreasing  enrollment,  in 
view  of  the  many  times  house  presidents, 
treasurers,  and  stewards  are  going  to  change 
within  It  ftie  months,  in  view  of  the  fuel  that 
u  central  manager  will  be  able  to  make 
sense  out  of  this  chaos,  Reader  Allen's 
proposal  —  while  saving  fraternities  the 
cost  of  a  manager  —  would  cost  them  many 
times  the  manager's  expense  in  terms  of 
efficiency,  continuity,  adequate  knowledge 
of  markets,  of  taxation,  of  fuel  costs,  etc. 
Reader  Allen  should  place  his  emphasis 
on  the  elimination  of  waste,  inefficiency, 
and  inexperience.  In  eradicating  these 
evils,  a  central  manager  should  he  worth 
$300  or  S400  to  each  fraternity.) 

Peck's  Fast  Quarter 
Paces  Eph  Relay  Win 

Coach  Ton>'  Plansky's  winter  relay  team 
opened  their  1942  campaign  with  a  spec 
tacular  win  as  Warner  Peck  turned  in  a 
50.4  quarter  to  hand  his  teammates  the 
five-yard  lead  by  which  they  won  one  of 
the  College  Invitation  Relajs  over  Colum- 
bia, M.I.T.,  and  Amherst,  at  the  Millrose 
Games  in  Madison  Square  Garden  last 
Saturday'  night. 

Sophomore  Dick  Hunsdorfer,  running  in 
his  first  varsity  race,  lead  olT  for  Williams 
and  was  boxed  in,  dropping  twelve  yards 
to  his  opponents  in  a  54.2  quarter.  Start- 
ing late,  Peck  put  on  a  terrific  spurt  and 
made  up  the  yardage  and  more,  handing 
Heppes  a  five-yard  lead. 

Heppes,  paced  by  his  speedy  M.I.T. 
opponent,  finally  overtook  him.  Captain 
Chapman,  running  anchor  man,  held  the 
lead  and  won  by  eight  yards  in  3:28.6., 
des|)ite  a  last  minute  drive  by   M.I.T. 

Plansky  will  lake  the  winter  relay  team 
to  Boston  next  Saturday  for  the  Boston 
A. A.  games  in  the  garden.  The  same 
line-up  will  probably  run  in  the  mile 
relay. 

BASKETBALL

Outscored  on  the  court  l.y  three  baskets,

Purple       Skiers       Capture 
Third      at       Dartmouth 

Climaxing  a  series  of  meets  in  wliicii 
Dartmouth  has  alwa\s  been  able  to  place 
one  step  ahead  of  Pur])le  contenders,  the 
Williams  Outing  Club  will  hold  a  four- 
event  meet  with  the  Dartmouth  Outing 
Club  this  weekend  on  Sheep  Hill. 

Fighting  to  take  Daitinouth  on  Wil- 
liams' home  territorv,  the  Kph  "B"  team 
consisting  of  Don  Potter,  Bob  Fisher, 
Erick  and  Fielding  Brown,  Denny  \'olk- 
niann,  and  Frim  Lathrop  will  run  off  three 
exents  on  a  hard  fast  base  practically 
de%oid  of  powder  snow.  The  cross- 
country will  begin  and  end  on  Weston 
Field. 

Competing  in  Dartmouth's  34th  annual 
Winter  Carnival  last  weekend,  the  Purple 
ski  team  pulled  in  third  behind  New 
Hampshire's  Wildcats  and  Dartmouth's 
\eteran  skiers  in  a  four  e\ent  meet  held  on 
Hanover's  home  groumls  and  at  Wood- 
stock \  t.  on  the  celebrated  Suicide  Six. 

Starring  for  the  Eph  team  was  Bromo 
E\'crdell  who  won  a  first  in  the  slalom. 
Showing  coiisistciith'  good  form  was  Dave 
Hroivn,  who  captured  a  sixth  in  cross- 
country, and  the  Williams  captain,  Phil 
Cole,  who  landctl  in  the  fifth  slot  at 
Hanover  in  the  jumping. 

FARMING 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

students  as  a  whole  for  such  labor  Mr. 
Jenks  said,  "Any  bo\'  who  is  really  in 
earnest  can  learn.  The  determining  fac- 
tor is  that  these  bo\s  be  energetic  and 
willing."  Both  these  farmers  believe  that 
Williams  men  who  are  ine\perienced  in 
farm  work  can  be  of  use  in  gardening  and 
can    be  taught    farming    techniques    that 


will  serve  adei|lialely  in  the  crisis. 

Mrs.  Donald  Cole,  a  lliii'l  member  of 
the  rural  policy  committee  and  wife  of  the 
owner  of  the  farm  on  which  tlu-  Williams 
Airport  is  located,  said  that  she  is  entirely 
in  favor  of  the  suggested  move. 

Since  the  summer  term  will  be  longer 
than  this  present  semester,  acceleration 
will  be  h'ss  inti'use  at  that  time.  This 
will  enable  undergraduates  to  do  more 
farm  work  in  the  season  when  their 
services  are  most  needeil.

Whidden,  permanent  secretary  of  the  class. 

During  the  past  few  days  an  insurance 

representative   has  contacted   the  seniors

emphatic   in   urging   a    more    satisfactory

attitude    as    "decidedly    lacking    in    class

reconcile  the  two  phases. 

He  also  asserted  that  previous  outside

Davenport  Lauds   Fraternity   Management,

i  die  Williams  campus"  in  a  letter  to

"below  the  surface  Amherst  and  Williams

Williams  fraternities  would  not  sa\'e 
enough  to  cover  expenses,  pointing  to  the 
success  t,f  business  management  during  its 
first  year  at  Amherst. 

In  th,it  first  year,  wrote  Davenport, 
figures  were  presented  siippi;itln.g  sa\-ings 
of  approximately  $10,000  in  purchasing. 
Amherst  fraternities  were  nio\-e(l  from  a 
red  pi;sition  of  $.^200  to  a  positive  figure 
of  S.'400  and  dues  were  reduced  by  $2100. 
At  the  same  time,  he  pointed  out,  the

Davenport  stated  that  in  order  to  insure 
the  success  of  such  a  system,  the  manage 
ment  must  work  for  discoimts  through 
saving  the  seller's  time,  money  and  effort, 
eliminating  sales  i'.nd  handling  expenses, 
and  assuring  iirompt  collection  of  pur- 
ch.ises. 

Parallels  Big  Business 

The  business  manager  likened  the  pro- 
posed system  to  the  operation  of  a  big 
business,  and  pointed  to  the  chaos  which 
would  arise  if  the  shipping,  s.alc9,  engineer- 
ing, and  other  departments  of  a  large 
corporation  made  their  own  contracts  for 
maintenance  and  repair  work,  telephone

Army  Recreation  Room 
Drive  Nears  Completion 

Committee       of      Sixteen 
Needs    Only     $31     More 


Phe  Williams  Glee  Club  has  made  plans 
for  a  full  spring  schedule,  Manager  Arthur 
V.  Lee,  111  '42  announc<'d  yesterday. 
Five  concerts  are  tentatively  lined  up 
during  March  and  April,  as  well  as  at 
least  one  appearance  of  the  Octet. 

The  reason  for  this  accelerated  program, 
covering  a  space  of  onl\'  six  weeks,  is 
"indecision  due  to  the  war,"  according  to 
Glee  Club  President  Warren  G.  Ilunke  '42. 
Glee  Club  membership  has  been  cut  down 
from  fifty-four  to  thirty-nine  for  the  same 
rea.son,  Ilunke  stated. 

A  trip  to  Hennington  earK  in  March  will 
start  the  season.  The  Bennington  Glee 
Club  will  not  appear  in  this  concert,  but 
tentative  arrangements  have  been  made 
for  a  mid-month  popular  song  program  b\

handy  authority,  llic  ihoiishlless  calls  for  total  reoi-fiaiii;iatioii  of  the 
conduct  of  the  war  are  not  likely  to  turn  defeat  into  victory.  Criticism 
cannot  take  place  in  a  vacuum.  The  critic  has  responsihility;  he  nnist, 
if  he  wants  to  hel|)  win  lh<-  war,  lie  able  to  otl'cr  more  than  i)ro])o.sals  for 
revenoe. 

That  t,'oes  for  each  one  of  us  who  lia.s  dining  the  jiast  weeks  second- 
guessed  every  uiililary  and  political  mistake  without  having  any  valitl 
basis  for  critiei.sm  or  any  alternative  ])roi)osals  to  offer;  and  that  means 
just  about  everybody  al  Williams.  It's  time  we  realized  thai  we  not 
only  can  hut  iiiiisl  do  more  Ihati  we  are  now  doing  to  deserve  victory. 
Hel'ore  we  can  earn  llie  riglil  lo  criticize,  there  are  at  lea.st  eight  [lositive 
steps  which  we  should  lake. 

We  iniisl  train  air-raid  wardens  and  train  lliem  well.  To  a  lot,  of 
Williiiins  men  Ihal  sounds  [jrctly  ridiculous.  Hiil  Aiuerica  cannot  laugh 
off  the  i)o.ssibility  of  air  raids  as  .she  once  laughe<l  off  the  possibility  of 
.  Axis  attack.  Wardens  trained  in  Williamstown  will  l)e  u.seful  not  only 
in  ^^'illianlslowll  lint  everywhere  in  the  nation.  .Vnd  four  hours  of  train- 
ing doesn't  produce  a  capable  air-raid  warden.  Hitler  gives  his  wardens 
two  years. 

We  nuisl  buy  Defense  lionds.  Money  won't  win  the  war,  but  il 
will  help;  anl  so  f,ir  the  {{oiid  I'rogram  has  in  iiiosi  cases  been  paid  only

We  should   start  doiialing  to  this  cause  in  Ihe  inimediale  future. 

We  have  a  iliil.v  lo  be  jiliysically  fit  for  national  .service.  We  all 
reali/.e  this  in  Ihe  alislraci;  yet  no  eonerete  steps  have  been  taken  to 
|)rovide  an   adetpiale  physical-]ire])arediiess  |irograiii   tor  Williams. 

We  imisl  reorganize  our  local  economy  at  least  for  Ihe  duration  of 
the  war,  and  |irobably  longer.  This  nieaiis  .some  form  of  Cooperative 
Maiiagenient.  Today  and  tomorrow  the  .social  units  will  vole  on  the 
Inlerfrateriiity  ('oimniltee's  leconmieiidations.  Our  duty  will  lie  to 
accejit  their  jiroixisal  and  to  put  if  into  effecl  as  .swiftly  and  efficiently 
as  ])ossilile. 

We  iini.st  —  and  this  i.s  the  vital  iioiiit  —  keep  in  sight  the  larger 
problems  which  the  war  raises.  The  war  must  be  fought,  not  for  its 
own  sake,  but  for  a  ju.st  and  lasting  world  order  The  .series  of  faculty 
lectures  on  the  war,  jiroposed  two  days  after  war  was  declared,  has  not 
been  heard  from  since.  The  .series  idea  should  be  revived  and  carried 
out . 

J'iiially,  we  iiiiisl  make  the  coming  Sjiriug  Conference  as  successful 
a  force  for  .sludenl  awareness  of  Iiasic  issues  as  it  has  been  in  the  ))ast. 

This  won'l  be  all  we  can  do.  Il  represents  Ihe  iniuimiiin.  But  we 
inusl  do  al  least  I  his  if  we  are  to  deserve  the  victory  which  only  our  fullest 
efforts  can  helji  to  achieve.

organizations.  Each  group  will  receive 
approximately  S300. 

The  three  beneficiaries  .are  Ihe  World

Wants  to  Help",  a  sub-division  of  the 
British  War  Relief,  and  the  American

Flying  Club  to  Become 
Unit  of  Civil  Air  Patrol 

Student    Instruction    Will 
Start    in    Early     Spring 

(Outlining  an  ambitious  program  for  tin- 
loniiiiK  niontlis,  Klyinj;  Club  Presliluiit 
Charles  ('..  Abbott  '43,  annouiicrd  that 
{\u-  local  organization,  grounded  a  few 
months  by  a  general  government  order 
ipplying  to  all  private  fields,  would  be 
allowed  to  resume  opeiation  if  it  showed 
siifiicient  reason  for  existing. 

I'iist  majoi  step  toward  cooperation 
with  the  national  defense  program  is 
active  participation  in  the  recently  fcrmed 
Civil  Air  Patrol,  a  national  organization 
whose  purjwse  is  to  rdieve  militaiy  planes 
lioni  certain  duties  such  as  patrolling, 
observing,  and  ferrying  government 
i)Hicials  from  placi'  to  place.  All  flying 
(X|>enses  incurred  will  be  paid  by  (he 
government. 

May  Get  Instructions 

The  second  aim  of  the  local  grou|)  is  to 
leach  students  to  fly.  Two  plane.s  ire  on 
iiand  for  that  use  aiul  the  club  plans  to 
Import  from  one  to  three  instructors  from 
ihe  Troy  airport.  The  fees  for  training 
will  be  considerably  below  those  charged 
li\'  municipal  fields. 

Local  flyers  who  had  their  licenses 
cancelled  a  few  months  ago  may  hax-e 
them  renewed  in  Albany.  The  regulations 
have  been  stiffened  consid<Tably  and  the 
.iliplicant  is  advised  to  follow  the  rules 
(■  u-efully.  Two  letters  concerning  p.itriot- 
isin  and  citizcn'ship  and  a  birth  certificate 
nuist  be  surrendere.l  on  applying  for 
reinstatement. 

The  government  is  especially  concerned 
.diout  photographs  and  several  Williams 
men  have  been  turned  down  because  their 
pictures  did  not  fill  specifications.  Two 
i-inch  by  2-;nch  showing  the  head  and 
shoulders,  in  which  the  head  takes  u|)  the 
maiority  of  the  picture,  are  necessary.

experienced hands  every  year. 

D.ivenport  admitted  that  the  present 
market  is  a  "sellers  market",  but  said  that 
wholesale  concerns  are  still  anxious  to  sell 
to  the  Andu-rst  management  system. 

"It  is  not,"  he  emphasi^etl,  "good 
business  for  sixteen  .social  units  to  try  to 
operate  without  competent  advice  and 
erUirely  independent  of  each  other.  That 
in  itself  is  reason  enough  for  the  existence 
of  fraternity  business  management."

Letter  to  Editors 


Gargoyle  Committee  Releases  Suggestions 
To  Control  Campus  Business  Organizations 


To  the  Editors  of  The  Rkcohh: 

I  was  rather  astonished  last  evening  to 
read  in  your  issue  of  Feb.  13  an  article 
ascribing  certain  statements  to  me  with 
res|)ect  to  the  proposed  Campus  Business 
.Management   at    Williams  College. 

1  had  no  interview  with  Thk  Recoiid 
although  I  did  talk  with  one  other  under- 
graduate regarding  the  Campus  Business 
Management  plan.  Apparently  certain 
slati'ineiUs  which  1  made  have  been  mis- 
understood either  by  the  original  hearer  or 
in  course  of  transmission  to  Tni-:  Rhcohi). 

Ol  these  cnie  of  them  seems  particularly 
unlortunale  as  it  creates  the  impression 
thai  those  .social  units  subscribing  to  the 
phiii  for  the  first  year  may  be  permitted  to 
Hilhdniw  ther<'froni  during  the  course  of 
thai  \ear.  What  1  said  was  that  we  are 
not  now  creating  a  permanent  organi- 
zation. ICach  unit  commits  itself  for  the 
first  \ear  only  and  at  the  end  of  that  time 
can  arrive  at  its  ow'U  decision  as  to  its 
future  participation. 

Of  course,  after  the  Business  Manage- 
ment is  established  each  unit  will  have  to 
coiilinue  lo  stand  on  its  own  feel  linan- 
cialK'.  It  does  not  sacrifice  its  ability  or 
its  responsibilitx'  in  handling  its  own 
business  affairs.  It  will,  however,  deri\e 
some  sound  advice  and  business  guidance 
and  we  hope  be  afforded  the  o])portunit\ 
to  operate  more  efiicientl>'  and  economi- 
calK  than  under  methods  previousK- 
employed. 

In  view  of  the  prominence  given  lo  \our 
prior  article,  1  would  request  that  you  give 
this  letter  suitable  space  in  your  forth- 
coming issue  so  that  there  can  be  no  mis- 
apprehension on  anyone's  part  when  join- 
ing the  Campus  Business  Management. 
(Signed), 

Stephen  G.  Kent

(liditors'  Note:  We  gave  prominence  to 
Mr,  Kent's  article  because  we  felt  his  vieuKs,- 
as  expressed  to  a  undergraduate  not  on  Tiik 
Rkcohi),  mudd  help  end  the  recent  "mis- 
apprehensions" which  many  students  have 
felt  about  Cooperative  Management.  Mr. 
Kent  does  not  name  the  "misunderstand- 
ings" of  w'hich  he  speaks;  consequently  we 
can  rectify  no  errors  if  any  exist. 

We  .mill  last  week:  "Secretary  Kent 
emphasized  that  .wnie  provision  would  be 
made  for  houses  to  withdraw  in  the  event  that 
they  ceased  to  benefit  from  the  plan."  Does 
this  imply  thai  social  units  could  withdraw 
during  the  course  of  the  first  yeiir  in  which 
Ihe  Campus  Business  Management  is  in 
existence?  We  think  not.  No'w  that  Mr. 
Kent  has  named  Ihe  committee's  "provision," 
however,  we  feel  certain  that  Williams  frater- 
nilics  will  understand  thai  they  arc  not  burn- 
ing all  their  bridges  liehind  them  if  they  very 
wisely  vote  for  Campus  Business  Manage- 
ment this  weekend.)

Spring  Production  Planned 

Plans  are  now  being  made  for  the  pro- 
duction of  Ceorge  Kelly's  Pulitzer  prize- 
winning  play,  Crate's  Wife.  Murray 
announced.  The  A.  M.  T.  committee 
has  approved  the  Cap  and  Bells  petition 
to  put  on  ihis  play  for  si)ring  house 
parties,  or  at  the  lime  when  such  house 
parties  would  ordinarily  be  held. 

In  discussing  the  situation  regarding 
this  play,  the  Cap  and  Bells  executive 
committee  statetl  that  the  production  is 
scheduled  to  lie  a  benefit  performance  with 
the  proceeds  going  to  some  worthy  cause, 
such  as  the  U.SO  or  Red  Cross.  The 
production  policy  aims  to  have  a  full- 
length  edition  but  will  stage  it  as  siniph- 
as  possible — thus  entailing  no  undue 
expense.

student-iun  campus  coiicesslcais.  Mr. 
Albert  \'.  ()sii  rhoiit  '()(),  graduate  man-

tion. 

Although  the  lep'rt  dnnvn  up  b>  I  his

to  bring  to  lighi  the  existing  cjiulilii.ns 
and  to  suggest  |Kjsi-ible  methods  if  iiii- 
provement. 

Those  concessions  which  wer,'  investi- 
g.-ited  ha\e  l.ei  n  divided  into  three  mrin 
categoiies.  The  first  iiuludes  these  agen- 
cies which  are  self-contained  iiidis  and 
which  recpiire  e.ipital  and  outlay  as  well 
as  colU'ction  of  funds.  The  seecmcl  group 
contains  those  agencies  which  do  not  re- 
ciuire  capital  for  their  operation,  and  the 
third  group  is  the  concessimis  o-giililed 
by  .Mr.  Osterhnnt. 

Profits  Are  $2,500 

I'nder  the  fir.st  unit  falls  such  orgiiiiz  :- 
lions  as  the  newspapi  r  routes,  the  stu- 
dent laundry,  mag.iziiie  and  rooming 
agencies,  jjhysical  training  suits,  ^'iid 
the  food  concession.  The  anneel  gress 
business  h.indled  by  these  cani])iis  organ- 
izations amounts  to  about  SS.OOO  while 
the  net  profit  is  around  S2.'iOO.

Committee  Gives   Recommendations 

.•\s  louiid  by  llie  e.,nmiiitie.  theri'  are 
two  main  faulis  with  ihe  exis.ing  system. 
Kirst.  the  control  of  an  $8000  per  year 
enterprise  has  been  placed  in  the  hands  of 
inexperienced  undergraduates.  Often  the 
lesnlling  coiisv(|liences  are  ixiorly  run 
ag,  iicies  which,  in  the  long  run.  pro\ide 
less  remnner.-iion  thai'  if  thiy  were  eon- 
In.lled  by  a  central  aiuhority. 

Secondly,  succession  to  these  agenci.s  is 
determined  by  politics  -uid  p:  rsonal  whim 
rather  than  financial  nei  d  and  ability. 
Thirdly,  the  "l.ick  of  conliol  heretofore 
existent  has  restrici.d  the  iiniouiu  of 
ii:oin-\'  wliirh  schol  irship  men  mi;.;h(  earn

Fine  British  Woollens 


Britain's  slashing  of  50%  in  quotas  of  wool,  and  their 
comprehensive  draft  of  craftsmen  into  the  war  effort 
exclusively,  make  definite  a  diminishing  supply  of  fine 
British  woollens  with  small  prospects  for  replacements. 
J.  PRESS  patrons  will  be  well  advised  to  take  the 
present  opportunity  to  fill  their  requirements  for  fine

Brownlee  to  Sing 
Tuesday  in  A.M.T. 

Concert  Series  Sponsor 
Noted  British  Baritone; 
Studied    Opera   in   Paris 

Next  I'ui'sday  eviniiiK  at  S:30  p.m.  the 
I'lioiiipsim  Concert  CdiiimitliT  will  pre- 
sent John  Brownlee,  leading  baritone  of 
the  Metropolitan,  ChicaKo,  ami  San 
Francisco  Opera  Companies.  Mr.  Brown- 
lee, widely  known  as  a  recitalist  and  con- 
cert artist,  will  be  heard  in  the  Adams 
Memorial    Theatre. 

Despite  the  fact  thai  he  hatl  iie\'er  re- 
ceiv'ed  any  vocal  training,  Mr.  Brownlee 
started  his  career  b\'  winning  the  annual 
sinsing  contest  at  Ballarat,  Australia. 
.ShortU  afterwards,  on  the  advice  of  Dame 
Melba,  he  left  Australia  where  he  had 
been  born  of  Scotch  parents,  and  went  to 
study  in  Paris  under  Dinh  Gilly. 

Brownlee  came  rapidly  into  the  public 
e> c.  Less  than  three  years  after  he  came 
to  Paris,  he  made  his  operatic  debut  at  the 
Triannn-Lyriciue  and  in  1926.  was  en- 
naged  by  Dame  Melba  to  sing  in  her 
memorable  farewell  appearance  at  Covent 
Garden.  Brownlee  returned  to  Paris 
a^ain,  beconiinK  a  mcnd)er  of  the  Paris 
Grand  Opera.  He  was  the  first  English- 
man to  be  attached  to  its  permanent  roster. 
Enjoys  Universal  Acclaim 

Definitely  an  international  artist,  Mr. 
Brownlee  has  enjoyed  universal  acclaim. 
Oi)era  companies  in  Brussels,  Monte 
Carlo,  Barcelona,  Buenos  Aires,  and  Rio 
de  Janeiro  have  presented  him  to  en-

Professor's  Wife  Pens 
New  Three -Act  Satire 

Mrs.     Lamson's     Play     to 
Be   Given  in   Cincinnati 

The  lewtitten  \'ersion  (jf  Mrs.  Ko}' 
Lamson's  latest  play,  RapectUiUy  Yniirs, 
will  receive  its  premiere  perform'uiee  in 
Cincinnati  on  Maich  .^  by  the  Actors 
Guild. 

The  locale  of  the  ])lay,  a  comedy  in 
three  acts,  is  an  liastern  collCfje  cantpiis. 
The  plot  ileals  with  the  problems  f\rm\- 
ing  out  of  the  self-assertion  oi  ii  prt^fessor's 
wife,  Mrs.  Lydia  Gieenloaf,  who  has  re- 
mained too  long  in  the  shadow  of  her 
husband's  ri'putation. 

Wife  vs.  Husband 

Her  emergence  into  the  public  e\e  is 
accomplished  by  the  unexpected  popular- 
ity of  a  book  she  has  written  entitled 
How  to  Command  Rapsct  al  Home. 
Professor  CiO'cnleaf,  who  is  a  prominent 
scholar  and  political  theorist,  is  startled 
into  a  sudden  realization  th.it  his  wife's 
fame  more  than  equals  his  own,  and  the 
resulting  conflict  of  careers  piodncps  an 
amusing  satire  on  therespectiveaspir;itions 
of  husband  and  wife.  The  problem  is 
further  eompiieatefl  by  a  lo\'e  affair  be 
tween  Mrs.  Greenleaf's  (laughter  and  her 
publicity  agent,  which  eventually  results 
in  a   happ\'  nnrriage. 

Given   in  A.M.T. 

The  original  version  of  Jii'spi'c'fully 
Your.',,  before  sul)se(|iie'it  re%-isions,  was 
previewed  list  summer  in  the  .^ilams 
Memorial  Theatre,  under  the  direction 
of  Ma.x  11.  Flowers.  The  east  was  com- 
posed of  local  talent,  including  John  H.

WMS  Reorganizes 
Production  Set-up 

Transcription  Exchangee 
Proposed  by  Station's 
Executive        Committee 


WM.S  Production  Manager  William 
K.  Withendl  '43  announced  yesterda\' 
that  the  second  competition  for  the 
class  of  1945  for  piisitions  on  the 
l^niduclion,  Husimss,  and  Announc- 
ing Hoards  will  start  on  Monday, 
I'ebruarv  23. 


Losing  no  time  in  putting  their  plans  for 
reorganization  into  effect,  the  lixeeutive 
Committee  of  the  Williams  Network 
approved  two  resolutions  Thursday  de- 
signed to  revamp  the  departmental  struc- 
ture of  the  station,  and  to  increase  pro- 
gram variety. 

The  double  aim  of  this  new  plan  has 
been  incorporated  in  two  amendments  to 
the  WMS  constitution.  The  first  pro- 
vides for  the  creation  of  an  independent 
announcing  board,  separate  and  distinct 
(rom  the  production  board,  and  the  othiT 
specifics  that  the  business  board  shall 
.issume  the  duties  of  copy  writing,  which 
were  formerly  delegated  to  the  production 
staff. 

New  Positions 

Two  new  positions  have  been  created 
to  handle  the  work  of  the  newly  organized 
announcing  board;  the  office  of  Chief 
Announcer,  now  filled  by  William  C. 
Schram  '43,  and  the  position  of  Program 
Supervisor,  occupied  b\"  Robert  W.  Hin- 
man  '43.  Provision  has  been  made  for 
the  establishment  of  a  staff  of  program 
directors,  whose  duties  will  consist  in 
checking  the  quality,  efficiency,  and 
(jriginality  of  program   presentation. 

The  executive  Committee  also  initiated 
action  designed  to  establish  a  record 
library  of  vatiet\'  shows,  featuring  college 
talent  from  schools  throughout  the  E;ist. 
Acting  in  c<jllabornlion  with  the  Inter- 
collegiate Hroadcasling  System,  WMS  has 
proposed  a  radio  transcription  exchange, 
which  would  provide  diversified  entertain- 
ment material  recorded  in  permanent 
form  and  suitable  for  rebroadcasl  to 
various  colleginle   audiences, 

Valuable  Publicity 

Witherell  disclosed  that  WM.S  has  al- 
ready begun  wiirk  on  such  a  program. 
According  to  present  plans  it  will  include 
faculty  talks,  musical  selections  by  campus 
organizations,  and  a  comedy  skit.  With- 
erell pointed  out  that  such  recordings  will 
not  onh'  provide  program  material  f<ir 
other  colleges,  but  will  also  provide 
valuable  publicity   for  Williams. 

Town    Meeting   Votes 
Funds  To  Buy  Utility 

Agitation    For   Low    Rates 
Brings    Water    Purchase 

The  culmination  of  a  two  year  campaign 
for  reduced  water  rates,  given  its  impetus 
last  spring  by  a  series  of  articles  written 
for  The  Recoro  by  Philip  H.  Cocmibs, 
came  last  Monday  night  when  the  people 
of  Williamstown  voted  unanimously  to 
raise  $318,500  for  the  purchase  of  the 
local  water  company. 

'I'he  vote  stipulated  that  only  S3500 
of  the  total  sum  is  to  be  raised  by  the 
1942  taxation.  It  is  expected  that  the 
revenues  will  be  sufficient  to  write  off  at 
least  $10,000  of  the  debt  annually.  The 
remainder  of  the  S3 15,000  will  be  borrowed 
through  the  issuance  of  notes  and  bonds 
payable  "in  not  more  than  thirty  years." 
Ibe  final  price  of  the  water  franchise  was 
set  after  protracted  negotiations  with  the 
utility  executives, 

T'he  Monday  town  meeting  placed  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  utility  temporarily 
in  the  hands  of  the  Board  of  Selectmen. 
In  the  future  a  "water  district"  will  be 
established  and  placed  under  the  super- 
vision of  a  board  of  cf)nimissioners. 

Addressing  his  final  town  meeting 
Samuel  P.  Blagdcn  '96,  retiring  chairman 
of  the  board  of  selectmen,  urged  the 
Williamstown  citizens  to  use  discretion 
in  the  choice  of  a  government  for  the  new- 
ly-purchased utility.

Freshmen  Sweep 
Weekend  Contests 

S'Mrimmers,  Wrestlers, 

Basketball     Team     Take 
High-Scoring      Victories 

Coach  Bob  Muir's  freshman  swimming 
team  splashed  their  way  to  seven  firsts 
in  eight  events  last  Saturday  in  Lasell 
Pool,  defeating  Albany  Acadenty,  39-17. 
Losing  only  the  220-yard  sprint,  the  fresh- 
men piled  up  impressive  pointage  in  their 
first  win  in  two  starts. 

Captain    Bill   Case   proved    to    be   the 

outstanding    performer   in    winning   both 

the  50-yard  and  the   100-yard  dashes,  in 

the  meet,  25.3  and  58  seconds  respectively. 

Hole  Paces   Quintet 

Paci'd  by  Captain  L^ick  Mole,  the 
freshman  basketball  quintet  piled  up  75 
points  to  bury  Albany  Academy  under  a 
deluge  of  hoops  Saturday  afternoon  on 
the  Albany  court.  Coach  Dick  Coleman's 
charges  held  their  opponents  to  36 
markers,  while  Plunkett  topped  the 
Purple  in  .scoring  with  19  points,  followed 
by  Hole  with  16,  and  Bolton  Bangs  with 
14. 

Showing  more  finesse  than  they  have 
exhibited  all  >'ear,  the  freshmen  ran  up 
their  highest  score  of  the  year  in  display- 
ing their  fire-house  brand  of  basketball, 
and  showed  especial  improvement  in  their 
ball  handling.

Highlights  of  the  Wesleyan  game  weri' 
the  sharp  shocjting  of  Lindsay  and  the

half.  Captain  Wils  Barnes  held  Pop

week's  meeting  between  these  teams,  to 
but    seven    [joints. 

Leading,  27-24,  at  halftime,  the  Cardi- 
nals quickly  ran  up  a  len-piiint  advantage.

Draft  "A  Privilege" 

.Viet  at  the  elock  h\'  Professor  Uichard 
A.  Newhall,  (iatZKc  went  immediately  to 
.Montreal,  where  the  American  cimsiil 
changed  his  sixty-day  visiting  |)erniit  to  a 
regular  visa,  which  would  permit  him  to 
take  out  citizenship  papers.  He  did  so, 
an<l  is  now  waiting  for  his  hnal  papers, 
which  he  expects  sometime  in  March. 
When  he  attains  full  status  as  an  American 
citizen  he  will  probably  lie  called  for  draft 
dutv,  but  he  insists  that  will  be  "a  privi- 
lege." 

After  re-entering  Williams  as  a  junior, 
Mr.  Gatzge,  a  member  of  Delta  Kap|)a 
Epsihm,  received  his  degree  in  1938,  and 
for  the  next  two  years  he  studied  ami 
taught  at  Harvard,  where  he  took  his 
M.  A.  in  1940. 

Although  he  returned  to  Germany  in 
1935  because  he  felt  he  could  not  "change 
countries  as  one  would  change  an  over- 
coat," Mr.  Gatzge  soon  decided  that 
Nazism  had  ceased  to  be  "an  exclusively 
German  afTair,"  but  was  "a  world  menace." 

Believes  Allies  Will  Win 

The  German  expatriate  described  his 
attitude  toward  the  present  war  as  "more 
American  than  European,"  and  expressed 
"sincere  confidence  in  an  ultimate  victory 
for  the  Allies.  We  ha\e  the  best  materials, 
the  best  factories,  and  the  finest  minds  in 
the  world.  We  will  win,"  he  said,  "but 
we  must  look  beyond  military  victory  to 
the  peace." 

Expressing  patriotic  rewrence  for  the 
cultural  achievements  of  the  German  past, 
he  ileclared  that  any  post-war  settlement 
must  provide  a  suitable  environment  for 
for  the  continuance  of  that  tradition. 
Specilically  he  advocates  a  lengthening  of 
the  time  between  the  armistice  and  the 
peace  to  provide  a  "cooling-otT  period."

L.  K.  Bass  Renews  Call 
For  More  Volunteers 

Electric       Listeners       Will 
Not      Replace      Spotters 

C'otinteiacting  nmiors  that  the  listening 
devices  being  Iniilt  in  the  Thonipson 
I'hysics  Laboratory  would  replace  the 
vohinteei  watchers,  Lewis  K.  Mass,  head 
of  the  Williamstowii  lir  spotters,  state,! 
that  the  machines  would  be  used  to  relieve 
the  hardship  of  standing  in  the  cold  and 
would  by  no  means  take  over  the  jobs  of 
the  local  wardens. 

Spotter  Handles  Listener 

The  device  will  have  a  horn  which  mast 
be  turned  tow  ird  the  approaching  planes 
in  order  to  pick  up  the  sound  of  their 
motors,  and  will  recpiire  the  iiresence  of  a 
spotter  to  handle  it  and  another  to  check 
up  on  new  sounds  and  to  report  to  army 
headqjartcrs. 

Bass  expressed  concern  that  this  false 
rumor  might  discourage  future  volunteers, 
many  of  which  arc  badly  needed.  Me  said 
that  in  all  probability  only  one  automatic 
lookout  would  be  built. 

While  speaking  before  the  League  of 
Women  \oters  early  this  week,  Bass  re- 
\ealed  that  there  were  some  people  in  this 
community  who  think  that  the  local 
volunteers  organizations  is  a  "big  joke". 
"It  is  these  people,"  he  said,  ''who  will 
point  fingers  at  the  defense  group  and  sa\' 
'why  didn't  you  do  something'  when  a 
bomb  drops  on  Williamstowii.  What  is 
needed  now  is  less  criticism  and  more 
help." 

Allen  Publishes  ^Lif e  In 
18th  Century  England' 

Classic,    Romantic   Trends 
Analyzed      in      Portfolio 

"Life  in  18th  Century  Kngland."  a 
portfolio  by  Assistant  Professor  Robert 
J.  .Mien  of  the  Knglish  Department,  was 
])ublishcd  last  week  by  the  Boston  Museum 
of  Fine  Arts.  It  is  the  fourth  in  a  series 
analyzing  significant  periods  in  cultural 
history,  sponsored  by  the  Boston  .Museum. 
Original   Form 

The  format  of  the  portfolio  series 
re|)resents  a  distinct  departure  from 
conventional  book  form.  Professor  Allen's 
work  comes  in  a  large  folder,  which 
contains  forty-two  plates  of  illustrative 
material  with  accompanying  explanatory 
essays,  and  a  booklet  which  discusses 
cultural  trends  and  thought  patterns  of 
the  period. 

In  writing  the  booklet  and  gathering 
the  m-aterial.  Professor  .Mien  said,  "My 
:  ini  is  to  make  a  synthesis  of  the  various 
forces  w  hich  contributed  to  English  culture 
i:i  the  18th  Century."  The  booklet  makes 
this  synthesis  in  a  literary  way  and  the 
plates  do  it   visually. 

Professor  .iMIen  collected  the  plates 
used  in  the  portfolio  hy  writing  to  art 
galleries,  museums,  and  collectors.  One 
includes  a  print  from  a  Chapin  Library 
Look  on  gardening  by  John  Evelyn. 
Others  include  engravings  and  prints  of 
the  eighteenth  century,  as  well  as  photo- 
graphs of  articles  still  <'.xisting.  such  as 
buildings  and  the  paintings  of  Hogarth, 
( :ainsl)orough  and   Reynolds. 


Tufts,  R.  I.  State  Lead 
Mile  Relay  To  Wire 

i      Seeking   their  second   win   of  the    l')42 

season.  Coach  Tony  Plansky's  mile  relay 

team  encountered  misfortune  last   Satur- 

'duy    night    at   the    Boston    A.    A.    meet. 

Leading  off  foi  the  Ephnien  in  inie  of  the 

j  college  invitation   mile  relays,  sophomori' 

!  Dick  llunsdorfer  was  elbowed  off  the  last 

'  turn  in  a  tight  scramble  for  positions  and 

I  fell  70-yards  from  the  finish  line,  handing 

I  his  team-mates  a  deficit  of  forty  yards  by 

the  time  he  recovered. 

The  team  was  competing  against  Tufis 
and  Rhode  Island  who  crossed  the  finish 
one,  two  tespectivelv.  In  a  superb  effort 
to  retake  his  opponents,  Warner  Peck  ran 
a  4'). 8  second  qu.irler  (running  start),  and 
niail'.lgeil  III  win  back    'd  \'irds\ 


Paul  lleppes  pressed  his  men,  hm  ,i,|. 
gap  was  too  great.  Despite  his  la,, 
minute  drive  and  Brew  Chapman's  fasi 
anchor  leg,  the  Jumbos  and  Uanis  kept  ,, 
wide  margin  between  Williani-,  ;|,„| 
victory. 

.Showing  great  development  this  winter 
and  having  run  a  1:15  in  recent  pi.ieijcc' 
Peck  is  expected  to  run  in  the  (idll  yj,,.,! 
dash  in  the  New  England  A.  A.  meet  at

"It's  a  lair  ide.i  if  it  doesn't  uike  up  loo 
much  time.  but  then,  what  the  hell,  we 
are  in  a  war  and  you  should  do  some- 
thing— "  ranks  as  a  generally  representa- 
tive expression  of  campus  opinion  on  the 
student-farmer  plan  advanced  by  the 
Committee  on  Rural  Policy  of  W'illiams- 
t<jwn. 

P.  T.  Credits 

This  plan,  which  calls  for  thi'  services  of 
students  on  the  neighboring  farms  two 
half-days  a  week  to  alleviate  tin-  expected 
labor  shortage  during  the  sunmier  months, 
would  serve  to  furnish  P.  T.  credits  for 
those  recpiired  to  take  some  form  of  regular 
exercise. 

1  he  majority  ol  the  juniors,  sophomores, 
and  freshmen  t|Uestioned  were  in  favor  of 
the  plan — if  it  applied  to  someone  else. 
Only  those  who  had  dime  rural  work  before 
thought  th<-y  might  like  to  try  it  again, 
allhough  some  thought  the\'  would  lake  a 
taste  "for  curiositx's  sake".  All  thought 
it  would  be  good  for  scholarship  nun.  if 
the  pay  was  worth  while  and  the  hours 
not  too  long. 

New  Experience 
.Some  hailed  the   idea  for  the  new  ex- 
perience   it    would    offer    most    Williams 
students.     "We    might    learn    a    certain 
Irom    it    if    it   were   carried   out 
It    is  certainK'  belt**r  exercise 
than  the  nonsense  lhe\'re  handing  out  in 
the  Gym!" 

The  main  objection  raised  was  the 
apparent  lack  of  practicality.  "Who 
would  tell  us  where  to  work?"  "How 
could    the   workers    get    to   the   farms    if

"It  would  be  all  right  if  the  men  worked

Plan  Excellent 

1  Those  who  are  accustomed  to  working 
during  the  summer  in  order  to  .stay  in 
college  in  the  winter  hope  for  a  more 
lucrative  job.  If  they  can't  make  more

the  League  Council  shaved  an  hour 
from  Friday  night  dating  hours  yes-

following  remarks  (among  others); 
"Save  electricity,  my  maiden  aunt! 
"I'm  a  fast  worker,  but  this  is  going

up  the  question  of  civilian  morale.

Cooperative  management  has  become 
a  reality  at  Williams  College. 

F'ifteen  fraternities  and  the  Garfield 
Club,  acting  to  reduce  board  expenses, 
assured  the  establishment  of  a  Campus 
Business  Management  at  Williams  Col- 
lege last  weekend  b>'  their  unanimous 
approval  of  the  proposal  of  the  Inter- 
fraternity  Committee.  Fred  E.  Linder 
'12,  chairman  of  the  graduate  organiza- 
tion, has  indicated  that  ininiediale  steps 
for  the  formation  of  graduate,  under- 
graduate and  joint  councils  will  be  taken, 
and  that  the  system  will  be  in  operation 
on  or  shortly  after  March  1. 
Linder  'Gratified' 

Mr.  Linder,  a  weekend  visitor  in  Wil- 
liamstown,  expressed  his  compU-te  con- 
fidence in  the  cooperative  management 
I)lan.  and  said,  "I  was  gratified  at  the 
favorable  respimse  of  the  fraternities  to 
Campus  Business  Management.  I  had 
hoped  cooperative  buying  wnulil  be  a 
unanimous  effort." 

Appointment  of  a  fraternity  business 
manager  to  supervise  purchasing  and 
management  of  the  sixteen  social  units 
(luring  the  first  year  of  the  cooperative 
plan  at  Williams  will  be  made  b\'  a  Joint

End  of  an  Era 

Witli  .sonit'  rduclaucc,  our  sixteen  conservative  social  unit.s  have 
ended  an  ei'a  of  nonchalant  extravagance.  Faced  with  rising  board  hills, 
deercu-scd  ineinher.ship,  and  lack  of  continuity  in  hookkceping  and 
management,  our  fraternities  have  sensibly  decided  to  adopt  Campus 
Business  Management  to  help  in.siire  their  own  survival,  and  to  insure  the 
financial  welfare  of  Williams  College. 

To  (he  alunmi,  the  college  reiterates  its  sincere  appreciation  for  the 
splenilid  work  they  have  done  in  evolving  the  Cooperative  Management 
plan.  Anil  to  the  Williams  social  units  which  have  at  last  abandoned 
their  conservative  distrust  of  positive  action,  sensible  men  everywhere 
will  ex])ress  a])proval  today,  and  during  the  days  of  economy  and  pro- 
gressive change  which  lie  ahead. 


57-53,  46-43,  49-36 

These  three  scores,  symbols  of  Williams'  two  victories  over  Wesleyau 
and  of  last  Saturday's  triiunj)h  over  Amherst,  do  more  than  indicate  that 
this  college  has  ii  strong  chance  of  winning  its  first  Little  Three  basketball 
title  since  193.'}.  These  three  scores  indicate  that  something  has  hapi)cned 
to  A\'illiams  ba.sketball  which  is  worth  understanding  and  jircserving. 

Last  Novenibcr  Coach  Dale  Burnett  started  oft'  the  1941-42  campaign 
witli  a  sqiuul  of  loyal,  hfird-working  men  from  whom  nobody  cx])ectc(l 
more  than  an  average  record.  Burnett's  innovation  of  a  Christmas  trij), 
although  it  resulted  in  only  one  win,  proved  its  financial  feasibility  by 
netting  a  S39  i)i'ofit  for  the  Athletic  Association,  and  more  than  paid  for 
it.se]r  in  tjie  experience  and  conditioning  gained  by  the  .squad.  Last 
Satui'day  all  Williams  men  realized  they  had  a  ha.sketball  team  trained 
scientifically  to  make  the  most  of  its  natural  al)ility — a  team  remarkable 
for  its  cooperativcness  and  cool  strategy. 

The  eoachinfi  of  Dale  Burnett,  the  Christmas  tri]),  the  unsliiitini; 
effort  of  llio  Williams  .sfpiad  are  mostly  ix".s])oiisible  for  last  Saturday's 
victory  in  Laseil  Gym.  But  the  eajjable  cheer  leaders  and  the  over- 
whelming supixirt  accorded  them  by  the  Williams  supporters  contributed 
nnich  to  that  l'J-.'56  .score  —  a  fact  Coach  Burnett  him.self  was  the  first  to 
acknowledge.  Consetiuently  the  sui)])ort  given  (he  team  at  Amheist 
tomorrow  will  have  much  weight  in  deteriniiig  whether  Williams  is  to 
win  a  Little  Three  title  outright,  or  merely  to  in.sure  itself  of  a  two-w.ay  tie. 

In  view  of  all  this,  the  irresponsible,  unsporlsinaniike  conduct  of 
alioiit  twelve  Williams  men  last  Saturday  is  doubly  unfortunate.  Their 
hootinii  and  razzing  left  many  ahnnni  and  gue.sts  with  a  false  im])ression 
of  what  goes  on  at  a  Williams  athletic  contest.  Furthermore,  their  in- 
excu.sable  lack  of  decency  annoyed  most  of  the  other  spectators,  and 
•spoiled  for  many  one  of  the  best  games  any  Williams  ba.sketl;all  team  has 
ever  played.  Uotli  the  alunuii  and  Amherst  College  nuist  realize  how 
completely  the  conduct  of  these  twelve  undergraduates  is  regretted  and 
dc])lore<l  iiy  every  fair-minded  member  of  this  college. 

These  irresjionsible  few  must  not  prevent  Williams  from  realizing 
the  true  significance  of  last  Saturday's  winning  condiination  of  team, 
coach,  and  suiiporlers.  Last  Saturday  ])roved  that  the  Williams  brand 
of  unsiibsidized,  uni)rofessionalized  athletics  can  pay  excellent  dividends 
in  terms  of  good  .sportsmanship  on  the  part  of  the  majority  and  in  terms 
of  spectacular,  well-played  games.

Letter  to  Editors 


Notices 


When  The  Recoud  went  to  press,  those 
in  the  iiifirniary  were:  ChalTee,  Hendrie 
'42,  Shea  '43,  Caskey  '44,  Lcflfcrts,  Mather 
and  Collier  '45. 


To  the  Editors  of  The  Record: 

This  communication  is  an  open  invita- 
tion to  any  and  all  Williams  men  to  drop 
down  here  over  the  weekend  of  March  6, 
7,  and  8.  This  time,  however,  it  isn't  a 
football  or  basketball  contest,  but  our 
main  social  event  of  the  year,  THE 
VICTORY  PROM,  dedicated  as  you 
have  dedicated  your  dances,  to  the  whole- 
hearted raising  of  funds  for  the  national 
victory  cfTort. 

If  those  of   you   having  bids  for  the 


annual  .Smith  Spring  Dance  are  planning 
on  a  perfect  weekend,  drop  down  a  bit 
early  on  Friday  night.  From  8  p.  m. 
until  1  a.  m.  we're  presenting  Raynu)nd 
Scott  and  His  Orcheslia,  featuring  Doro- 
thy Collins  antl  Uilh  l.eai'h,  vocalists,  and 
Jinuuie  Muclntyre,  dancer-comedian. 
.Scott  lias  been  chosen  as  the  Coca  Cola 
Spotlight  HantI  for  that  evening,  and  will 
broadcast  from  the  Prom  at  9:30  p.  m. 
over  a  national  hookup. 

In  addition,  there'll  be  a  milk  bar,  Coca 
Cola  bar,  and  the  ever-welcome  wassail 
bar  as  well.  There  will  be  ample  rcjom  in 
our  fraternities  for  any  who  wish  five 
accunimodations  over  the  weekend. 

This  will  be  our  In'st  open  and  anrmiil 
dance.  Ticket  prices  arc  not  prohibitive 
— three  dollars  plus  tax  for  couples  or 
stags.  Last  year  it  was  exactb'  twice  that. 
In  addition,  the  Mastjuers  are  giving 
The  Girl  of  the  Golden  West,  which  will 
be  an  enjoyable  performance.  On  Satur- 
day, if  you're  not  going  over  to  Smith, 
we'll  be  plaj'ing  Wesleyan  in  the  last 
basketball  game  of  our  season. 

So   whether    you're   coming   down   for 
Spring   Dance,   or  just  for  a   Holyoke  or 
Smith   date — drop   around   and   join   the 
group.     You'll   be  sincerely   welcome.

THE  WILIJAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY.  FEBRUARY  27,  1942 


Tankmen  Upset  Brown, 
42-33,  in  Pool  Saturday 

Purple     Attacks     Wesmen 
in    Initial    Little   3    Tilt 

^Cheorud  cm  by  an  alumni-piicked 
gallery,  the  Williams  swiinmers  vati- 
(liiished  the  Brown  mermen  last  Saturday, 
42-33,  ill  a  warmup  for  the  Wesleyan  meet 
tomorrow.  Strongest  combination  in  the 
water  was  the  team  of  Sam  Bacon  and  Len 
Katon,  free  style  distance  swimmers,  who 
])laced  one-two  in  both  their  events. 

In  the  220-yard  freestyle.  Bacon  luid  a 
pool's  length  between  himself  and  the 
nearest  Brown  man,  while  Eaton  was  but 
ten  yards  behind  the  winner.  Again  in 
the  440-yard  event,  the  Williams  distance 
ace  churned  out  a  lead  of  ,50  yards  over 
Hac^tzhold,  with  Eaton  midway  between 
them. 

Backstroke  Clean-up 

The  backstrokers.  Bill  Budge  and  Ross 
MacDonald,  had  their  first  clean-up  of  the 
.season.  Budge  answered  his  teammate's 
early  bid  for  the  lead  on  the  fourth  length 
and  pulled  ahead  to  win  easily, 

Surprise  of  the  day  was  the  victor)'  of 
Jerry  'I'ravers  in  the  dive.  Threatening 
mildly  for  several  weeks,  he  riiially  nosed 
out  Ernie  Selvage  as  well  as  the  Providence 
entry,  Gossler.  A  disappointment  was 
I  )oiin  Early's  anchor  lap  of  the  medley. 
Though  he  won  in  fast  time,  the  effort  so 
lired  him  that  he  was  out-classed  in  both 
freest\'le  dashes.  In  his  lirst  varsity  50- 
\ard  race,  Sam  Maples  took  a  second 
behind  Brown's  Ik-rn. 

Stern  Opposition 

Hob  Muir's  squad  will  be  up  against 
>|{'rner  opposition  when  they  dive  into 
I'ayerweather  Pool  tomorrow  afternoon. 
Co-captain  Sam  Bacon  will  have  his  hands 
full  with  Cardinal  Captain  Stu  Hinrichs 
in  the  distance  features,  while  the  Purple's 
cither  star,  Donn  Early,  will  he  making  the 
spray  fly  to  keep  ahead  of  Kaninier  in  the 
sprints.  On  the  books,  the  Wesmen  are 
tough;  hut  Muir  bases  his  hopes  on  a 
perfect  performance  all  the  way  around 
and  a  careful  allocation  of  resources.

Theta  Delts  Hold  Slim 
Margin  in  Intramurals 

A.  D.  Quintet  Takes  Hoop 
Title,  Tops  Betes,  17-12 

Sweeping  over  all  opposition  without 
the  h)ss  of  a  game  in  league  A  competition, 
the  Alpha  Dclt  cagers  went  on  to  capture 
yesterday's  play-olT  battle  with  the  Beta 
Theta  Pi's  to  the  score  of  17-12.  Tliu 
Betes,  leaders  in  league  B,  although 
lighting  gamely,  found  their  style  of  play 
no  match  for  the  steam-roller  tactics  of 
the  winners. 

Freshman  Tom  Hoover,  of  the  Alplia 
Delt  team,  led  the  scoring  with  seven 
points.  The  Bote's  George  Bryan  and 
Ben  Duke  were  leaders  for  their  team  with 
live  markers  apiece. 

With  the  football,  swimming,  and 
basketball  now  completed,  the  intra- 
mural standings  show  the  Theta  Delts, 
with  34  points,  holding  a  slim  margin  over 
the  Beta  Theta  Pi's  3i.  Close' on  the 
heels  of  the  leaders  are  the  D.  U's.  with 
32  points  and  the  Delta  Phi's,  football 
winners,  with  30. 

\'olleyball  starts  next  week,  while  the 
squash,  handball,  golf,  tennis,  and  skiing 
crowns  are  still  in  the  process  of  being 
decided.

Williams  Six  Splits 
Pair  On  Cole  Rink 

Skaters  Trounce  Tech, 
Press  Vaunted  Indians 
in    Best   Game    of    Year 

Displaying  its  best  hockey  to  date, 
Whoops  Snively's  1942  team  closed  its 
home  season  this  week  1j\-  breaking  even 
in  two  hard-fought  contests.  Last  Satur- 
day the  E|)h  unit  took  the  M.  I.  T.  six  into 
camp,  6-1,  and  Wednesday  it  battled 
Darlniouth's  all-contiuering  .sextet  des- 
perately before  succumbing,  7-1.  They 
wind  up  their  scheduli'  tomorrow  when 
they  journey  to  Clinton,  New  York,  to 
meet  a  stnmg  Hamilton  outfit. 
Ephs  Aggressive 

I  he  Indians  were  hard-pressed  to 
register  their  fifteenth  straight  win.  In 
the  first  period  the  advantag;e,  if  any,  was 
with  the  aggressive  Ephs,  who  forced  the 
play  with  a  four-man  offense.  The 
Pui'ple  narrowl\'  missed  several  chances 
to  score,  as  Kittredge  and  Paj-son  sparked 
drives  that  kept  the  puck  inside  the  Dart- 
riKuUh  blue  line  for  most  of  the  period. 
Midway  through  the  period  Roewer  tallied 
from  point-blank  range,  after  eluding  the 
Purple  defense. 

The  second  period  was  another  story 
as  the  Hanover  skaters  showered  a  hail  of 
pucks  on  Marsh  Hannock.  Time  and 
again  superior  speed  and  stick-handling 
brought  the  visitors  to  the  very  edge  of  the 
crease  before  they  fired,  but  the  Eph 
captain  smothered  all  but  four  of  the 
Indian  attempts  in  a  sensational  display 
of  goal-tending. 

Nichols  Scores 

Dartmouth  scored  once  at  the  outset  of 
the  ihirtl  period  and  again  when  Harrison, 
who  had  been  held  scoreless  up  to  that 
time,  counted  on  a  long  .screen  shot.  From 
there  on,  the  Ephs  took  charge,  and 
Nichols  linally  beat  Hayes,  the  visiting 
goalie,  with  a  hard  drive.  Pressing  right 
to  the  end,  Ted  Brown,  who  had  teamed 
magniricenlly  with  Hill  Coulter  on  the 
defense,  drilled  a  shot  for  one  corner  of  the 
cage  that  Hayes  just  got  his  glove  on. 

Against  M.  I.  T.  on  Saturday  Bob 
Kittredge  pulled  the  hat  trick  when  he 
dented  the  cords  three  times  on  solo 
dashes.  Their  attack  muzzled  in  the 
opening  period  b)  an  alert  Tech  defense, 
the  Purple  stickmen  broke  loose  with  four 
counters  in  the  middle  .stanza,  led  b\' 
Payson's  earl\-  talK  .  .\\\  in  all,  the  first 
line  was  responsible  for  fi\'e  of  the  six  Eph 
markers,  as  the  sextet  chalked  up  its 
third  victory. 

Peck  Outlasts  Borck 
ToWinN.E.I.A.A.600 

Capt.  Warner  Peck  of  the  indoor  track 
team  came  within  a  half-second  of  equaling 
the  existing  track  record  in  the  New 
England  Inter-Collegiate  A.  A.  trackmeet 
at  Tufts  last  Monday,  when  he  won  the 
60()-yard  dash  from  a  held  of  brilliant 
performers,  in  1:15.  Howie  Borck,  former 
Indoor  mile  and  half-mile  Inter-Collegiate 
Champion,  pressed  him  in  the  final  drive 
down  the  backstretcb,  but  Peck  fought 
him  off. 

Coach  Plansky  plans  to  run  Peck  next 
in  the  1.  C.  4-A  Champion.ships  which  will 
be  held  next  weekend  in  Madison  Square 
Garden.  He  will  probably  run  the  600 
again.  Still  suffering  from  a  bruised 
ankle  sustained  while  playing  basketball, 
Brew  Chapman  may  not  be  in  shape  to 
run  the  1000-yard  race. 

Also  representing  Williams  at  Modford 
last  Monday  were  Al  Hearne  who  com- 
peted in  the  shot-put  and  Maurice  Good- 
body  who  ran  the  1000. 

With  the  I.  C.  4-A  meet  next  weekend, 
the  indoor  track  season  ends  for  the  Wil- 
liams squad.  Next  week  the  spring 
trackmen  go  into  training.  Williarus  has 
been  undefeated  in  spring  track  duel  meets 
for  four  years.

Chaffeemen  Score,  9-0, 
In  Little  Three  Opener 

Purple     Stops     Cardinals, 
Losing     Only    3    Games 

Coach  Clarence  Chaffee's  squash  leani 
opened  its  drive  for  Little  Threecliampion- 
ship  honors  at  Middlelown  Wednesday 
when  it  drubbed  a  weak  Cardinal  sciuad, 
9-0,  after  losing  to  Harvard  before  a 
homecoming  weekend  crowd,  6-3,  last 
.Saturday.  Although  weakened  b\-  the 
absence  of  Bob  Mendrie,  captain  and 
number  one  man,  the  Purple  ractpjetmen 
gave  their  Little  Three  rivals  only  three 
games  during  the  entire  match. 

Bill  Schmidt,  playing  in  the  one  spot, 
upset  Musil  in  straight  games,  but  the 
Cardinals'  number  twcj  man  Marsh  ex- 
tended Dude  Hemphill  to  four  games 
before  losing,  15-12,  12-15,  15-11,  15-11. 
Pod  Hunt,  playing  number  three  man 
Wilson,  prevailed  in   straight  games,  and 


Al  MauUby  trounced  Cornwall,  lS-6, 
15-6,  15-12. 

Uave  Peet  recovered  form  after  losing 
the  first  game  and  went  on  to  topple 
li>waler,  ,1-1,  Mike  Griggs  took  the 
nu'asure  of  VVesleyan's  Hronson  in  three 
games,  and  Ka\'  Ashley  laced  the  Cardinal 
number  sevi'u  man,  15-1,  15-11,  15-5. 

Kaye  Woodin  downed  number  eight 
man  Molina,  15-8,  14-17,  15-10,  1.5-9,  and 
Ury  Bostwick  turned  back  \'osburgh  in 
straight  games.

(Contlmied  from  pase  I) 

Ciil.  Otrnhinini's  iippriiisnl  of  the 
|)ri)iliu:ti(m  arm  i)f  I  lie  war  effort  filled  out 
the  Innclieon  roster. 

Just  Starting 

"I  don't  wint  to  iinpross  yon  tliat  evcry- 
tliiiig  is  going  fine  —  cvurythinK  isn't," 
Col.  Creeiibiuiiu  s-aid,  "but  tlie  fact  is 
tliat  the  production  program  as  a  whole  is 
moving  along  despite  our  previoiislethurgy. 
We  arc  iust  starting.  Afler  7.';  days  of 
war,  we  already  hear  despair.  What  kiml 
of  people  are  we?" 

The  speaker  uiaiiUained  that  we  must 
briug  into  play  immediately  and  iiniiniui- 
ously  all  the  forces  that  have  nuide  our 
country  what  it  i.'^,  and  enipluisizeil  that 
liberty  is  not  a  heritage  but  a  fresh  con- 
fpie.st  for  each  generation. 
,  "What  will  happen  dnring  the  coming 
year  is  up  to  the  enemy  —  but  not  only 
lip  to  the  enemy,"  he  declared.  "We  too 
have  :i  lot  to  sa>-  about  what  is  going  to 
happen.     It  is  up  to  us." 

SPRING  SPORTS 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

ihat  the  games  woidd  prol)ably  have  to  he 
arranged  as  opporlunilies  came  up.  How- 
ever, a  tentative  game  with  Amherst  is 
set  for  July  4.  Local  industrial  teams  will 
proliably  proviile  some  of  ihe  opposition, 
he  atldetl. 

Hardest  hit  of  the  spring  sports  is 
tennis,  which  had  its  entire  schedule  wiped 
out  by  the  action  of  other  colleges  "trying 
to  cut  down  on  their  athletic  budgets," 
according  to  Mr.  Oslerhiiul.  However, 
the  chances  are  ihat  a  full  scheilule  will  be 
arranged  for  the  sunnner  months. 

Golf  Team 

The  golf  team,  its  schedule  slashed  from 
an  original  ten  matches,  will  take  part  in 


the  IntercolleKiates  to  be  held  at  Woieesin  • 
April  24  and  2S.  Me<lal  play  will  be  lu.y 
on  the  24th,  and  the  two  lowest  senrers 
will  play  olT  for  the  title  on  the  2.Slh. 

The  lacrosse  schedule  has  been  iedii|.„| 
from  live  to  three  games,  DartnujiKl,  ;,||,|

Now      Eligible 


With  the  close  of  the  first  semester, 
\'iilliani  G.  Perry,  A.ssistant  to  the  Dean, 
'"  :v.in  a  survey  to  discover  to  what  extent 
•'■'■  individual  instruction  in  study  methods 
''  "I  helped  students  who  came  to  him  for 
II  distance  during  the  last  term.  His 
nport,  presented  to  the  Trustees  b>-  the 
l*'an  in  February,  disclosed  encouraging 

li-'Ults. 

I  'esigned  to  help  not  onh'  poor  sludents, 
''III  men  with  high  I.  Q.  ratings  who  have 
ilill'iculty  studying  efficiently,  Mr.  Perry's 
mil  iluring  the  last  semester  was  on  a 
ii'iiiplelely  voluntary  basis.  During  the 
'iiih-\'ear  eighty-three  students  requested 
''lip,  and  received  it  in  the  form  of  1.58 
piivate  appointments  with  the  Deanis

'  I'PircIassmen  are  encouraged  to  make 
iilMiointmenls. 

Comparative  Grades  Available 
Most   students  appealed  to   Mr.   Perry 
'ill  advice  at  a  time  when  their  grades  were 
I  lulling.    For  61  of  the  83  men,  figures 


comparing  their  marks  at  the  time  when 
they  sought  help  and  at  the  end  of  the 
semester  are  available.  These  figures 
represent  only  the  courses  in  which  the 
students  received  advice,  and  it  can  safely 
be  assumed  that  the  gains  shown  here 
were  reflected,  in  a  great  nian\'  cases,  in 
other  courses.

and  three  .sophomores.  Lieutenant  Breth- 
erick, who  interviewed  candidates  here 
several  weeks  ago,  will  give  physical  ex- 
aminations and  interviews  to  new  appli-

already  applied. 

The  Marine  Corps  provitles  one  of  the 
few  remaining  plans  whereby  college  stu- 
dents can  ap|)ly  for  officers'  training  after 
completion  of  the  regular  four-year  course. 
Ptofessor  Bushnell  emphasized,  and  those 
accepted  will  he  placed  in  the  officers' 
training  course  ininiediHtely  upon  gradua-

Purple  Key  Expands, 
Creates   New   Posts 

Purple  l\e\'  Presidi'iil  Charles  II.  lower 
'42,  announced  this  week  the  culmination 
of  plans  fornuilaled  earlier  this  winter  for 
the  .idmission  of  sophomores  to  full 
mi'mbership  in  the  managerial  organi- 
zation. M  the  sami' time  Tower  reporteil 
that  the  position  of  assislani  manager  had 
been  abolished  in  all  sports,  and  to  take 
its  place  the  post  of  associate  niaiiager  had 
been  created. 

The  new  position,  that  of  associate 
manager,  is  to  be  awarded  to  the  second 
man  in  the  competition  that  determines 
the  manager.  This  move  was  necessi- 
tated by  the  fact  that  under  the  three- 
year  course,  the  normal  progression  from 
compel  to  assistant  manager  to  manager 
is  impossible.  If  the  manager  leaves 
college,  ihe  associate  manager  would  then 
take  ovi'r.  Otherwise  he  pirtorms  the 
same  duties  as  the  assistant  manager  has 
in  the  past. 

All  sophomores  who  would  imniially  be 
entitled  to  membership  nexl  fall  will  be 
a<lmilled  at  the  next  meeting,  and  the 
plan  for  associate  managers  will  go  into 
efTi'Cl  with  the  spring  sports.  Tower  said. 
At  the  same  lime  Purple  Key  determined 
to  reduce  the  amounl  of  work  involved  in 
the  competitiims  lo  accommodate  them  to 
the  accelerated  program.

Against     Cards,     Battles 

j     Jeffs      Here      Tomorrow 

In  a  sens.itional  sweep,  the  Williams 
swimmers  completely  swamped  Wesleyan 
in  Middletown  la.st  Saluriliiy,  grabbing 
eight  out  of  nine  Tirst  places,  estahlishing 
a  new  Williams  record  for  the  dive,  and 
piling  up  a  score  of  ${)-!$.  With  pre-nieet 
odds  slightly  in  favor  of  the  Cards,  the 
rout  came  as  a  complctr  upset  for  the 
home  team. 

Spark  of  the  attack  was  Cu-captaiii  .S.ini 
Bacon,  who  after  taking  the  lead  turned 
over  lo  him  hy  Ross  MacDonald  and 
Art  VVrighl  in  the  opening  nu'dley  and 
converting  it  into  the  lirst  victory  of  the 
day,  rushed  down  the  pool  in  the  next 
event  to  beat  \\'esle\.ni  ('a|)lain  Slu 
Hinrichs  in  a  gru<dliiig  220  yard  freestyle 
till.  .Asain  in  the  440  freestyle  race  he 
took  over  the  Cardinal  caiHiiin  by  a  com- 
forlablr  margin. 

Selvage  Sets  Record 

Far  outstripping  the  ojiposit  ion,  ICrnie 
.Selvage  and  teammali-  Jerry  Travers 
copped  Un-  diving  htmors.  Selvage's 
score  of  96 .  9  will  be  listed  as  a  Williams 
College  record  under  the  new  eight-dive 
regulations.  Travers  in  second  place  was 
within  one  point  of  the  winner. 

Slated  to  find  uphill  swininiing  against 
the  highly  touted  Kamnier,  leader  in  the 
Wesleyan  sprints,  Purple  Co-captain  Don 
Karly  answered  by  forcing  his  wa\'  past 
the  Cardiii.l1  speedster  in  the  .SO-\iird  as 
well  as  the  10l)-\ard  events.  Hill  Budge 
and  MacDonald  captnri'd  the  lirst  two 
places  in  the  backstroke  for  the  Williams 
squad.  Then  VWight  ami  Hank  Hewetson 
repealed  the  performanre  in  the  breast 
stroke.

Another  Year,  Another  Council 

A  year  ha.s  jiassetl  .since  the  19'41-12  Undergraduate  Council  i)er- 
fornied  it.s  first  duty  by  electing  unusually  capable  men  to  be  its  officers 

During  that  year  the  U.  C.  lias  urged  locking  dormitory  rooms; 
has  unanimously  endorsed  W.  C,  A.  clothes  drives;  has  clarified  the 
"spirit"  of  college  driving  rules;  has  considered  enforcement  of  fresh- 
man rules;  has  directed  war  relief  donations;  has  mafic  a))pointinents  to 
push  the  .sale  of  U.  S.  defen.sc  bonds;  has  .supervised  class  elections;  has 
"revealed"  hou.se  ])arty  regulations  (spring);  has  directed  ru.shing;  has 
"re-revealcd"  house  party  regulations  (fall);  has  rai.sed  the  annual  tax  on 
each  of  the  sixteen  social  units  from  $30  to  $.35. 

Only  twice  duriiig  that  year  did  tlie  U.  C.  come  near  winning  cain|)us 
vide  re.s])cct  ])y  a  ])ositive  act  of  leadership.     But  in  both  atteinjjts,  tlic 
U.  ('.  failed. 

First,  in  late  October  the  Council  failed  to  take  a  positive  .stand  on 
driving  in  Williamstown,  desjiite  the  fact  tliat  the  faculty  had  lieen 
im])ressed  by  the  U.  C.'s  previous  enactment  and  enforcement  of  a  no- 
drive-in-town  rule.  It  took  three  declarations  of  war  against  the  United 
States  to  convince  the  Council  that  the  no-drivc-in-town  rule  .should  be 
reado])ted.  Second,  in  early  fall,  the  U.  C,  failed  to  recon.sider  the 
enforceuient  of  freshman  rules,  despite  the  fact  that  the  Junior  Advi.sers, 
to  whom  the  Council  delegated  its  authority  over  the  freshmen,  were  un- 
able to  enforce  the  rules  effectively. 

The  di.sapi)oiiiting  record  of  the  retiring  Council  was  jji-obalily  cau.sed 
by  three  I'acis:  (1)  t lie  average  Council  uieinher's  belief  tliiit  he  was  elect e<l 
merely  to  reflect  I  lie  opinion  ol'  others  rather  than  to  he  a  leader  of  opiniim 
himself;  (2)  the  indifferent  attitude  towards  the  future  of  student  govern- 
ment which  was  held  liy  many  uiulergraduates;  and  f.'])  the  uncertainty 
of  the  Ctniiieil  as  to  the  extent  to  which  it  wi.shcd  to  govern. 

The  new  Council  cannot  ho])e  to  .secure  jxiwer  over  the  college's 
driving  rules  or  over  .some  plia.ses  of  college  disci])linary  action  until  it 
demonstrates  its  eaiJability  and  initiative  to  the  trustees  and  faculty. 

The  new  Undergraduate  Council  can,  however,  lead  the  fratc-iiities 
ill  di.scussiiig  their  |)roblenis  of  scholarship,  hell  week,  and  finance;  il  can 
investigate  the  whole  iiroblein  of  Amherst-Williains  athletic  relations, 
and  .sui)i)ort  llie  Purple  Key  in  its  drive  to  i)iit  these  relations  on  a  healthier 
basis;  it  can  find  out  what  hai)i)eiie(l  to  the  proposed  faculty  lecture  series 
on  the  war,  and  can  make  certain  this  .series  is  soon  forthcoming:  it  can 
pass  judgement  on  the  stndent-farni  jiroject  recently  ])re.senled  by  local 
officials;  it  can  lead  the  college  in  contributing  blood  to  the  Blood  Service 
of  the  American  Red  Cross. 

These  are  lint  a  few  of  the  jjo.sitive  .stejjs  which  the  new  U.  C.  mu.st 
take  if  it  wishes  to  lay  the  foundations  for  more  effective,  nuire  compre- 
hensive stuilent  government  in  months  to  come. 


Letter  to  Editors 


To  the  Kililnrs  of  Thk  I<p:coiiD: 

The  unfortunate  incidents  wliich  took 
place  -It  Amtierst  tist  Saturday  were  dis- 
liearti'iiing  and  ilisappointinj;  to  tliose 
who  h'lve  felt  tlvit  the  Amherst-Will ianis 
rivalry  is  an  important,  worthwhile  factor 
in  the  traditions  of  the  two  colleges.  This 
tradition  has  Invn  liuilt  u|)  in  over  fifty 
years  of  athletic  coin]ietition  hetwoen 
the  two  colleges,  ami  it  has  niennt  in  the 
past,  as  indeed  it  does  today,  a  great  deal 
to  the  social  background  o[  both  institu- 
tions. 

Hut  it  is  not  a  tradition  of  rivalry  alone 
that  has  grown  up  o\-er  these  intiny  \'cars. 
Along  with  the  competition  has  developed 
slowly  and  sonietinies  painfully,  to  he  sure, 
an  entire  code  of  conduct,  a  means  of 
judging  what  conduct  is  acceptable  and 
what  conduct  is  not.  This  code  has  be- 
come an  integral  part  of  our  tradition  just 
as  it  has  become  an  integral  part  of  the 
Amherst  tradition.  In  fact  it  has  always 
been  an  important  part  of  any  lon^;  stand- 
ing college  rivalry,  and  in  many  ways  it 
is  the  most  important  part. 

Tlinnighout  the  history  of  the  Amher.st- 
VVilliams  rivalry  there  have  been  many 
times    when    these    relations    June    been 


strained,  sometimes  to  the  breaking  point, 
because  the  traditions  of  sportsman.ship 
and  good  taste  which  ha\'0  grown  up  with 
the  rix-alry  itself  are  temporarily  forgotten. 
Saturday  night  was  such  an  ocaision. 

It  is  (lifiicult  to  determine  who  was  re- 
sixinsiljle  for  the  bad  feeling  which  came 
to  the  surface  at  this  particular  time,  nor, 
fundaincntally  speaking,  is  it  important 
oi  e\-eii  desirable  that  an  attempt  be  made 
to  find  where  the  trouble  started.  The 
really  important  thing  is  that,  whatever 
the  iniiiiediate  causes  may  have  been,  the 
situation  which  arose  was  a  nasty,  dis- 
agreeable affair,  disagreeable  to  those 
actually  involved,  to  the  spectators,  and 
to  both  colleges  !is  a  wliolc. 

If  this  were  an  isolated  instance,  it 
might  possihl\-  be  ascribed  to  the  peculiar 
circumstances  which  surround  a  close, 
exciting  game  and  could  easily  he  for- 
gotten. Unfortun.Uely,  Imwcver,  this  does 
not  seem  to  l)e  the  case.  leather  than 
being  an  isolated  incident,  this  discourag- 
ing affair  was  indicative  of  a  fundamental 
attitude,  an  attitude  of  inutiiul  mis- 
understanding and  mistrust  which  has 
increasingly  domiinted  Amherst-Williams 
athletic  relations  during  the  past  few  years. 
With  the  introduction  of  this  mistrust 
and  niisimderstanding  much  of  the  spirit 
of  good  sportsmanship  and  good  taste 
has  heeii  allowed  to  fall  by  tlic  wayside. 
Precisely  where  the  causes  of  this  invidious 


trend  lie  is  a  dillicull  question.  Uiidouht- 
edl>-  there  are  a  variety  of  factors  involved, 
and  probably  an  eipial  share  of  the  blame 
falls  to  the  various  elements  in  each 
college.  But  whale\er  the  causes  may  he, 
the  results  are  only  too  obvious,  and, 
moreiner,  they  ha\e  given  rise  to  a  good 
many  erroneous  im|)ressions  as  to  what 
the  character  of  the  Amherst-Williams 
relaiions  should  be. 

In  the  first  |)lace  a  good  nviny  people 
ha\e  come  to  feel  that  cmnnion  ci\'ility 
ami  respect  for  the  other  team  are  in- 
consistent with  a  really  keen  athletic 
rivalry,  that  \ou  cannot  have  both.  If 
this  were  true,  it  would  seive  as  a  severe 
indictment  of  intercollegiite  athletics  as 
they  are  organized  in  .iXmerica  today,  and 
in  addition  it  would  pro\ide  those  who  are 
continuall)-  attacking  the  intercollegiate 
athletic  system  with  an  excellent  argumeiit 
for  its  abolition.  But  luckily  this  is  not 
the  case.  \\m  can  have  keen,  virile 
competition  and  still  adhere  to  the  tra- 
ditions of  sportsmanship  and  mutual  re- 
spect which  are  a  part  of  the  background 
of  each  college.  This  is  neither  idealistic 
speculation  nor  wishful  thinking.  It  is 
fact  and  it  has  been  proven  to  be  so. 

Again,  some  |)cople  protest  that  adher- 
ence to  such  a  strict  code,  assuming  for 
the  moment  that  it  is  strict,  takes  all  the 
fun  out  of  the  game  both  for  the  players 
and  for  the  spectators.  They  suggest 
that  some  of  the  actions  and  attitudes 
which  ha\-e  tended  to  develo|)  are  really 
a  part  of  tlie  game  itself.  Obviously,  it 
is  difficult  in  many  cases  to  draw  an  accur- 
ate line  and  to  say  with  an\-  degree  of 
precision  that  this  is  acceptable  conduct 
while  something  else  is  not.  Mere  again, 
howe\-er,  it  is  not  the  particular  action 
which  is  important;  rather,  it  is  the  spirit 
in  which  it  is  carried  out,  and  most  of  us, 
if  we  accept  the  basic  standard,  know  when 
that  standard  has  been  \-ioIated.  whoever 
may  be  the  offender. 

These  are  two  of  the  misconceptions 
which  ha\e  given  rise  to  the  poor  relations 
which  undeniably  do  exist  today.  That 
thev  do  exist  and  that  they  should  con- 
tinue to  exist  is  an  alisurd,  demoralizing 
situation.  A  good  many  of  the  under- 
graduates in  l)(]th  colleges,  especially  many 
of  those  who  participate  in  athletics,  real- 
ize this  fact  as  iudi\iduals;  \et  because  of  a 
\-.iriet.v  of  circumstances  they  find  theni- 
s;lvos  conip'lk'd  to  rcc-i'.i  :in  attitude 
which  they  realize  to  be  both  fdl.riuu... 
and  destructive. 

If  we  permit  this  situation  to  continue, 
we  are  not  only  creating  an  entirely  wrong 
set  of  \-alucs  for  those  who  p:irticip;ite  in 
the  athletic  ss'stem  but  we  are  also  s.".cri- 
ficing  a  rich  and  \'ital  element  in  the  Ijaek- 
ground  of  the  two  colleges,  the  Amherst- 
Williams  rivalry.  This  rivalry  has  meant 
a  good  deal  to  both  colleges  in  the  pist, 
and  much  of  this  meaning  comes  not  from 
the  conip.'iiition  itself  Init  from  the  ira- 
diiion  of  gocd  taste  which  h-s  ,,r(  »v  :i  up 
with  it.  H(/i;h  ere  worch  kee|ji'ig.  lun  one 
h;:s  n.-i  ni..v.ning  without  the  other.  It  is 
better  that  we  do  awav  with  the  entire 
tradition  if  we  are  not  willing  to  make  the 
effort  necessary  to  carry  it  on  in  the  only 
spirit  which  can  give  it  this  legitimate 
ineaiiing.

(liditors'  note: — ll'c  agree  comptetrly  with 
Reader  Tower.  Those  of  us  who  Ihink  thai 
good  sportsmanship  is  incompatible  with  a 
hard-fought,  close  rivalry,  those  of  us  who 
believe  that  a  win  over  Amhtrsi  justifies 
any  action  on  the  part  of  spectators  should 
reconsider,  and  reconsider  before  the  Wil- 
liams-Amherst rivalry  is   jeopardised. 

Reader  Tower  stated  in  a  footnote  to 
his  letter  tluit  these  opinions  are  his  own,

Princetonian  announced  last  week  that 
until  the  summer  session,  it  would  publish 
only  three  issues  weekly.  In  addition  to 
the  heavily  laden  curriculum,  the  rising 
costs  of  publication  with  the  lowering  of

advisable.

( '.arilen  .Saturday  night.  I  laving  recently 
triumphed  over  all  competition  in  the  .N'ew 
luisland  A.  A.  Meet  at  Tufts,  Peck  looms 
as  a  possible  threat  to  the  star-studded 
field. 

Hrew  Chapman,  stellar  middle-distance 
man,  who  has  recovered  from  a  bruised 
licel,  will  run  in  the  lOOO-yard  nice. 
Tnesday  in  practice  he  eclipsed  by  more 
ilian  a  second  the  lime  which  won  the  New 
IjL.'land  1000  last  week. 

I'ordham's  John  Campbell  rules  as  pre- 
iiieet  favorite  in  the  ftOOyard  dash,  along 
with  the  etiually  talented  Carl  Fii?lds  of 
.St.  John's  who  paced  off  a  1:13.2  in  the 
Metropolitan  College  Meet,  but  they  will 
liMve  to  extend  themselves  to  beat  the 
-leadily  improving  Peck. 

With  track  coaches  inserting  their  star 
performers  in  the  races  calculated  to  earn 
iliem  the  most  points.  Chapman  must 
niiitch  strides  wilh  Dartmouth's  ace  milcr

college  authorities  to  evacuate  Graduate

This  exodus  is  the  result  of  67  departures

of  the  war  in  December. 


A  rise  in  food  prices  with  a  special  rate 
for  extra  orders  was  put  into  effect  in 
Cambridge  early  last  week.  While  the 
Lampoon  declared  it  woitUI  "raise  cain"  to 
alleviate  any  sugar  shortage,  signs  ap- 
peared in  I'nion  Hall  the  night  before  the

Practice  Blackout 

Student  Post-Wardens, 
Sworn  in  This  Week, 
Enforce  'Air  Raid'  Rules 

by  NioN  R.  TucKKu,  Jii.  '44 

The  new  whistk'  on  tlu'  liualinf;  plant, 
;iical  church  hells,  fire-iMiKinc  and  police 
c.ir  sirens  will  sound  in  Willianistown  as 
■iroel,  store,  home,  and  colle)j;e  lights  go 
-ut  Monday  night  at  9:00  in  Berkshire 
ounty's  first  lest  blackout.  Student 
■.aniens,  sworn  in  this  week  by  Chair- 
dan  W'inthrop  H.  Root  of  the  College 
Conniiittee  t)n  Co-operation  with  the 
.'Sational  Defense  Program,  will  go  to  their 
|iiis(s  in  the  college  dormitories  and  build- 
ings for  the  duration  of  the  twenty  minute 
'raid." 

Token  Raids 

Though  VVilliamstown'b  chances  of 
l.cing  bombed  are  not  high,  Professor  Sam 
;\llen,  local  head  of  the  Air  Kaid  Prc- 
iiution  Committee,  pointed  out  that  if 
iliere  are  token  raids  on  the  Allanlic 
(oast,  escaping  enemy  planes  ma\'  drop 
iliiir  loads  over  North  Adams  and  the 
lullege  community,  particularly  with  the 
important  Boston  and  Maine  trunkline 
1  nnning  through  this  valley.  In  additi(jn, 
he  added,  "An\'  community  working  lo- 
ij(  ther  is  important,  and  has  great  value 
Ml  morale  and  defense  work." 

Students  hearing  the  warnings  should 
inrn  out  all  lights,  including  flashlights 
.md  candles,  and  refrain  from  lighting 
( igarettes  unless  in  a  light  protected  room. 
No  one  but  the  officials,  wearing  the 
WILLIAMS  COLI.EC.K  A.  K.'P.  badges 
on  their  lapels  will  be  allowed  out  of  the 
liiiijrlini;.-  Others  found  on  the  '^Irei'ts 
will  be  subject  to  arrest  and  fine. 

Exceptions  to  this  county-wide  li'st 
blackout,  will  be  the  industrials  on  dc- 
lense  work  who  will  not  be  renuired  to 
rxlingnish  all  lights,  but  may  test  their 
lir-raid  provisions  at  this  lime.  Airway 
iiid  railroad  signals  will  be  left  on,  al- 
ilioiigh  all  station  and  yard  lights  will  be 
iinned  olT  or  hooded. 

Whistle  Gives  Signal 

When  ihe  four  short  blasts  of  the  warn- 
ing whistle  are  heard,  ihe  post-wardens 
will  report  to  their  stations  all  over  the 
i.injpus.  They  will  be  identified  by 
ni.uiilla   badges    issued    them    when    they

Trust-Busier  Arnold 
Talks  Sunday  Night 
On  Free  Enterprise 


Thurnian  -Arnold,  famed  assistant  attor- 
ney general  of  the  United  States,  will  speak 
on  "Free  Enterprise  During  the  War  and 
After"  next  Sunday  in  Chapin  Hall  at 
7:45  p.  m.  Mr  Arnold,  who  comes  to 
Willianistown  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Williiims  Lecture  Coniniittee.  heads  the 
Department  of  Justice's  anti-trust  division. 

A  "big  name"  who  combines  vast  legal 
and  political  experieiue  with  a  forceful, 
energetic  personality,  'I'hurman  Arnold  is 
expected  to  draw  the  largest  audience  of 
any  Willianistown  lecturer  this  year.  His 
prosecution  of  the  Aluminum  Company  of 
America,  which  was  recently  decided 
against  the  government,  has  been  his 
most  publicized  attempt  at  trust-busting 
to  date. 

While  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the 
Yale  Law  School,  Mr.  Arnold  published 
his  best-selling  Folklore  of  CiipiUilism,  an 
ironic  characterization  iif  the  political  and 
economic  "myths"  of  .American  demo- 
cratic thought.  Tliis  hook,  which  also 
contains  a  bitter  picture  of  the  law  pro- 
fession, lias  fre(|uently  been  a  re(|uired 
text  in  Williams  political  seiemx-  and 
economics  courses. 

U.  C.  Announces 
1943  Committees 

Sets  Spring  House  Party 
on  April  18;  James  '43 
to    Head    1942    Rushing 

Uobert  li.  Kittredge  'M,  president  of  the 
''r.dergraduate  Council,  .;.-.nouiiced  Tues 
day  the  appointment  of  six  student  com- 
mittees  of  the  U.  C.  .At  the  same  time, 
he  also  announced  that  tlu-  Council  had 
set  April  18  as  the  date  for  spring  house 
parties. 

House  parties  will  be  subjected  to 
several  modifications,  he  pointed  out. 
Instead  of  the  usual  two-day  weekend,  the 
festivities  will  be  Innited  to  one  night. 
He  added  that  a  definite  ceiling  will  be 
placed  on  the  ainoiiiit  of  money  that  each 
house  will  be  allowed  to  spend. 

Individual  House  Dances 

There  will  be  Saturday  night  dances  in 
the  indiviihi'.il  houses  similar  to  those  held 
on  Er'day  n'ght  last  year;  some  action  may 
be  taken  as  to  cors.iges,  although  nothing 
definite  has  vet  been  decided.  These 
curtailments,  he  po'iited  out,  were  insti- 
tuted in  conformity  with  the  present  w;ir- 
tinie  limitations  in  othei  cam]His:ictiv-ities. 
The  following  comniilteeswere  announced: 
KiiNliiiiK  Comniillee:  Chairman,  .Man

Bloodthirsty  Five 

'■'or  reasons  clear  only  to  the  opposing 
'cams,  the  bloodthir.sty  five,  as  they  have 
lieeii  termed  behind  their  backs,  have  all 
""luired  nicknames.  Bruiser  Burnett, 
"ips  Caldwell,  Dirty  Dick  Coiman, 
docker  Simmons,  and  Trip-cm-up  Thoms 


are  names  that  command  the  respect  of 
hoop  adicls  everywhere. 

.Success  has  crowned  the  efforts  of  the 
outfit  ever  since  its  formation  in  1937. 
As  Coiman  puts  it:  "We  have  never  lost 
a  game  although  we  were  robbed  on 
several  occasions." 

Referees  are  conspicuous  by  their 
absence  at  Pelican  encounters,  and  in  all 
cases  of  dispute,  the  Pelicans  arbitc. 
Close  games  have  been  known  to  last  as 
long  as  two  hours,  but  always  terminate 
abruptly  when  the  Pelicans  go  out  in  front. 
No  Holds  Barred 

Basketball,  as  played  by  this  quintet,  is 
hardly  a  non-contact  sport,  and  rules  that 
prohibit  blocking,  pushing,  charging,  hip- 
ping, hacking,  and  gouging  are  wisely 
dispensed  with.  Physical  prowess  is  at  a 
premium,  and  the  finer  nuances  of  the  hoop 
sport,  such  as  dribbling,  and  helping  the 
opposition  off  the  floor,  are  lost  in  basket- 
ball a  In  Pelican. 

Although  they  haveas  yet  been  unable 
to  schedule  the  House  of  David  or  the 
Globe  Trotters,  the  Pelicans  are  supremely 
confident  of  their  .superiority.  "Dem 
bums,"  said  Dirty  Dick,  spokesman  for  the 
cagers,  "We'd  moidcr  'eml"

Schttman  in  Kaleidoscopic  Review  Sets  Goals

"Til  slate  the  successes  which  the  Axis,

of  Russia  from  the  war  liy  a  knock-out 
blow,  and  the  joining  of  .Axis  and  Japanese 
forces  in  the  Middle  liast."  Such  is  the 
statement  of  author,  lecturer,  teacher,  and 
prognosticator  Frederick  L.  .Scluiman, 
V\'ondro\'-  Wilson  Professor  of  Politiival 
Science,  in  a  recent  inlerview. 

Nazis  Threaten  Suez 
With  the  first  of  these  goals  already 
attained,  Mr.  Scluiman  indicates  that  the 
next  Axis  step  would  be  towards  joining 
forces  in  the  Middle  East.  Continuing, 
he  says,   "due   to  climate,   material,  and

Williams    Athletes 
Play   Host   to  Jeffs 

'Twenty-three  Williams  athletes  will 
pla\'  host  s  to  a  contingeni  of  sports  leaders 
from  .Amherst  at  a  dinner  at  the  Kappa 
Alpha  House  Fridav',  March  20.  'There 
is  a  iiossibilily  that  a  similar  dinner  may 
be  held  at  .Anihersl  in  ihe  spring. 

Disturbed  by  the  growing  breach  in 
relations  emphasized  by  the  unfortunate 
incident  during  the  basketball  game  at 
Amherst,  Alonzo  G.  lleariie  and  Charles 
H.  Tower  '42  conceived  the  idea  of  a  get- 
together  designed  to  improve  feeling 
between  undergraduates  of  the  rival 
colleges.  Co-operating  with  them  at 
Amherst  have  been  Thcoilore  Lacy  '42, 
varsity  football  manager  and  president  of

The  K.xcciitive  ( 'oniniittoe  is  dotermined  "to  load  the  undergraduate 
l)ody  in  a  year-loiif;  drive  to  make  student  government  .something  more 
than  a  inytii  at  Williams  College."  To  achieve  this  goal,  the  Connnittce 
should  stir  np  inlere.st  among  the  student  body  for  a  larger,  more  forceful 
voice  ill  college  affairs;  it  should  fight  the  antipathy  of  Hopkins  Hall 
ofKcials  toward  student  government;  it  shouUl  do  everything  within  it.s 
power  lo  help  Williams  successfully  cope  with  the  technological  deinaiuLs 
of  war. 

The  new  I'.  C.'.s  action  in  ap|)roving  a  modified  .spring hou.se  jiarly 
indicates  that  tlic  Council  may  lead  student  opinion  this  year  rather  than 
.simply  rerU'ct  i(.  The  Executive  Committee,  which  has  already  iiledged 
itself  to  make  availat)lc  for  the  college  a  faculty  lecture  series  on  the  war, 
also  show.s  iiroinise  of  being  an  influential  organization.  The  under- 
graduate body,  from  whom  both  the  U.  (".  and  the  Executive  Committee 
derive  their  authority,  sliould  make  certain  that  these  excellent  beginnings 
are  followed  uj)  by  consistently  forceful,  jjositive  acts  of  leadership.

To  ease  ihe  tinancial  slraiii  on  under-

collejje  fees  will  be  slashed  bv  more  than

If,  during;  the  period  of  the  war,  the

administration  is  prepared  under  all

SCHUMAN 


(Continued  from  page  1) 
aggression  pact  with  Ciermany  last  June 
would  probably  foretell  an  invasion  of  that 
state  if  Hitler's  general  stafT  found  it 
advisable. 

I'illing  back  in  his  swivel  chair,  No.  3 
Dewey  House,  Mr.  Schuman  goes  on  to 
reveal  his  expectations  as  to  the  third 
member  of  the  Axis.  "It  is  unlikely  that 
the  next  Japanese  move  will  be  an  all-out 
attack  on  Auslralia,  ralhei-  it  will  be  a 
drive  on  India  to  make  a  junction  wilh 
Hitler."  Although  he  makes  no  pre- 
dictions about  Axis  success  in  Ihe  Medi- 
lerraneaii  area,  I'rofcs.sor  .Schuman  fore- 
casts that  Ihe  "Japs  will  he  at  the  gates  of 
Calcutta  by  the  first  of  May." 

'I'urning  to  the  Russian  front,  Mr. 
.Schuman  declares,  "To  remove  the  danger 
of  a  succi'ssfnl  Gcrnian  counter-attack, 
Russia  must,  in  the  next  six  weeks,  gain 
control  of  Ihe  Leningrail,  .Smolensk,  and 
Kharkov  regions — I  think  Ihe  Red  Army 
will  do  it."  Continuing  in  his  character- 
istic precise  maimer  of  speech,  he  says,"We 
alwa\s  come  back  lo  the  fact  that  the  long- 
run  chances  of  the  .Allies  depend  primarily 
on  Russia's  holding  oul  I  his  year.  If 
I  hey  don't,  the  cost  of  winning  in  terms  of 
tinie,  n«)ney,  and  blood  would  be  so 
enormous  as  to  be  bev'oiid  realization." 
Mr.  Schuman's  llKuighlson  Ihe  current 
"tloniinion  stains  for  India"  question  are 
f  a  pessimistic  nature,  lie  asserts  that 
promises  won't  sulVice.  He  suggests  that 
ihe  sending  of  Sir  SlalTord  Cripps  to  India 
foretells  many  months  spent  in  discussion 
lo  iron  out  (liiricullies — time  that  should 
have  been  speiil  before,  when  Britain 
could  afTord  it.

A  YEAR  AGO  companies  in  the  New  £ngland  Power  system,  in  outlining 
their  policy  of  preparedness  as  a  part  of  the  country's  National  Defense 
program,  placed  particular  emphasis  upon  the  important  part  employees 
would  play  in  this  patriotic  effort. 

THIS  VEAR,  with  eighteen  or  twenty  men  needed  in  defense  industries  lo 
bact  up  each  fighting  man  in  Uncle  Sam's  forces  and  with  our  country  in  a 

late    of   wai    against   ruthless  and  treacherous  aggressors,  we  have  a  deep 

alisfaction  in  knowinq  that  — 

1.  Our  employees  are  skilliul, well-trained  men  and  women, many  of 
whom  have  spent  the  greater  part  of  iheii  lives  in  our  service. 

2.  Our  employees  know  their  jobs  thoroughly  and  have  a  deep 
sense  of  responsibility  as  to  their  carts  in  the  National 
Defense  Program. 

3.  The  physical  properties  these  employees  operate  are  in 
good  order. 

4.  Our  employees,  as  soldiers  of  industry,  have  a  vitally  important 
job  in  supplying  indispensable  materials  to  the  armed  forces 
of  our  country. 

As  their  modest  contribution  in  an  America  that  is  united  and 
determined,  our  employees  dedicate  their  every  effort  to  the 
oreservation  of  the  ideals  of  this  grea'  o'emocracyl

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY,  MARCH   13,  1942 


Brown  Misses  Ski 
Title  by  .6  Margin 

Eph  Skier  Leads  Barber 
in  Three  Events,  Then 
Falters    in    Vital    Jump 

Cli^laxin^  l\v(i  ytars  of  Viirsity  skiing 
last  wci-kciul,  junior  Dave  Brown  barely 
missed  briiininR  back  to  Williams  the 
joint  national  and  Eastern  four-event 
skiinj;  championship  title  from  Lanconia- 
Guilfnrd,  N.  H.  Brown,  who  has  eon- 
sislently  cli:ill<i-il  up  points  for  th(>  Eph 
ti'ani  ill  varsity  competition,  lost  to 
Norwich  I'niversity's  ace  Mizzey  Barher 
by  the  discouraKin^;ly  slim  margin  of  six 
tenths  of  a  point. 

Leads  until  Jump 

In  the  three  events  preceding  the  jump. 
Brown  raced  home  to  lake  third  in  the 
slalom,  third  in  ihe  cross-country,  and 
second  in  the  downhill.  At  this  point  the 
stocky  Williams  star  held  a  nine-point 
edge  on  his  closest  competitor,  but  in  the 
jumping  that  followed,  he  had  to  concede 
defeat  to  Barber. 

Accustomed  to  the  30-meter  Sheep  Hill 
jump,  Brown  experienced  difficulty  in 
adjusting  hinisedf  to  the  60-meter  tower  at 
Laconia-Cjuilford.  His  first  take-ofT  was 
good  lor  49  metres,  but  on  the  second  and 
crucial  leap,  he  faltered  and  marked  up 
only  41.  This  second  jump  probably  cost 
him  the  meet,  as  Harlier,  who  is  a  nation- 
ally known  jumper,  took  first  place  to  his 
eighth. 

Brown's  versatility  has  made  him  a 
consistent  scorer  throughout  the  skiing 
season,  and  he  has  amassed  more  points 
in  competitive  contests  than  any  other 
member  of  the  varsity  squad.

Visiting     Girl     Shines     As 
Outstanding         Speaker 

Last  .Siturday,  the  .\delpliic  Union, 
Williams'  debating  society,  unexpectedly 
captured  top  honors  in  a  tourney  held  here 
between  Dartmouth,  Wellesli'y,  and  Wil- 
liams. 'This  was  the  largest  scheduled 
debating  event  planned  for  the  Adelphic 
I'nion  this  semester. 

The  events  included  a  round  robin 
dclrate  in  the  afternoon  on  the  question, 
ResoK'i'd:  that  the  democracies  should 
form  a  confederation  to  estalilish  and 
maintain  the  eight  Churchill-Roosevelt 
principles,  and  a  round  table  discussion 
of  the  .same  topic  in  the  evening  in  the 
Garfield  I'liib. 

Each  college  debated  twice  in  the  after- 
noon taking  both  the  afTirmative  and 
negative  sides.  Williams,  represented  by 
Joseph  F.  Harvey  '43  and  Paul  L.  Kolins- 
tamm  '44  won  when  defending  the  nega- 
tive as  did  both  other  teams. 

During  the  e\ening  nnmd  table,  Thomas 
S.  Walsh  and  Frank  M.  Wozencraft  '44, 
defended  the  neg.itive  side  for  Williams 
defeating  Wellesley.  Professor  Charles 
R.  Keller  was  chairman. 

At  the  end  of  the  day's  activities 
Marguerite  Tattim,  a  \\Tllesle\-  freshman, 
was  awarded  first  prize  as  the  outstanding 
speaker  of  the  day  while  Wozencraft  took 
second  place.

'Waging  the  War  —  Winning  the  Peace' 

The  Fourth  .Vninial  Spriiij;  Conference  promises  to  he  even  more 
significant  and  enliglilening  than  it.s  predeccs.sor.s.  The  Williams  Lecture 
Committee  is  entit  led  to  the  gratitude  of  the  campus  community  for  bring- 
ing In  Williamslowii  such  a  distingiii.slied  groii])  of  speaker.s,  and  for 
arranging  a  iirogram  dealing  with  the  vital  (picstions  of  the  moment. 
Everyone  .should  avail  himself  of  this  oijportunity  to  the  best  of  his  ability, 

Richard  A.   Neulmll 

Chairman  of  the  Faciilly 


A  Series  for  Underclassmen 

Heginniiig  with  this  issue,  Tuk  Rkcoud  will  publish  a  .series  of 
articles  on  the  curriculum  designed  .s])ecifically  to  aid  freshmen  and 
sophomores  in  .selecting  courses  and  majors.  This  series  will  evaluate 
the  ((uality  of  instruction  offered  by  each  department,  and  will  comment 
on  the  strength  and  weakness  of  .sequence  courses  from  a  strictly  under- 
graduate point  of  view.  Today's  article  on  page  three  rei)orls  the 
o])inions  which  men  majoring  in  history  have  expressed  concerning  their 
field  of  concentration. 

The  editors  of  The  Rkcoud  a.s.sume  full  responsibility  for  the  views 
pul)liei/ed  in  this  .s<-ries.  The  material  utilized  in  the  articles  comes 
from  interviews  with  responsible  undergrachiates  who  have  taken  the 
courses  they  are  asked  to  evaluate.  Freshmen  and  .sophomores  arc 
advised  to  eonsull  the  College  Catalogue  now  on  hand  at  the  Dean's 
Office  and  to  see  their  faculty  advisers  for  official  remarks  on  the  cur- 
riculum. I'lidergradiiatcs  or  faculty  members  who  wish  lo  comment 
on  any  I)arl  of  this  series  are  urged  to  write  the  editors. 

These  articles  have  a  fourfold  pjirjjo.se:  1)  to  stir  ii])  underclass  interest 
ill  all  |)hases  of  the  W^illiams  curriculum,  and  to  start  freshmen  an<l 
sophomores  thinking  about  the  cour.ses  they  wi.sh  to  take  next  .semester; 
2)  to  give  various  students  a  method  for  registering  their  di.saijproval  of  a 
course  without  resorting  to  cutting;  3)  to  ])rc.sent  faculty  members  with 
student  opinions  on  their  cour.ses  and  on  their  methods  of  instruction; 
and  t)  to  air  all  curricular  iirohlenis  and  lo  ])iiblish  all  constructive 
.solutions  to  those  problems  at  a  time  when  war  is  challenging  the  Williams 
liberal  arts  tradition. 

The  editors  hoiie  this  fourfold  purijo.se  will  result  in  an  increa.sed 
studenl  awareness  of  the  imi)ortaiice  of  liberal  arts  during  wartime,  and 
ill  an  active,  campus-wide  effort  to  continue  the  constructive  progress 
which  has  won  for  the  Williams  curriculum  its  present  strength  an<l  rep 
Illation.

Thurman  Arnold  Blasts 
Fear  of  Overproduction 

Trust    Buster    Sees    New, 
Advanced        Technology 

The  full  production  caused  by  this  war, 
provided  it  is  not  concentrated  in  a  few 
hands,  may  solve  not  only  our  monopoly 
problem,  but  also  the  difficulties  of  our 
entire  economy.  This  was  the  verdict 
set  down  by  self-styled  "optimist"  Thur- 
man Arnold,  assistant  attorney  general  of 
the  United  States,  in  Chapin  Hall  -Sunday. 

"Industrialists,"  the  I'lery  trust-buster 
emphasized,  "are  afraid  to  expand  now 
because  of  threatened  overproduction  and 
new  competition  later.  Each  powerful 
organization  in  our  economy  is  laying  its 
plans  for  preservation  in  an  effort  to  build 
a  Magiiiol  l.inc  against  the  'inevitable' 
post-war  depression." 

Arnolel  pointed  out  that  monopolies 
holding  patent  licenses  have  denied  use  of 
their  rights  by  other  firms  despite  a  des- 
perate need  for  expanding  their  products. 
The  zinc  monopoly,  he  stressed,  has  re- 
fused to  license  new  firms  unless  they  agree 
to  go  out  of  business  after  the  war. 

But,  he  said,  if  defense  contracts  are 
split  up,  and  if  economic  power  is  not 
concentrated  in  (he  hands  of  the  trusts, 
competition  will  continue  after  the  war 
and  the  stage  will  be  set  for  a  new,  more 
advanced  economy, 

"We  must,"  he  concluded,  "fight  for 
our  economy,  and  not  merely  against 
Germany,  Italy  and  Japan.  And  in  order 
to  fight  for  il,  we  must  first  believe  in  it."

hung  in  the  library-lounge  of  the  Adams 
Memorial  Theatre  several  original 
sketches  by  distinguished  contemporary 
American  slagi'  designers,  t!he  President's 
Office  revealed  today.  'The  collection 
includes  the  costume  design  for  Horatio 
ill  Ihiintel  and  for  Lady  Capulet  in  Romeo 
and  Juliet,  lioth  done  by  Jo  Mielziner;  the 
stage  design  for  Corncille's  Le  Cid  by 
Donald  Oenslager;  and  the  stage  design

Upset  by  Reid  of  Amherst,  Sam  Bacon 
lost  his  New  England  Intercollegiate 
Swimming  440-yard  championship  in 
Pratt  Pool  last  Saturda>'  but  placed 
second  and  third  in  the  440  and  220. 
Ernie  Selvage,  the  other  Purple  tankman 
to  qualify  for  the  finals,  took  fourth  behind 
Springfield's  NEI  diving  champions. 


Bob  Hcndrie,  Bill  Schmidt  and  Tod 
Hunt,  second,  third  and  seventh  seeded 
respectively,  paced  the  way  into  the 
quarter-final  round  of  the  college  squash 
singles  championship  this  week,  while 
Dude  Hemphill,  defending  champion  and 
first-seeded,  has  yet  to  face  Yat  Van  Mes- 
dag  in  the  fourth  round. 


Malcolm  D.  Clark  '43,  Gul  editor, 
announced  this  week,  that  the  yearlwok, 
due  for  distribution  in  April,  has  already 
gone  to  press.  The  book,  streamlined  and 
condensed,  will  feature  composite  pic- 
tures, compressed  senior  listing,  thirty 
instead  of  the  usual  twelve  faculty  in- 
formals,  and  will  all  be  enclosed  in  a  new 
cover,  designed  on  a  war  motif, 


The  necessity  for  a  twenty-four  hour

(See  PARAGRAPHS  page  4) 


For  vears,  tclepluuic  eahle  lias  been  hung  by  sliff  wire  rings 
from  its  supporling  slrantl.  But  repealed  cx|)ansion  antl  con- 
traction caused  by  temperature  change.^  sometimes  proved 
too  much  for  even  the  best  eabh'  sheath.  Fatigue  cracka 
developed  near  the  poles  —  this  meant  leaks — possible  ser- 
vice iiUerru|)lions — expensive  repairs. 

Reeeully,  men  of  the  Bell  System  developed  a  machine 
that  lashes  the  cable  and  strand  together  in  such  a  way  that 
the  concentration  of  strains  near  the  poles  is  minimized. 
The  Cable  Lasher  has  also  proved  a  {;rcal  aid  in  the  speedy 
inslallalion  of  some  of  the  new  cables  needed  for  airfields, 
camps,  bases  and  war  factories. 

There  arc  many  opportunities  in  the  Bell  System  for  men 
with  the  urge  —  and  the  ability  —  to  do  a  job  better  than  it 
has  ever  been  done  before.

ilrpartment  to  concentrate  as  manv 
(sperienced  men  as  p.issilile  in  the  intro- 


ductory courses  to  relieve  the  dryness  of 
the  1-2  material.

History  1-2,  la-2a 

History  1-2  is  essentialh  a  factual 
memory  course  which  lays  the  foundation 
for  the  histor\-  major.  Although  the 
material  is  not  stimulalinK.  it  does  pro- 
vide a  solid  foundation  foradvancedstudv, 
and  this  broad  backjjround  is  also  valuable 
in  other  courses  outside  the  hislor\-  major. 
The  period  covered  is  so  extremeh-  long 
that  the  total  knowledge  retained  is 
neces.sarily  sparse  and  often  e.inluserl  In 
seemingly  unrelated   details. 

The  conferences  are  apt  to  be  dull, 
though  the\-  var\'  with  the  instructor, 
Buffinton  being  specially  reconinunded 
in  1-2,  and  Johnson  in  la-2a.  In  spite 
of  their  general  uni)opularit\-,  the  regular 
police  (juizses  are  valuable  asadisciplinary 
measure  to  insure  the  c;insistent  reading 
of  the  assignments  so  necessarx'  in  dis- 
cussion courses.  The  infrec|Uent  lectures 
are  of  dubious  value,  seem   unrelated   to

the  suliject   matter,  and  are  seldiim   dis- 
cussed in  conference  sections. 

In  History  1-2  Hayes  is  used  as  the 
onl\-  text;  the  reading  is  uninterestinj;, 
with  too  little  emphasis  on  cultural  and 
philosophical  trends.  Kor  this  reason 
students  are  ur(,'ed  to  take  la-2a,  where 
the  readinjj  is  more  diversified,  and  the 
course  "more  advanced  in  method  and 
treatment."  Kven  in  la-2a,  however, 
there  is  considerahle  concentration  on  a 
few  books,  and  Hazen,  which  is  used  dur- 
ins;  the  second  semester,  is  an  outjiioded 
text  written  before  World  War  I.  Kir- 
ticularly  x.iluable  in  both  courses  is  the 
emphasis  on  map  exercises,  but  in  both 
1-2  and  la-2a  the  outside  readin(<  is  loo 
detailed  and  specific  for  ,so  broad  a  course. 
It  seems  unrelated  to  class  work,  and  the 
onl\'  discussion  on  it  is  C(nitainetl  in  the 
final  examination. 

'Most  Valuable  Course' 

'J'liese  weaknesses  are  parlicniarly  an- 
fortunate  in  un  introductory  course,  such 
as  liistory  1-2  or  la-2a,  hecause  they  may 
iliscoura«e  students  from  pursuinn  advanced 
work  in  this  department,  which  is  generally 
so  excellent. 

X'oted  bj'  the  class  (jf  1941  the  most 
valuable  course  in  college.  History  3-4  is 
the  re(|uired  parallel  in  the  history  major. 
Keller  and  Johnson  are  extremely 
interested  in  making  the  presentation  of 
the  C(»urse  as  effectix'e  as  possible,  and 
are  continually  sampling  student  opinion 
to  provide  a  basis  for  intelligent  revision. 

Acting  on  the  educational  principle  of 
"rethinking"  a  course  from  year  to  \ear, 
they  ha\'e  recently  reorganized  the  whole 
study  of  American  History  around  the 
pivotal  years  of  1876,  I'JOf),  1914-18,  and 
1020,  instead  of  following  the  convi'iitional 
chronological  seciuence. 

On  the  basis  of  this  plan  the  lectures, 
which  are  lively  and  to  the  point,  are 
descriptive  previews  of  the  material  to  be 
developed  in  detail  by  the  reading. 
.Some  students  feel  that  the  lectures 
follow  the  reading  too  closely,  and  suggest 
that  they  shcjuld  complement  the  texts 
rather  than  duplicate  them.  The  reading 
is  essentially  an  explanation  of  the  causes 
behind  the  facts  des:;ribed  in  the  lectures. 
The  texts,  especialh'  Morison  and  Com- 
mager,  are.stinnilaling,  though  Schlesinger 
is  weak  on  the  World  War.  The  con- 
ference discussions  are  valuable  as  a  means 
of  correlating  the  reading  and  the  lectures. 

One  of  the  most  popular  features  (if 
History  3-4  in  the  past  has  been  the  cjut- 
siile  reading,  where  students  are  permitted 
a  wide  choice  of  books,  and  urgeil  to 
cNcrcise  individual  initiative  and  original 
thought  on  their  retpiired  papers.  These 
papers,  a  \aluable  learning  device,  are 
detailed   supplements  to  the  class  study. 

Keller  and  Johnson  are  more  interested 
in  understanding  history  than  in  predict- 
ing the  future.  Their  material  is  par- 
ticularh' timely,  and  they  teach  America's 
past  relations  with  Japan,  Great  Britain, 
and  Germany  in  such  a  wa\  that  the  stu- 
dent can  comprehenil  present  dcvelop- 
jnents. 

Johnson  reputedly  marks  a  tirade  harder 
than  Keller;  some  students  think  he  is  the 
sliffesl  marker '  in  college.  The  relations 
between  both  men  and  their  .students  are 
excellent,  and  students  feel  free  to  call  on 
either  one  at  any  lime  to  discuss  their  work. 
History  5-6 

History  S-6,   England   and   the   British 
Empire  (1485-1874),  given  by  Buffinton, 
provides  some  scope  for  individual  origin- 
ality, which  compensates  for  the  dryness

Spring  Vacation  this  year  is  BE-

TIRES-WEEK — in  other  words,  go 
home  by  Greyhound.  It's  your

in  higher  mathematics  to  figure  out 
you're  way  ahead  at  Greyhound's  low 
fares.  The  schedules  are  convenient 
— the  deep-cushioned  seats  are  as 
rest-provoking  as  a  dull  lecture — and 
the  crowd's  sure  to  be  a  lot  of  fun. 
Yes,  sir,  the  right  start  for  this

of  the  subject  mailer.  The  conferences 
and  discu.ssioiis  are  adei|uale,  though  not 
overly  stimulating.  They  serve  generally 
as  resumes  of  the  material  presented  in  the 
lectures,  which  are  exireniely  well  organiz- 
ed, clear,  and  relevant.  Usually  three 
papeis  on  biographical  material  are  re- 
(|uire<l  in  which  tile  student  is  allowed  a 
wide  choice  of  topics. 

.Assignments  are,  as  in  most  advanced 
history  courses,  Icnig  and  the  te.xts  em- 
ployed are  rather  ponderous,  bul  the 
course  is  particularh  timely  and  perlineiit 
loda\  because  it  deals  ciauprehensiveh' 
with  the  birth  anil  causal  dexclopment  of 
tile   British    Faiifiire. 

History  19-20 

History  l9-i(l  is  a  uni(|ue  course  deal- 
ing with  "types  of  re\-olutionary  and 
e\olutionary  transformation",  and  par- 
ticularly under  Xewhall  the  broad  general 
concepts  are  einphasi/ed  to  good  advan- 
tage. Conducted  entirely  in  conferences, 
the  discussions  occasioiialh'  tend  tt)  be- 
come bogged  down  in  details,  but  the 
general  emphasis  on  causal  factors  pro- 
vides a  good  tie-in  with  the  rest  of  the 
major.  It  is  a  course  demanding  ad- 
vanced thinking  and  it  provides  scope  for 
inilividual  effort  and  original  thought, 
particularh'   in  the  required  papers.

4  Men  Will  Camp-Out 
on  Air  Field  To  Form 
12-Hour  Air-Raid  Patrol 

With  all  p(jssil)ilitics  for  spring;  air 
ailivilios  tjroundcd  liy  official  red-tape, 
I  he  Williams  FlyiiiK  Club  has  dfcidcd  t(i 
l"i~(p(mi'  operalions  until  the  .sumiiier 
.  ->iiin  in  June.  Charles  G.  .Ahbotl  '43, 
.'nil  president,  declared  \Vednes<lay  that 
Mr.  T.  A.  Davis  of  the  Civil  Aeronautics 
Xcuhority  in  Albany  .N.  Y.,  had  ordered 
ill.  lield  closed  until  proper  licensing  was 
-.  cured. 

Appealed  to  C.  A.  A. 

Nnlilied  on  l"eliriiar\'  KS  that  the  coni- 
III.  reial  license  under  which  Cole  Field 
|irrales  wouUI  be  invalid  until  a  24-hour 
.:ined  watQh  was  placed  on  the  planes, 
\Mmtt  appealed  to  the  C.  A.  A.  to  recoR- 
:  !  r  Donald  Cole,  manager  of  the  field  and 
ri-ideiit  owner  of  the  property,  as  a  lej;al 
iiiiard.  This  failed  to  solve  the  nij,dit- 
'>.urh  re(|uirenient,  and  was  turned  down. 

rile  next  plan  which  the  Club  devised 
M.is  to  ask  the  C(i-o|)eration  of  l.ouis  K. 
i;,i>s,  and  his  air-raid  spoilers  in  iiinvinK 
ill.  ir  hea(l(|uarters  from  Northwest  hill  In 
(  ole  air-held.  The  cost  of  hiring  a  full- 
lime  watch  beini;  prohibitive  to  the  clul) 
treasury,  it  was  hoped  that  the  201)  local 
townsmen  who  have  volunteered  for  this 
defense  spotting  would  accomplish  a 
'I'luble  purpo.se. 

Air  Corps  Blocks  Move 

However,  the  army  air  corps  (iHirials 
icfused  permission  to  nio\e  the  head- 
ipiarters.  Cnder  Iheir  supirvision,  the 
entire  eastern  .seaboard  .500  miles  inland, 
has  been  divided  into  6-niile  e(|ui-(li.stant 
nlots.  which  are  nuarded  day  and  niiihl  by 
I  he  \dlunteer  spotters.  The\-  argued  that 
.dlerinj;  the  base  of  o|M'rations  by  mure 
than  J  of  a  mile  would  throw  ofY  the 
iiialheniatical  web  of  their  defense  plan. 

I'ndaunted,  the  club  members  examined 
I  he  possibility  of  basing  the  planes  at 
I  roy  N.  Y.  airport  and  comniulint! 
Iietween  Willianistown  and  Trin'  several 
times  per  week.  This  seemed  feasible, 
l■^pecially  in  the  summer-time  when  tlyinK 
iiiilil  «;.«)  is  possible.  However.  C.  A.  A. 
I'nulations  demandiny;  a  two-way  radio 
(S.iOO)  in  every  plane  doing  cross-country 
d\inR,  poor  train  connections,  ami  the 
111  w  limitations  on  auto  tires  have  eliniin- 
■iii'd  this  proposal. 

Pup-Tent  Watch  Established 

The  decisive  action  which  was  <letor- 
iiiined  this  week  was  to  base  the  planes  at 
I  roy  until  June.  At  that  time  an  as  yet 
'"iiiamed  group  of  four  men,  including 
Mibott,  will  volunteer  to  live  in  pup-tents

Grand  Strategy  For  Allied  Nations 
Seen  As  1942  Offensive  Action 

Spring  Conference  Demands  Effective 
Leaders  for  Production  Initiative 

by  S.\M  HiNTKit  '11 
The  score  of  national  figures  highlighliiif!;  lii.st  weckeiid's  Spring  Con- 
rerciicf  on  "A  (iranii  Stralcf,'y  for  America"  reflecled  tlie  .spirit  of  tiio 
aroti.setl  and  iiiipatioiit  pi-ople.s  of  tlic  Uniled  Xation.s  who  are  today  df- 
niandiiig  a  bold  and  dynamic  leadcr.ship  that  will  sweep  away  the  la.st 
col)wel).s  of  "business  as  usual"  in  high  places  and  will  carry  the  fight 
into  the  enemy  cam]). 

Tlic  growing  militancy  of  spirit  of  a  |)c()i)lc  who  have  for  more  than 
two  years  borne  passively  the  succession  of  deliiying  actions  and  .strategic 
withdrawals  that  have  punctuated  the  war  effort  of  the  anti-Axis  coalition 
exploded  at  la.st  weekend's  two-day  parley  into  an  urgent  demand  for  a 
I'evoJution  in  the  American  and  Allied  gland  strategy  that  would  involve 
a  seizure  of  the  initiative  on  the  military,  economic,  and  ideological  fronts. 
I  'True  War  of  Coalition' 

On  the  military  front,  conference  sentiment  favored  an  integration 
Jand  coordination  of  the  Ignited  Nations'  war  effort  for  waging  globid 
I  warfare.  Max  Werner,  military  expert  for  tlie  Nvu  Republic,  ex])ressed 
majority  feeling  when  he  called  for  an  allied  strategy  of  .swift  offen.sivc 
in  a  "true  war  of  coalition"  with  an  Anglo-American  drive  clearing  the 
.\llantic  and  <)|)ening  a  second  front  on  the  contineul  to  divert  (ierman 
for<'es  in  Russia  and  to  relea.se  the  "frozen"  Rii.ssian  Far  J]a.stern  army  for 
iO])erati()ns  again.st  the  Jiipanese  in  the  Pacific  theater. 

The  economic  imperatives  of  victory  formulated  by  the  ])roduction 
|)anel  demanded  the  re()lacement  of  the  deadwood  still  in  top  po.st.s  of  the 
;  Washington  war  organization  by  a  leadership  with  the  courage  to  make 
I  (h'cision.s  and  the  resolution  to  carry  them  out  at  whatever  co.st  to  s|)ecial 
interests,  a  leadershii)  that  would  not  be  reluctant  to  develop  and  ad- 
niiiii.sler  an  uncompromising  program  for  mobilizing  and  converting 
.\merioaii  inilti.strial  ])otenlial  to  the  titanic  job  of  winning  the  war  of 
production. 

Need  For  War  Aims 
And   on  the  ideologictil   front  conference  speakers  agreed   that    the 
crying  need  was  for  the  formulation  and  exjn'ession  on  the  part  of  the

Johnson  To  Head 
Russian  War  Relief 

Committee  Sends  Food, 
Medicine  To  Help  Reds 
in  Crushing  Nazi  Power 

In  an  attempt  to  assist  the  Russian 
people  and  to  develop  better  relations 
between  this  country  and  the  |i.S.SK,  local 
townspeople  and  faculty  memtiers  have 
formed  a  committee  of  Russian  War 
Relief,  Inc.  Dr.  James  P.  Baxter,  3rd, 
liresident  of  Williams  Colle>;e,  has  accepted 
the  honorary  chairmanship  of  the  com- 
mittee while  chairman  of  the  local  coni- 
niittce  is  Joseph  E.  Johnson  associate 
professor  of  history.  Those  who  thus  far 
have  been  appointed  to  the  committee 
from  Williamstown  arc  Nelson  W.  Domin, 
treasurer;  Mrs.  James  B.  Pratt,  Mrs.  Roy 
Lamson,  Jr.,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Allison, 
Mrs.  S.  Lane  F"aison,  Elmer  G.  Noble,  Rev. 
K.  B.  Blakeney,  Mrs.  Max  Lcrncr,  Mrs. 
Lawrence  H.  Blocdel,  James  M.  Burns, 
Charles  R.  Keller,  and  Frederick  R. 
Barnes  '43,  the  only  undergraduate 
representative. 

Transportation  Free 

Russian  War  Relief,  Inc.,  is  a  nation- 
wide agency  created  to  assist  the  Russian 
people  in  their  resistance  to  the  Nazi 
invaders,  by  sending  them  essential  arti- 
cles which  they  greatly  need,  such  as 
medical  supplies  and  instruments,  food 
concentrates  anil  clothing.  Transporta- 
tion is  provided  without  cost  to  the  com- 
mittee and  with  the  full  cooperation  of  the 
United  States  shipping  authorities. 

A  secondary  goal  of  the  association  is 
to  bring  about  better  understanding 
between  Americans  and  Russians,  both 
for  the  more  effective  prosecution  of  the 
war  and  for  better  post-war  relationships. 
The  formation  of  the  committee  comes  at 
a  particularly  appropriate  time,  in  view  of 
the  stress  last  weekend's  conference  at 
Williams  placed  on  the  necessity  of  under- 
standing Russia  and  living  with  the  USSR. 

Among  the  well-known  sponsors  and 
endorsers  of  Russian  War  Relief,  of  which 
Dr.  Serge  Koussevitsky  is  honorary  chair- 
man in  Massachusetts,  are  Rev.  Henry 
Sloanc  Coffin,  Dr.  Hugh  Cabot,  Dean 
Willard  1.  Sperry,  Prof.  Ralph  Barton 
(Sn  relief  pxe  4) 


would  serve  to  energize  mass  participation 
in  the  conduct  of  the  war  at  home  and 
would  give  to  the  conquered  [leoples  of 
the  world  a  stake  in  the  future. 

There  was  disagreement  among  con- 
ference speakers  on  the  procedure  of 
certain  aspects  of  grand  strategy  which 
at  times  flared  into  open  controversy. 
Rene  Kraus,  jjersistent  biographer  of 
Churchill,  took  almost  violent  exception 
to  Mussolini-hating,  vigorously  democratic 
(jaetano  .Salvcmini,  when  he  declarated 
that  the  British  Tories  were  still  bungling 
the  job  of  propaganda  in  Italy  and  playing 
into  blackshirt  hands. 

President  James  P.  Baxter,  ird,  and 
plane  designer  Major  Alexander  de 
Sevcrsky  cautioned  Max  Werner  for  his 
excessive  optimism  over  the  possibilities 
of  a  1942  allied  offensive  and  warned 
against  "premature"  military  action. 
Kconomist  Robert  K.  Lamb  and  presi- 
dential Adviser  Lauchlin  Currie  locked 
horns  briefly  at  the  production  panel 
over  the  problem  of  conversion  and  sub- 
contracting. 

Conferees  Optimistic 

But  the  disagreements  were  only  nom- 
inal. Never  in  the  brief  history  of  the 
Williams  spring  conferences  has  there  been 
such  a  declared  unity  of  outlook  among 
participants.  Despite  the  sharp  criticism 
which  speakers  levelled  at  the  multiple 
inadequacies  and  bunglings  in  the  Ameri- 
can war  organization,  there  was  constant 
emphasis  on  the  brighter  side  of  the  war 
picture.  In  his  Saturday  night  address 
Washington  Correspondent  Michael 
Straight  pointed  out  the  great  strides 
which  America  has  made  during  the  last 
three  months  towards  converting  her  huge 
civilian  machine  into  a  functioning  war 
machine.  General  Frank  R.  McCoy  and 
Dr.  Baxter  called  for  confidence  in  the 
administration's  ability  to  correct  its  own 
errors  and  solve  the  problenis  of  organiz- 
ing for  total  war.  The  whole  impression

Conway  Ex-  '42  Victim 

Of  German    Torpedo 

Killed  on  March  19,  wdien  the  ship  on 
which  he  was  serving  as  a  United  .States 
.Maritime  Commission  cadet  was  torpe- 
doed by  a  German  submarine  olT  the 
North  Carolina  coast,  Howard  P.  Cimway 
Jr.  ex-'42  was  the  third  Williams  man  to 
lose  his  life  in  World  War  11.  Although 
the  rest  of  the  crew  of  the  tanker  were 
rescued,  Conway  and  the  other  four  men 
in  the  engine  room  were  unable  to  escape. 

Upon  the  death  of  his  fathi'r  in  the 
spring  of  1940,  Conway  left  Williams  at 
the  end  of  his  sophomore  year,  Enlisting 
in  the  \'-7  program,  he  went  to  .'\nnapiilis 
the  following  fall,  where  he  began  a  four- 
months'  training  course,  .'\lthough  he 
failed  to  complete  the  course,  Conway 
joined  the  merchant  marine  about  a  \i'ar 
ago. 

While  at  Williams,  Conway  was  a 
member  of  Alpha  Didta  I'hi,  and  had  been 
appninteil  a  Junior  Advisor  for  1941.  He 
not  onU'  worked  on  the  editorial  boards  of 
bi;th  the  G:i!  ivA  the  !''.i>p!e  C'liic',  but  ab-o 
won  his  numerals  on  the  freshnian  cross- 
coiimr\'  team. 

U.C.  Asks  Increase 
In  War  Curriculum 

Altered  Rushing  Progfram 
Passed;  $100  Limit  Put 
on    House    Party   Bands 

Robert  B.  Kiltredge  '43,  president  of 
the  I'ndergraduate  Council,  announced 
yesterda\'  that  a  |)elition  had  been  sub- 
mitted to  the  administration  asking  that 
more  facilities  be  provided  for  courses 
such  as  Astronomy  4X  in  order  that  all 
undergraduates  who  wish  to  take  these 
courses,  preparatory  to  military  training, 
might  have  the  opportunity. 

He  pointed  out  that  many  students, 
especially  uppercla.ssnien,  who  desire  to 
take  advantage  of  these  new  courses  have 
been  unable  to  do  so. 

Supper  Dates  Abolished 

Kittredge  also  announced  that  the 
rushing  schedule  proposed  by  Arbiter 
Frank  Thonis  '30  and  the  rushing  com- 
mittee last  week  has  been  ijassed  unani- 
mously by  the  U.  C.  The  new  program 
includes  the  abolishing  of  supper  dates, 
the  redticing  of  the  amount  of  money 
spent  for  refreshments,  the  addition  of 
three  dates  (m  Sunday  afternoon  and  the 
limiting  of  prowling  to  two  nights. 

At  the  U.  C.  meeting  this  week,  it  was 
suggested  that  a  ceiling  of  $100  be  placed 
on  the  price  paiil  for  house  party  orches- 
tras no  matter  how  many  houses  combined 
to  pay  for  the  band.  Fraternity  repre- 
sentatives of  the  U.  C.  have  been  in- 
structed to  ask  the  opinion  of  the  their 
houses  as  to  buying  buttons  instead  of 
corsages.  The  money  from  the  sale  of 
button.^  will  be  given  to  the  American  Red 
Cross. 

The  plan,  formulated  by  a  Gargoyle 
committee  headed  by  Charles  H.  Tower 
'42,  to  unite  all  campus  concessions  under 
Albert  V.  Osterhout  '06,  graduate  Mana- 
ger of  Athletics,  was  passed  by  the  U.C, 
and  a  conunittee  has  been  appointed  to 
meet  to  plan  the  organization  with  him. 
M.  Carter  Hall  Jr.  was  appointed  chair- 
man to  be  assisted  by  Spencer  D.  Wright, 
3rd  and  Malcolm  D.  Clark,  '43.

In  order  to  facilitate  enlistment,  and 
also  answer  any  (|ueslions  that  may  arise, 
Archa  ().  Knowlton  '40,  ensign  in  the 
r.  S.  Naval  Reserve,  will  beat  the  Place- 
ment Bureau  next  Friday,  April  3,  all  day, 
with  a  doctor  and  two  assistant.s,  who  will 
give  the  Navy  physical  exam.  In  the 
meanlinie,  further  irformaliim  can  be 
secured  from  William  (j.  Perr> ,  asMstanI 
to  the  Dean. 

1  In  an  earlier  visit  to  tlie  campus  Knsigii 
Knowlton  warned  that  juniors  and  seniors 
wishing  to  sign  up  for  the  V-7  Program, 
should  do  so  as  soon  ;is  possible,  as  enlist- 
ment for  that  branch  of  training  is  to  be 
discontinued  shortly,  being  incorporated 
into  the  V-l  program,  as  <mtlini-d  abii\e. 
He  also  asserted  that  colleges  should 
promote  the  physical  W(dl-l)eing  of  tile 
student,  so  as  to  aid  him  in  passing  the 
required  ph\sical  examinations. 

'AU-Around  Standard'  Desired 
Ranking  the  group  is  done  piiiiiarily  do 
the  basis  of  a  eonipreliensive  ex.iiii  given

year.  In  the  nieanl,imi',  the  Navy  reserves 
the  right  to  approve  a  man's  course  of 
study,  with  particular  emphasis  on  Mathe- 
matics and  Physics.  These  courses,  as 
well  as  others  correlated  to  ihe  V-l  pro- 
gram are  the  ones  that  have  been  pro- 
nounced satisfactorx'.  In  paiticidar,  the 
Nav\'  is  cautioning  colleges  .against  stress-

responsible  survey  of  the  entire  field  of  formal  education  at  Williams  be- 
fore .Vi)ril  6.  In  all  fairness  to  the  departnient.s  which  we  could  not 
cover  l)y  that  date,  we  are  not  releasing  the  six  departmental  surveys 
planned  for  publication  this  week  and  next. 


Waiting  It  Out 

The  conference  is  over.  A  little  less  than  a  year  ago  today,  the  editor 
of  TuK  Recoki),  summing  up  his  reactions  to  last  year's  conference,  called 
for  an  immediate  declaration  of  war.  He  was  echoing  campus  and  con- 
ference sentiment;  he  had  noticed  in  the  conference  sessions  and  in  the 
audience  at  the  parley  "a  determination  to  do  the  job — regardless  of  its 
price  in  blood,  sweat  and  tears — with  the  effort  and  the  precision  we  have 
failed  to  give  in  the  past,  and  with  the  faith  that  goes  with  the  knowledge 
that  we  are  right  and  the  preachers  of  tyranny  wrong." 

It's  a  year  later  now.  The  declaration  of  war  has  come,  in  anstver 
to  as  clear  a  demonstration  as  possible  of  the  challenge  that  the  preachers 
of  tyranny  present.  But  this  weekend's  conference  showed,  with  plenty 
of  force  and  clarity,  that  we  are  still  floundering  in  the  .same  complacency 
and  indecision  that  we  recognized  with  horror  last  spring. 

There  would  be  little  point  in  summarizing  the  conclusions  of  the 
conference  .sessions;  that's  done  on  the  front  page.  We  know  what's 
wrong,  and  we  have  been  told  what  to  do  about  it.  But  it's  one  thing  to 
realize  by  the  cold  light  of  intellect  the  imperatives  of  a  desperate  situa- 
tion, and  another  to  feel  them  in  our  blood  and  in  our  bones.  We  haven't 
yet  come  to  feel,  with  all  we  are,  the  truth  of  what  we  know. 

"How  many  disasters  do  we  need  to  wake  us  up?"  Max  Lerner 
wanted  to  know  when  somebody  suggested  at  one  of  the  sessions  that  all 
we  need  is  a  good  shock.  There  is  the  big  question  that  the  conference 
raised.  And  it  has  not  yet  been  answered.  We  know  we  need  force. 
We  know  We  need  dynamic  leadership.  We  know  wc  need  total  mobiliza- 
tion of  our  men  and  machines  and  minds  and  blood  and  guts.  When 
are  we  going  to  feel  this  need?     Because  we  won't  meet  it  until  we  feel  it. 

We  are  not  going  to  win  this  war  by  waiting  it  out.  We  were  told 
that  again  and  again  last  weekend,  and  we  have  been  told  that  for  weeks 
and  weeks  by  the  press  and  the  President  and  the  people.  But  we  haven't 
much  lime  to  stop  waiting  it  out.  And  if  the  cry  of  "too  little  and  too 
late"  is  not  to  be  rai.sed  for  the  last  despairing  time,  we  mu.st  learn  to  feel 
all  w'e  know  with  all  we  are,  and  fast.

GRAND  STRATEGY 

(Continued  from  page  1} 
tli.it  the  .speakers  left  behind  them  at  the 
close  of  the  two-day  parley  was  their 
deep  and  uniform  faith  in  the  ability  of 
Amerioin  democracy  to  de\elop  the 
leadership  that  will  energize  America's 
war  effort  to  a  victory  teni|)o  and  unleash 
the  irresistable  driving  power  of  the  Ameri- 
can people's  determination  to  win  through. 
This  sense  of  confidence  in  the  future 
was  characteristic  of  the  later  conference 
panels.  The  opening  round  table  on  the 
production  line,  however,  painted  the 
least  reassuring  picture  of  the  session. 
Most  disheartening  to  .seasoned  campus 
observers  was  the  fact  that  the  major 
obstacles  to  an  all-out  war  effort  outlined 
at  the  .Saturday  panel  were  essentially  the 
siime  ones  that  were  recognized  and  de- 
plore:! by  speakers  at  the  1941  conference. 
In  a  war  where  time  is  measured  by  the 
clock,  one  year  has  passed.  And  last 
weeken<r.'i  parley  demonstrated  that  in 
that  year  Anierica  has  failed  to  solve 
fiill>'  problems  that  were  considered  urgent 
even  in  the  halcyon  days  of  1941. 
Complacency  Scored 
Each  speaker  that  rose  to  declare  h 
piece  scored  some  aspect  of  thi^  war 
organiziition  and  made  it  evident  that  the 
same  pattern  of  divided  authority,  short- 
sightedness, complacency  in  high  places, 
procedural  red-tape,  and  half-hearted 
planning  still  characterizes  the  Wash- 
ington war  set-up. 

And  out  of  the  production  panel's  clear 
statement  of  the  need  for  a  coordinated, 
planned  uncompromigingly  administered 
war  effort,  out  of  the  clear  understanding 
and  articulation  of  the  obstacles  which 
have  dogged  the  American  war  of  the 
production  line  came  a  terrible  sense  of 
frustration.  The  unsolved  problems  of 
the  spring  of  1941  were  with  slight 
modifications  the  luisolved  problems  of 


were  running  with  the  enemy. 

'How  Many  Shocks?' 

Max  Lerner  had  his  finger  on  the  pulse 
of  the  conference  when  he  asked,  after 
admitting  his  depression  at  the  black 
picture  which  previous  speakers  on  the 
production  panel  had  painted,  "How- 
many  shocks  must  we  have  before  we 
recognize  the  need  for  organization?" 
The  panel  concluded  with  his  plea  for 
leadership  and  tough-mindedness  on  the 
part  of  administrators.  "The  right  men 
are  not  in  the  right  places."  Lerner  de- 
clared. "Wars  are  won  by  giving  orders. 
We  must  recognize  the  fact  that  the 
market  and  the  competitive  relationships 
of  our  economy  are  out  as  a  way  of  organiz- 
ing for  war.  What  we  need  is  a  group  of 
managers  put  iti  strategic  positions  with 
power  to  commandeer  industry  and  w  ith  a 
willingness  to  use  this  power." 

Michael  Straight  echoed  Lerner's  call 
for  positive  leadership  in  his  formal  address 
Saturday  night  when  he  went  on  record 
in  favor  of  the  establishment  of  a  central- 
ized production  and  supply  council  to 
coordinate  and  direct  the  global  war  effort 
of  the  United  Nations  and  to  assure 
China  and  Russia  the  opportunity  to 
|)articipate  in  vital  decisions  made  by  the 
Anglo-Saxon  command. 

'OHensiva  In   1942' 

The  most  positive  call  for  an  integrated 
United  Nations  war  strategy  to  take  the 
offensive  away  from  the  Axis  came  at  the 
Sunday  morning  RoundTable  on  "AGrand 
Military  Strategy  for  the  United  Nations" 
when  Max  Werner  overrode  more  cautious 
meml>ers  of  the  panel  to  outline  a  strategy 
of  attack  that  could  bring  Hitler  to  his 
knees  before  the  end  of  1942.  "A  united 
combined  strategy  is  the  road  to  victory. 
"Not  only  is  an  Anglo-American  offensive 
in  the  Atlantic  theater  a  military  possi- 
bility, "Werner  declared,  "but  it  is  also 
capable  of  being  realized  in  1942." 
Werner  pointed  out  that  a  continental 


of  from  sixty  to  eighty  divisions,  in  open- 
ing up  a  second  front  on  Hitler's  re.\r. 
would  serve  the  twofold  purpose  of 
diverting  Nazi  pressure  from  the  Russian 
front  and  unfreezing  the  Soviet  Far  East- 
ern army  for  operations  against  Japan. 

fiaxtor  injected  a  note  of  realism  into 
the  discussion  when  he  pointed  out  that 
an  American  AEK  this  summer  was  \ery 
unlikely  since  the  war  department's  figures 
of  Cierman  losses  and  of  the  army  of 
occupation  very  considerably  from 
Werner's,  and  the  general  feeling  in 
Washington  was  that  America  had  not 
yet  developed  sufficient  military  strength 
to  risk  a  spring  or  summer  offensive. 
War  Conditions  Peace 

The  final  round  table  of  the  two-day 
parley  on  "The  Imperatives  of  Demo- 
cratic N'ictory"  struck  an  optimistic 
chord.  There  was  general  agreement  on 
the  need  for  a  positive  declaration  by  the 
United  Nations  of  their  war  and  peace 
aims.  .Schuman  echoed  parley  sentiment 
in  his  statement,  "The  conduct  of  the  war 
and  our  hopes  of  victory  in  the  war  will 
be  largely  conditioned  by  our  program 
for  winning  the  peace."  All  speakers 
mentioned  the  need  for  domestic  and 
international  reorganization  for  victory 
in  the  war  and  in  the  peace. 

James  G.  MacDonald,  head  of  the 
President's  ad\'isory  committee  on  po- 
litical refugees  spoke  for  the  members  of 
the  conference  —  all  sa\e  .Schuman  who 
declared  in  favor  of  "Union  Now" — when 
he  stated,  "Let's  not  build  on  theory. 
Let's  start  with  the  actual  machinery  of 
the  United  Nations  which  the  fire  and 
strain  of  the  war  has  forced  us  to  create  and 
go  on  from  there."  He  warned  against  a 
quick  ratification  of  the  peace  treaty  after 
the  war  and  also  cautioned  against  neglect 
of  Russia  at  the  peace  conference. 

Max  Lerner  wound  up  the  panel  and 
the  two-day  parley  with  an  appeal  for  the 
vigorous  prosecution  of  the  war  to  establish 
President  Roosevelt's  four  freedoms 
throughout  the  world.  He  called  for  "a 
propaganda"  of  the  democratic  "deed" 
to  arouse  the  "frozen  army"  of  the  con- 
quered peoples  of  Europe  and  Asia.  In 
his  concluding  remarks  and  in  answer  to 
the  alleged  exclusiveness  of  .Schuman's 
proposal  for  world  federation  Lerner  de- 
manded American  leadership  in  winning 
the  war  and  winning  the  peace  for  the 
"plain  people  of  the  world."  "The  world 
can't  win  the  future,"  he  asserted,  "unless 
America  takes  the  leadership.  But 
America  cannot  win  the  future  unless  the 
plain  people  of  the  whole  world  win  the 
future."

Voters  Buck  Selectmen 
In  Fiery  Town  Meeting 

Motion  for  More  Police 
Inflames  Opposition 

Williamslinvn  voters  vigorously  defied 
I  he  select  men's  jjrojjosal  to  engage  a  second 
police  officer,  subordinate  to  Chief  Georgi' 
A.  Royal,  last  Tuesday  aflernoim  in  one  of 
the  most  volcanic  town  meetings  in  the 
history  of  Williamstown.  After  thirty 
minutes  of  verbal  fireworks,  the  (|Ueslion 
was  laid  on  the  table,  through  a  motion 
moved  by  former  selectman  Charles  K. 
I'otter,  until  the  next  session. 

In  noisy  reaction  to  the  calling  of  a 
special  meeting  on  a  week-day  afternoon, 
contrary  to  the  night-time  policy  agri'cd 
on  previously,  and  to  the  dismissal  of 
Cary  C.  Northup,  former  Constable, 
the  voters  jumped  to  their  feet,  after 
Chairman  O.  Dixon  Marshall  had  proposed 
lo  increase  the  policing  power  of  Williams- 
lown. 

Marshall  showed  that  Williamstown 
was  woefully  behind  the  average  of  the 
country  in  police  protection.  He  sug- 
gested that  $2,000  be  raised  and  appro- 
priated for  expenses,  including  salary,  of  a 
new  officer  subordinate  to  Chief  Royal, 
who  in  turn  would  he  responsible  to  the 
selectmen.  "The  finance  committee  felt," 
lie  explained,  "and  George  felt  strongly 
al.so  that  he  should  be  given  additional 
assistance,  in  the  absence  of  Mr. 
■^orthup." 

Prominent  among  the  opposition  to  this 
measure  were  Professor  Charles  Grinnn, 
former  selectman  Potter,  who  objected 
successfully  to  Chief  Royal's  taking  the 
floor,  and  L.  G.  Trcadway,  manager  of 
the  Williams  Inn.  Treadw'ay  told  the 
meeting  that  selectmen  could  help  Royal 
with  clerical  work,  and  men  have  already 
been  sworn  in  to  help  him  in  cases  of 
emergency. 


Citizens'  Committee 

Accepts  Student  Gift 

In  a  letter  to  the'  editors  of  Tnio 
Record,  Q.  A.  Shaw  McKean,  chair- 
man of  the  Citizens'  Coirniittee  for 
the  Army  and  Navy,  Inc.,  formally 
acknowledged  the  receipt  of  a  check 
for  $2,=;0.48,  "the  gift  of  the  under- 
graduates of  Williams  College  for 
furnishing  a  d.iy  room  at  either  Camp 
Edwards  or  Fort  Devens." 

The  recreation  room,  financed  by  a 
special  drive  for  funds,  will  be  given 
in  memory  of  Lieut.  Col.  Charles  A 
Whittlesey  '0'.  commander  of  the 
Lest  B.nttalion. 

"The  Con-mittce,"  read  the  letter, 
"wishes  to  thank  you  and  through 
yon,  the  undergraduates  of  Williams 
for  tile  splendidly  generous  (cift  that 
they  have  made." 


The   Williams  Glee   Club   which   will    combine    with    the    Wellealey    Choir 
tomorrow  night   for    a    six-part    program    of    singing    in    Chapin    Hall. 


Required  Athletics 
Still  Unmentioned 

College  is  Silent  as  Yale, 
Harvard,  Princeton  Add 
Final   Touches  to  Plans 

While  Har\ard,  Princeton,  and  Vale 
made  final  preparations  for  putting  into 
effect  their  vigorous  compulsory  athletic 
programs' for  all  classes,  Williams  under- 
graduate opinion,  as  rei)resented  by  a  sur- 
\ey  of  sophomores  last  week,  showed  a 
mounting  a])ai:hy  towards  the  plan. 

Agreeing  that  ])hysical  fitness  is  es- 
sential. cs])ecially  during  wartime,  the 
second-year  men  nonetheless  were  almost 
in  complete  accord  with  the  sophomore 
who  said,  "It's  a  good  thing,  1  suppose, 
but   I'd  cue  hell  out  of  P.T." 

Trustee  Decision  Required 

.As  yet  the  colli'ge  authorities  have  been 
silent  on  the  wartime  sports  program. 
In  three  weeks  the  Hoard  of  Trustees 
again  convenes  and  upon  it  hinges  the 
decision  of  whether  the  Williams  under- 
graduates will  be  required  to  participate 
in  .ithletics  for  the  duration  of  their 
college  careiTs. 

Last  week  Jcdni  Kiernan,  sports editoi  of 
the  New  ^■ork  Times,  cited  the  need  for  a 
compulsory  s|)orts  program  in  eveiy 
college  when  he  quoted  an  article  by  John 
T.  McGovirn,  well-known  sports  official, 
in  the  Cornell  Alumni   News. 

Wrote  Mr.  McGovern,  "The  jouth  of 
America  has  become  ccimpletely  soft. 
That  might  be  all  right  if  we  were  to  be 
left  jilone  in  jjeace.  But  we  are  not  at 
peace.  W^e  are  in  a  war  which,  according 
to  government  speculation,  will  last  eight 
years  or  more.  Our  students  from  sixteen 
years  up  will  be  soldiers.  They  must  be 
excepiicinally  hard  and  fit  to  be  any  good

Large  '45  Turnout 
In  Lacrosse,  Track 

Baseball  Men  Also  Called 
As  Freshmen  Prepare 
for      Spring      Schedules 

Freshman  spring  athletics  officially  got 
under  way  last  week  as  over  two-fifths  of 
the  freshman  class  turned  out  for  pre- 
liminary meetings  in  three  sports. 
Lacrosse  and  track  candidates  have  had 
formal  practice  sessions  but  weather  and 
ground  conditions  have  kept  Coach 
Fielding  Simmons'  baseball  S(|uad  on  the 
sidelines. 

Although  only  one  game  has  been 
scheduled,  with  Deerfield  April  22,  Dick 
Colman  is  putting  the  largest  squad  in 
several  years  through  the  paces  in  an 
effort  to  get  the  yearlings  ready  for  an 
extensive  summer  program.  They  will 
join  the  varsity  in  June  to  tackle  a  heavy 
schedule.  Coach  Colman  feels  that  vigor- 
ous workouts  and  persistent  practice 
now  will  do  much  toward  preparing  the 
men  for  the  faster  varsity  competition. 

The  thirty  man  squad  is  headed  by 
Have  Goodhart,  former  All-New  England 
Interscholastic  second  team  goalit-,  and 
Fred  Scarborcmgh,  Gil  Lefferts  and  Henry 
Toll,  all  from  the  Deerfield  Academj'  club 
that  dealt  last  year's  1944  scpiad  its  onh' 
defeat.  Red  Marshall,  Howell  Noiner 
and  Al  Bonynge  have  also  been  st.indouts 
in  early  drills. 

Little  3  Track  Meet 

The  1945  trackmen,  thirty-eight  strong, 
have  been  limbering  up  cm  the  board 
tracks.  Early  indications  show  a  strong 
running  team  and  a  balanced  group  for  the 
field  events.  With  a  month  <if  practice 
remaining  before  the  Little  Three  meet 
at  Amherst,  April  25,  lOny  Plansky  ex-

Killer  Keller  Prophesies  Disastrous  Year 
In  Store  For  War-Riddled  Faculty  Ball  Club 


"Only  the  world  war  brought  me  back 
1  was  planning  to  hang  up  my  glove  this 
year,"  Charlie  "Killer"  Keller  admitted 
yesterday  as  he  twirled  a  softball  aimlessly 
in  his  left  hand,  while  leafing  through 
some  history  honors  work  with  his  right. 
"I  see  this  as  a  grim  year  for  the  faculty 
ball  club." 

Keller  pointed  out  that  only  four  of  the 
original  team  which  started  out  together 
in  l'),S7  in  the  memorable  D.  U.  clash  arc 
still  idaying.  Shoeless  Joe  Johnson, 
.Shag'em  Harper,  and  Bec-Line  Buffinton 
form  the  (dd-veteran  nucleus  for  this  year's 
team.  In  addition,  Whiff'cm  Wood  and 
Fred  Stocking  arc  the  only  other  rookies 
with  game  experience,  but  the  Killer  de- 
clared that  he  "looked  for  Sweezy, 
Kichline,  and  Fraxer  to  bolster  the  squad." 

"Due  to  the  speed-up  schedule,  we've 
had  to  cancel  our  spring  trip  this  year," 
Keller  sighed,  "but  with  the  summer 
session  things  should  even  themselves  out 
in  the  long  run."  Replacements  look 
doubtful,  especially  for  such  hitters  as 
\inre  Barnett,  Phil  Spiltoire,  and  Bill 
Zabor,  but  Frankie  Thoms  may  be  ready 
for  a  season  wiih  the  "old  men." 

Keller  backed  the  Phi  Delts  as  the  best 
fraternity  ball  club  on  the  campus,  but 
added,  "it's  because  they  never  go  to  class, 
just  play  ball  all  day  behind  their  house. 
That's  doubly  unfair  to  the  faculty." 
George  llussey,  Phi  Delt  twirlcr,  won  the 
vote  of  both  the  Killer  and  Shoeless  Joe 
as  their  choice  for  one  of  the  toughest 
pitchers  they  have  ever  faced.  .\t  this 
point  Keller  became  confidential  and 
whispered,  "You  knort  the  Phi  Delts  did 
bent  us  7-0  last  year." 

He  reailily  admitted  that  it  would  be 
tough  to  win  now  that  Look-tho-Othcr- 


Way  Lanny  Holmes  was  no  longer  um- 
piring, but  termed  "nasty  rumors"  all 
reports  that  the  base  paths  would  be 
shortened,  the  mound  moved  back,  and  a 
larger  ball  used  when  the  faculty  came  to 
bat.  "We'll  meet  the  students  on  their 
own  terms  with  their  own  weapons," 
Killer  Keller  stoutly  yoiceri. 

"Of  course,  I'll  need  some  special 
attention  from  Herhy  (official  collCjic 
trainer),  now  that  he  doesn't  have  Spauld- 
ing  to  work  over  anymore,  "Keller  nuiscd, 
"but  I  pitched  twenty  games  last  year, 
and  1  guess  I'll  be  good  for  a  longer  seasnn 
this  year.  Besides,  I've  ne\'er  been  re- 
lieved in  a  hall  game  in  all  the  five  years 
the  faculty's  been  playing."

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY.  MARCH  27.   1942 


S.A.C.  Bookstore  Report  Refutes  Criticism 
That  Charges  Are  Excessive,  Refunds  Low 


Criticism  of  nuiiu  uiKlrr^riuliiatrs  that 
Williams  StiuliMU  Hookstore  prices  arc 
"excessive"  and  refunds  on  s<'conil-haiul 
hooks  "inexcusably  low"  were  blasted  in 
the  annual  re|X)rt  of  the  Hookstore  Com- 
mittee of  the  Student  Activities  Council 
released  jesterdav. 

The  report  pointed  out  that  the  avera^je 
net  profit  on  new  hooks  (about  10','c)  is 
consumed  by  iiverhea.l  expenses,  and  thai 
while  prices  paid  for  second-hand  books 
are  as  a  ride  i\ot  over  50','  of  the  original 


Collecting  Bills  Hardest 

The  iob  of  colleclinu  bills  remains  the 
greatest  si'iglc  problem  of  the  store. 
Largely  due  to  work  of  conipeis.  oilt- 
stiuidi'iij  bills  were  reduced  to  a  point  as 
iotv  as  thev  have  been  in  years  shortly 
iH'fore  mid-years,  but  he, ivy  husincss  .it

second-hand  nititerial  which  will  not  be 
used  again  during  the  ne.vt  year  has,  of 
necissity,  been  retained.  Where  there  is 
some  quesiion  as  to  whether  the  book  will

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  MARCH  27,  1942 


Straight  Stresses  Role  of  College  Student 
In  Wartime,  Urges  National  Organization 


by  Gkoiicik  Y.  Nkhhiias  '44 

"College  students  must  fight  for  what 
they  see  to  be  the  right  path,  they  must 
light  for  closer  collaboration  between  the 
Allies  if  they  believe  in  it,  and  if  they  be- 
lieve in  feder<d  union  after  the  war,  they 
must  fight  for  that,"  said  Michael  Straight, 
dynamic  journalist  and  dominant  figure  at 
the  fourth  annual  Spring  Conference, 

The  Washington  correspondent  of  Neu- 
Repiihlic,  himself  a  graduate  of  Cambridge 
University  in  V)il ,  urged  the  establish- 
ment of  a  nntion-wide  organization  of 
rollege  men  through  which  "they  can 
realize  a  greater  sense  of  leadership",  and 
.  niphasized  the  importance  of  the  role  of 
I  he  college  student  in  wartime. 

Greater  Role  in  England 

Straight  pointed  out  that  students  have 
i.iad  a  more  clearly  defined  role  in  England 
than  in  America  because  of  conditions 
existing  from  193S  to  the  great  awakening 
i\  hen  war  broke  out . 

"There  was,"  he  said,  "a  kind  of  poverty 
111  politics.  The  Labor  Party  was  dead. 
The  Conservatives  were  completely  un- 
iwaie  of  the  threat  of  Nazism,  and, 
liccause  of  their  fear  of  the  Communists, 
I  hey  played   into  Cierman  hands." 

I  'nder  these  conditions,  students  formed 
what  might  be  teimed  a  basis  for  the 
pcilitical  movement  that  grew  around 
Sir  Stafford  Cripps,  now  considered 
iiiitain's  next  prime  minister.  At  Cani- 
hridge,  Straight  headed  the  Labor  Club,  a 
p.irl   of  a   national    student   organization 


which    coinnuinded    liie    respect    of    the 
English  people  and  government. 

Opposed   Chamberlain    Appeasement 

"Of  the  800  members  of  the  club,"  said 
Straight,  "at  least  500  were  willing  lo  pay 
their  own  way  to  London  at  anv  time  to 
demonstrate  for  what  they  believed;  they 
demonstrated  in  favor  of  the  .Spanisu 
Loyalist  government;  they  demonstrated 
against  Chamberlain's  apiieasement  poll- 
cii's." 

Straight  was  amazed  when  he  returned 
to  the  United  States  in  19,^7  to  find  neither 
this  consciousness  of  the  role  of  the  student 
in  governtnent  nor  an  appreciation  of  the 
importance  of  student  opinion. 

Need  An  'Awakening' 

"1  think  at  the  motnent,"  he  continued, 
"we  need  the  same  awakening  as  has  been 
experienced  in  England.  We  ha\en't  got 
it,  you  know.  We've  still  got  the  idea 
that  otir  only  fight  is  in  th"   Philippines." 

He  emphasized  that  in  wartime  students 
have  the  power  to  comtnand  an  au'lience 
because  they  are  "the  people  to  uhotii  will 
fidl  the  responsibility  of  fighting  this  war." 
The  ^'outh  Conference,  Straight  believes, 
is  an  itiiportant  beginning,  but,  he  said, 
"now  we  can  setuiJsomethingfar  broader." 

"College  men  in  this  country  have  got 
to  work  for  organization."  Straight  con- 
cluded. "There's  no  limit  to  an  organ- 
ization which  says,  'As  young  people,  we 
demand  to  be  able  to  fi,:;ht  for  the  kind  of 
world  we  would  like  to  live  in'."

WMS  Reorganization 
To  Combine  Functions 

In  an  ellort  to  CNpand  facilities  and 
present  better  programs,  the  WMS  tech- 
nical hoaril  is  experimenting  with  a  change 
of  procedure  in  the  presentation  of  re- 
cordings, according  to  John  (>.  Copley  '44, 
technical  manager.  The  new  system 
combines  announcing  and  control  func- 
tions in  the  hands  of  one  man,  for  straight 
recording  broadcasts. 

"In  the  past  it  has  been  necessary  for  a 
member  of  the  technical  board  to  operate 
the  turntable  for  broadcasts  of  recordings, 
while  these  men  could  be  tnore  profitably 
employed  in  building  and  repairing  e(|uip- 
inent,"  said  Copley.  "If  the  new  arrange- 
ment is  adopted  permanently  one  man 
will  he  able  to  run  the  station  single- 
handed,  except  for  special  broadcasts,  if 
necessary,"  he  added. 

Tile  Sundas'  afternoon  series  broadcast 
over  WBKK  have  been  discontinued. 
President  Robert  W.  Hinnian  '4J  announc- 
ed, owing  to  commercial  obligations  for 
that  time  on  the  part  of  the  Pittslield 
station.  He  further  said,  "We  are  still 
working  with  them  on  all  local  events, 
however,  such  as  the  broadcast  last 
Saturday  night  of  the  formal  speeches  of 
the  .Spring  Conference,  from  the  AMT." 

Placement  Bureau  Is 
Shifted  to  Hopkins 

Work  formerly  carried  on  at  the  Wil- 
liams Placement  Bureau  has  been  trans- 
ferred to  the  office  of  Mr.  Albert  \'. 
Osterhout  '06,  graduate  manager  of  ath- 
letics, following  the  enlistment  of  Edwin 
Holmes  '23,  former  head  of  the  agency, 
in  the  Red  Cross.  This  action  was  taken 
since  no  appropriate  successor  to  Mr. 
Holmes  has  been  found. 

Official  literature  regarding  various 
branches  of  the  armed  forces  will  be  shifted 
to  the  new  office,  where  it  will  be  more 
available  to  faculty  members  and  stu- 
dents. All  functions  of  the  Placement 
Bureau  will  be  carried  on  at  Mr.  Oster- 
hout's  office  after  April  1. 

A  room  in  the  old  Faculty'  House  will 
ccjntinue  to  be  available  for  conferences 
concerning  student  placement  in  business 
enterprises  and  enrollment  in  the  Army, 
Navv  and  Marine  forces.

2)  Sound  Health.

Joseph  W.  Barker,  Special  Assistant  to 
the  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  in 
presenting  the  V-l  program  to  the  public 
over  a  month  ago,  set  forth  some  of  its 
fundamental  purposes  and  desires,  "It  is 
a  non-militarized  preinduction  program — • 
it  does  not  put  the  men  in  college  into 
uniform  nor  does  it  require  naval  drill — 
the  Navy  believes  that  these  integrated 
V-1,  V-S,  and  V-7  programs  constitute, 
with  the  other  avenues  already  estab- 
lished, a  completely  democratic  system 
leading  to  commissions."

Mr.  Osterhout  also  ga\e  a  picture  of  the 
difticulties  that  Williams  faces  in  schedul- 
ing its  usual  oi)|.onents  for  summer  con- 
tests. Amherst  has  a  voliintnr\-  summer 
session;  therefore,  it  is  doubtful  if  it  can 
organize  varsity  teams, 

W'eslcyan  and  Trinity  are  combining 
their  summer  sessions  ,ii  Hartford,  and 
their  respective  athletic  statuses  will  be 
doubtful.  Cnion  and  several  other  col- 
leges have  cancelled  all  summer  athletics.

Load  During  Summer 


Warnings  Drop  Despite 
Speeded-up  Semester 

Contrary  to  the  evpectations  of 
most  of  the  student  body,  the  speed- 
ed-up semesti-r  failed  to  result  in  an 
increase  in  the  number  of  warnings 
this  spring,  when  only  47 <r  "f  th'' 
student  bocK-  recei\ed  warnings  on 
Wednesday.  .An  interesting  contrast 
is  afforded  by  thi-  (dass  of  1944,  which 
a  year  ago  had  70';  of  its  members 
warned,  while  the  class  of  1<)4.S  had 
only  61':;  this  spring.  In  turn,  -S.V  ; 
of  the  class  of  l'M4  got  warnings  this 
week,  or  4',;  less  than  the  class  of  I'M,? 
received  last  \-ear. 


To  counteract  an  estimated  thirty  per 
cent  labor  shortage  on  New  England  farms 
this  summer,  due  directly  to  the  draft  and 
high  wages  in  defense  industries,  a  X'olun- 
teer  Land  Corps  of  college  students  is 
being  formed.  .Alread\-  large  groups  have 
been  ricruited  at  Harvard  and  Vassar 
Colleges. 

The  Land  Corps  was  started  b\'  news- 
paper columnist  Donithv  Thompscm  last 
December  in  anticipation  of  the  rural 
labor  shortage  problem  receiving  so  much 
pul)licit\-  through  representatives  in  Con- 
gress. The  corps  leaders  hope  to  ha\'e 
gathered  up  to  2,000  college  workers  by 
June  15,  when   the  job  is  to  begin.

Ex-  Williams  Student 

Is  Japanese  War  Lord 

Twenty  years  ago  Kakutaro  (Hill) 
Suzuki  was  a  student  at  Williams. 
Today  he  is  a  mendier  of  the  Japanese 
government,  helping  to  direct  a  war 
of  aggression  against  his  former  class- 
mates. 

Born  in  Japan,  Suzuki,  a  non- 
graduate,  entered  Williams  on  Sep- 
tember 21,  1<;21,  and  left  June  22  of 
the  following  year,  -Subsequently 
he  received  a  tiegree  from  the  Imperial 
University  of  'Tokyo,  and  returned  to 
the  I  'nited  States  in  1932  as  a  mendjer 
of  the  Japanese  Finance  Committee 
in  New  York  City. 

A  Fellow  of  the  London  Royal 
Economic  Society,  the  present  Nip- 
ponese war  lord  was  recalled  to  Japan 
in  1937  to  help  direct  Japanese  econ- 
omic machinations  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Finance  of  the  Imperial 
Japanese  Government.

^Treason    Shouts  Mrs.  Stealy  of  Schuman 
Union  Now  Talk;  *  Harmless  Crackpot/  Says  He

Exactlv  a  year  ago  Howard  B.  Bishop,  ;  I'^'^t'.  '"«'  "f  «'>!  'I"  "ot  put  over  a  world 
president     of     the     Human     Bngincering  ]  government,    we    will    lose    the    peace." 
F'oundation,  wrote  Professor  F'tederick  L 


Schuman  to  "stop  sin-smoking  and  save 
the  world." 

If  Mr.  Bishop  should  ever  again  resume 
his  evangelical  correspondence,  it  will 
probably  be  to  say,  "I  told  \'ou  ,so,"  For 
Dr.  Schiniian  has  become  einliroiled  in  a 
contro\'ersy  of  considerable  complexity 
with  one  Mrs.  John  B.  .Stealy  of  Clarks- 
burg, W'.  \'d.,  who  has  accused  the  VN'il- 
lianis  "sin. smoker"  of  "treason." 

Distorted  Version  of  Speech 

Basing  her  charge  on  a  sadl>'  distorted 
version  of  a  speech  he  made  at  a  Union 
Now  luncheon  in  New  York  City  last 
F'ebruary,  Mrs.  Stealy  accused  Dr.  Schu- 
man of  undermining  "the  American  stan- 
dard," by  supporting  a  plot  to  set  tij)  "a 
world  government." 

Mrs.  Stealy,  who  claims  to  have  "abun- 
dant proof,"  though  her  sources  arc  un- 
known, erroneously  attributed  the  follow- 
ing   statement    to    Professor    Schuman: 


we  will  lose  the 
With  righteous  indignatiim,  the  Clarks- 
burg patriot  then  asked  Mr.  Schuman, 
"Who  is  Viacking  you? — Do  you  know  that 
we  .Americans  will  never  stand  for  this?" 
'Controlled  Radio  and  Press' 

In  case  there  were  any  doublts  in  Pro- 
fessor .Schunian's  mind  the  fanatical  Mrs. 
.Stealy  went  on  to  enlighten  him:  "The 
people  are  awake  to  what  \ou  and  your 
crowd  arc  up  to;  they  know  what  is  going 
on,  even  if  the  controlled  radio  and  jiress 
do  not  tell  them  so." 

Still  playing  secret  agent,  Mrs.  Stealy 
asked  Professor  Schuman,  who  was  born  in 
Chicago,  "How  long  have  you  been  in  the 
United  States?"  In  order  to  allay  any 
suspicions  concerning  her  own  nation.il 
affiliations,  Mrs.  Stealy  added  a  post 
script  to  her  letter  which  said,  "My 
ancestors  fought  to  establish  this  Republic. 
Did  yours?"

Lecturer  Predicts 
Solution  for  India 

Interdependence  Makes 
Agreement  Necessary, 
Declares         Shridharani 

"In  the  heart  of  m\-  heart  I  believe  they 
will  come  to  an  agreement  soon,  because 
the  leaders  of  India  know  the  victory  of  the 
I'niteil  N'atiiiiis  is  all-imporlatU  and  Great 
Britain  knows  ii  cannot  gel  along  without 
the  support  of  India,"  said  Krishnalal 
Shridharani,  speaking  of  the  controversN 
over  the  Cripps  proposal  for  a  post-war 
Dominion  of  India  in  exchange  lor  Indi.i's 
support  now. 

'The  young  llinilu,  author  of  the  best- 
seller My  India ,  My  America,  spoke  in 
Jesup  Mall  last  night  on  the  timely  topic, 
"India's  Hole  in  the  War."  Saying  that 
it  is  more  diflicull  In  predict  events  a  week 
ahead  than  si.\  months  ahead,  he  sub- 
mitted that  the  solution  is  "bound  to 
come,"  but  not  on  the  present  plans. 
India  Essential 

India  is  essential  to  the  rnited  Nations 
not  only  as  a  last  base  in  the  .Asiatic  war 
for  the  "great  land  battle  in  China  which 
alone  can  end  the  war,"  but  for  her  indus- 
trial resources  as  w<41.  Me  .said  that  India 
had  the  largest  supplies  of  high  grade  iron 
ore  in  the  world,  was  the  second  largest 
cotton  producer,  and  had  the  largest  sugar 
industry.  So  far  I"2ngland  has  suppressed 
Indian  industrialization,  he  conlimted,  but 
America  would  do  belter  to  "ship  India 
not  so  much  ammunilion  as  machine 
tools,"  and  shift  Ihe  burden  of  supplying 
Ihe  I'"ar  ICasleni  war  to  India.

Train- Whistle  Blackout 
Disconcerts  Campus 

Lights  blinkeil  out  hurriedh'  in  the 
Sletson  library  and  the  freshman  ipiad 
last  Tuesday  night  when  four  blasts 
of  a  whistle  moved  aulhorilies  to  take 
bl.ickout  action.  Confusion  permeated 
the  library,  as  struggling  students 
stumbled  about  the  corridors;  .some 
heading  for  the  tiny,  windowless 
janitor's  room  opposite  the  cage 
downstairs:  some  rushing  to  the  doors; 
and  some  just  scurrying. 

Impiisitive  heads  were  thrust  out 
dormitory  windows,  iis  air-raid  war- 
dens shouted  "Keep  cooll"  A  few 
minutes  later  a  disgusted  student 
snorted  the  true  explanation:  "Aw,  it 
was  only  a  train  whistle."

The  Harmless  Crackpot 

Below  i.s  a  copy  of  an  auonymou.s  liaudbill  sent  through  the  mail  last 
week  to  Richard  A.  Newhall.  chairman  of  the  faculty,  and  Cyrus  N. 
Morgan  '  12,  retiring  president  of  the  Undergraduate  Council.  The  errors 
in  locat  iiig  Williams,  in  spelling,  and  in  typograjihy  are  faithfully  repro- 
diiccil  from  the  original. 

At  Last  the  Truth! 

Fredrick  L.  Sehuiiian,  Dep't  of  Government;  Williams  College — Williams- 
town,  IViiii. — at  a  "Union  Now"  luncheon,  New  York,  Feb.  11,  1942,  .said; 

"The first  ivorld  mir  ivasfor  iheLeague  of  Nations.  We  lost  it.  Tins 
W'.vu  Is  For  World  Government.  fTe  /ioi>e  already  lost  the  ivar — we  have 
ubiiiil  tu\)  mouths  to  udn  the  peace.  If  u«  do  not  put  over  a  ivorld  government 
uv  iiill  lose  the  peace." 

We  Ihoughl  our  boys  were  ilrafted  to  save  our  way  of  life — not  to  win 
a  world  Governnieutl 

DEMAND  OF  YOUR  CONGRESSMAN  THAT  HE  SUPPORT 
"HOUSE  RESOLUTION  NO.  125"  FOR  A  CONGRESSIONAL  IN- 
VESTIGATION OF  THE  PLOT  TO  SET  UP  A  WORLD  GOVERN- 
MENT! 


The  invidious  nature  of  the  charges  and  the  di.stortion  of  the  quota- 
lif)ii.s  ill  this  handbill  are  suspiciously  like  those  contained  in  a  letter  to 
Professor  Schuniaii  himself  from  a  Mrs.  Stealy  of  Clarksburg,  W.  \a. 
The  handbills  were  postmarked  Clarksburg,  which  is  further  circumstan- 
tial evidence  that  ^Irs.  Stealy  had  a  hand  in  their  distribution. 

Professor  Schuman  has  dismissed  Mrs.  Stealy  as  a  "harmless  crack- 
pot." A  .story  on  page  one  of  this  issue  explains  that  Mrs.  Stealy  believes 
she  is  a  more  coiiii)etent  critic  of  the  world  situation  than  Professor 
Schuman  becau.se  her  forefathers  fought  in  1776.  The  story  explains  how 
Mrs.  Stealy  considers  Professor  Schuman  a  "traitor"  because  he  advo- 
cates a  particular  type  of  world  organization  after  this  war  to  insure 
permanent  peace  for  all  nations. 

Mr.  Scliuniaii  knows  a  crackpot  when  he  sees  one.  But  if  Mrs. 
Ste<aly  was  the  author  of  the  handbill  printed  above,  she  is  more  than 
"harmless",  for  the  author  of  that  circular  is  the  dispenser  of  malicious 
lies  aiitl  irre.s])onsible  propaganda.  Of  course  Mr.  Schuman  did  not  say 
the  first  World  War  was  for  the  League;  of  course  he  did  not  say  we  have 
already  lost  this  war;  of  course  "This  war  is  for  a  world  government"  in  no 
way  ailetiuately  or  fairly  expresses  his  belief  in  Federal  Union.  The  very 
carelessness  of  the  ijrinting  in  the  handbill  indicates  the  author's  .slight 
regard  for  accuracy. 

Careful  and  intelligent  judgment  is  particularly  valuable  in  wartime, 
and  complete  aiifl  relevant  information  is  the  only  reliable  guide  in  making 
thai  brand  of  judgment.  The  stuiiid,  irresponsible  information  contained 
in  the  Clark.sburg  bandbili,  urging  support  of  an  unexplained  and  unknown 
Coiigres.sion al  resolution,  is  neither  complete,  relevant,  nor  intelligent. 
This  is  the  i)rcjudieed,  warped  thinking  which  breeds  dissent  and  dis- 
content within  America. 

.Viionymous  atlacks  of  this  sort  admit  of  no  reply  or  discussion;  they 
are  precisely  the  kind  of  vengeful  narrowness  which  wrecked  the  peace 
efforts  of  1918. 

Above  all,  handbills  of  this  character  provide  vicious  fifth-column 
propiignnda  again.st  the  only  hope  Americans  can  now  hold  to  firmly — -tlie 
ho[)e  of  a  i)ost-war  world  organization  to  maintain  peace  and  to  promote 
the  prosperity  of  all  peoples,  regardless  of  their  race,  or  their  creed,  or 
their  ancestors. 


Again  No  News 

March  13 — "Campus  Business  Management  took  another  step 
toward  the  establishment  of  a  functioning  program  last  night  when  the 
undergraduate  representatives  of  sixteen  social  groups  elected  three 
officers." 

March  20 — No  news. 

March  27 — "The  Undergraduate  Committee  of  Campus  Business 
Management  at  Williams  College,  waiting  further  action  of  the  Alumni 
Committee  in  New  York  City,  has  not  convened  since  the  organization 
meeting  two  weeks  ago." 

April  3 — Again  no  news. 

Has  the  Cooperative  Management  plan  which  was  rushed  through 
sixteen  Williams  houses  with  record  speed  last  February  bogged  down? 
"The  system  will  be  in  operation  on  or  shortly  after  March  1,"  the  alumni 
chairman  predicted  in  February.  But  the  Undergraduate  Executive 
Committee  fwho  with  the  Alumni  Executive  Committee  was  delegated  to 
choose  a  business  manager)  has  not  convened  since  March  12;  it  has  not 
heard  from  the  graduate  group  since  that  date.    And  today  the  system  is 


not  yet  in  operation. 

Progressive  steps  have  probably 
been  taken  by  alumni  in  New  ^'ork, 
but  if  .so,  no  word  has  reached  the 
undergraduates.  We  urge  the  alumni 
to  realize  that  iiiidergradiialc  inter- 
est can  be  retained  only  if  they 
keep  Cooperative  Management  jiro- 
gress  before  the  .still lent  body.  Again 
we  offer  the  aliinini  the  service  of 
this  iKW.spaiier;  again  we  reiiiind 
them  that  uiidergradiiates  are 
wondering  what  lias  lia|)peiied  to 
Campus  Business  Management.

only  one  of  a  largo  group,  tlu'  si-ll-appoint 
(■<!  spy-l)nstcr  from  Cl;irksl)iiiK  i-ciiuiiiu«l: 
"I  uiHlerstaiid  that  a  .Miss  '."innniiags  also 
made  tlic  same  type  of  atldrois,  and  tliat 
she  is  not  even  a  citizen.  She  shall  he 
dealt  with  according  to  tlie  .American 
standard,  as  an  alien  propagandist.  WHO 
IS  NOT  E\EN  RE(;iSTKI<KD,  or  v.e 
are  going  to  know  ihe  reason  why." 

.Asserting  that  his  correspondent  was 
obvioiisiy  a  "harmless  crackirot,"  Pro- 
fessor SchiimaTi,  nevertheless,  answered 
her  letter,  and  pointed  out  that  "Federal 
Union  is  a  nationwide  organization  de- 
\oted  to  the  cause  of  .American  leadershij) 
in  forming  a  federation  of  free  peoples  as 
the  nucleus  of  a  world  government.  Far 
from  being  'un--\nierican',  it  is  as  .American 
as  maple  syrup  and  swing  music,"  he  said. 

Admitting  that  he  spoke  at  a  Union  Now 
luncheon  "along  with  Miss  Cummings  of 
Canada,"  Dr.  Schuman  added:  "My  con- 
tention at  the  luncheon  was-  that  a  New 
World  Order  w  ill  almost  inevitably  emerge 
out  of  the  Second  World  War,  and  that  if 
the  United  .StaLCs  and  the  tJnitetl  Nations 
do  not  dedicate  themselves  to  estahlishiiig 
a  framework  of  world  governiiieiU  on  a 
democratic  basis,  it  is  possilile  that  the 
war  and  the  peace  may  be  lost  to  our 
enemies,  who  are  engagetl  in  an  attempt  to 
establish  world  government  on  .i  liasis  of 
tyranny  and  terrorism."

Four  Semester  Program 

Physics.  In  order  to  help  fill  the 
nation's  need  for  trained  communications 
men,  as  well  as  specialists  in  other  fields 
of  physics,  the  physics  department  has 
made  a\'ailable  a  short  four-semester 
program  for  communications  men,  to  fit 
them  for  later  intensive  training.  This  is 
especially  designed  for  men  who  will  be 
unable  to  spend  more  than  two  years  in 
college,  and  also  serves  as  the  first  four  (or 
five)  semesters  of  the  revised  major. 

This  accelerated  program  will  retiuire 
freshmen  to  take  General  College  Physics 
1-2  {or  U-2a)  and  Math  1-2  (or  lra-2n). 
The  sophomore  courses  during  the  third 
and  fourth  semesters  of  the  program  are 
Physics  5-6  (Electricity  and  Magnetism), 
Physics  11-12  (Electronics  and  Radio 
Communication),  and  Math  3-4.  During 
the  first  semester  of  the  junior  year  the 
plan  prescribes  Physics  11a  (Advanced 
Electronics)  and  Physics  3  (Optics). 

The  cooperative  M.I.T.  program,  which 
has  been  revised  along  the  same  lines  as 
the  major  and  communications  courses, 
now  takes  only  two  years,  or  six  semesters, 
at  Williams,  followed  by  four  more 
semesters  at  M.I.T. 

Poly  Sci.  Revised 

Political  Science  3-4  and  5-6  have  both 
been  revised  to  include  material  relating 
to  the  present  war,  and  problems  which 
arise  out  of  it.  3-4  is  International  Re- 
lations, and  in  the  second  semester  will 
stress  the  world  program  of  the  Fascist 
triple  alliance  and  the  United  Nations,  and 
the  prerequisites  of  a  Free  World  Order. 
5-6,  Phases  of  American  Government, 
analyzes  American  political  institutions 
and  the  American  Constitution,  with 
emphasis  on  recent  changes  in  the  scope 
and  power  of  the  national  government,  and 
on  constitutional  and  political  aspects  of 
government  in  a  wartime  democracy. 
Political  Science  1-2  is  a  prerequisite  to 
both  3-4  and  5-6. 

Spanish  lo-46  An  intensive  course  in 
Elementary  and  Intermediate  Spanish,  in 
which  each  class  lasts  for  an  hour  and  a 
half.  Open  with  the  consent  of  the  in- 
structor, to  qualified  sophomores  and 
juniors,  it  covers  in  two  semesters  the 
material  induded  in  Spanish  1-2  and  3-4.

Known  as    "Red  Oueen  " 

Known  on  the  campus  as  "red  (pieen," 
Sa\Te  was  football  nranager  and  valedic- 
tnrian  of  his  class.  He  is  also  a  iiieinber 
ol  ihe  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and  Gargovle 
Micieties.  In  the  IW)  Giilielmeiisiuii,  he 
was  \dted  "second  brightest  in  his  class, 
bciollickand  lilulT." 

.After  graduating  h'orii  W'iUianis.  he 
enrolled  in  the  Harvard  Law  School, 
married  W'cjodrow  Wilson's  daughter, 
Jessie  Wilson,  became  deputy  assistant

all  in  the  span  of  only  four  years. 

After  the  war  .Sayre  received  an  assis-

I'nivcrsity,  which  he  held  until  192.S.  In 
this  eventful  year  the  king  of  Siani  called 
on  him  to  serve  as  an  adviser  in  foreign 
affairs  for  that  ancient  country.  During 
the  next  five  years  Saxre  negotiated  many 
fMilitical  and  economic  treaties  with  most 
(if  the  countrii's  of  Europe.

Of  Stay  In  London 

American  Soldiers  Are 
Mistaken  As  Germans 
Or    Japs     In  Lancashire 

"They  aren't  starving,  hut  they  aren't 
eating,  either,"  declared  Winthrop  S.  Pike 
'41  who  i-ecei'tly  returned  (o  this  country 
after  a  five-nronth  tour  of  duty  in  the 
British  Isles.  Thi's  reply  was  given  in 
answer  to  a  (|aery  on  the  success  of  the 
British  rationirrg  system. 

Pike,  one  of  the  foumiei's  of  WMS  and 
skilled  in  radio  work,  enlisted  in  the  signal 
corps  last  September  and  w.is  immediately 
connnibsioned  a  s-cond  lieulena,it  and 
sent  to  Britain. 

l.ul'lwal'fe  Dania^'e 

Conmienting  on  the  damage  w  rought  by 
lr\c  Luflwaffc  »  \ear  ago,  Pike  stated,  "k  is 
har'd  to  give  an  understandable  idea  of  the 


bomb  damage  to  one  who  hasn't  seen  it. 
There  ,ire  tpiile  a  few  vacant  lots,  but  un- 
less you  slop  and  ;hink.  you  don't  leali/.e 
wh.it  they  are.  The  idea  that  Loiidrjn  is- 
laid  low  is  all  wrong." 

"We  were  well  treated  in  Errgland  with 
the  exception  of  two  small  boys,"  he  stated, 
"they  were  confused  by  the  s.'range  uni- 
forms. One  said  to  the  other,  nervousl\-, 
'Do  you  think  he's  a  German'?  The  other 
replied  in  broailesi  Lancashire  .recent, 
'Flee?  No,  'e's  a  Japanese'." 
I.imkIoii  Quiet 

Contrasting  Ihe  tprietness  of  London 
now  with  the  chrros  of  a  yerrr  ago.  Pike 
said  that  durirrg  his  stay  in  Lonihjir,  theie 
were  no  air  raids.  I  le  <lecl.ired,  "r\  e  seen 
I)lenty  of  alerts,  but  people  are  so  accus- 
tomed to  them  that  they  jirst  tunr  o\er 
ami  go  back  to  sleep." 

Speaking    with    the    knowledge    of   an 


aliunnus  and  thi  experience  of  a  person 
whfj  h.is  been  in  ihe  ilre.rter  of  war,  l^ike 
declared  that  it  .v.rs  ri'iissurirrg  to  see  the 
colk'ge  ailapliirg  itself  so  well  lo  the  war.

Nine  Leaves  Cage 
For  Outdoor  Drills: 

Weather  Lets  Caldwell 
Have  Batting,  Fielding 
Practice     on  Cole   Field  j 

A  chaiijif  in  wcatlicr  this  Wft-k  finally 
ail(i«fd  Coach  Charlio  Caltlwfll's  l)aso- 
ball  foro'S  to  leave  their  cramped  ([uarters 
in  llu'  cus;e  and  m-t  in  some  liitting  and 
fiililiiii,'  practice  on   Cole  Field. 

Altlioiiuli  the  diamond  was  still  not 
thorou.nhly  driiil  out,  it  was  warm  enough 
for  fast  infield  practices  and  informal 
games.  The  mound  corps  of  Satch  Lare, 
Ed  Callahan,  Bill  West,  Al  Swain,  Roy 
Tolles,  and  Ed  IManchfield,  which  has 
starleil  tu  bear  down  after  four  weeks  of 
hurling,  is  still  wuy  ahead  of  the  batters. 
Franny  Dolan  and  Bob  Gardner  have  been 
catching. 

Starting  Line-up  Uncertain 

Caldwell  is  still  uncertain  about  his 
starting  line-up  for  the  Army  tilt  but  two 
weeks  away.  One  of  his  practice  infields 
saw  sophomore  John  Bridgewater  at  first, 
Captain  Gunnnr  Hagstrom  at  the  key- 
stone sack,  and  Dick  Emery  and  Bill 
Donovan  at  third  and  short  stop,  respect- 
ively. Last  year  on  the  freshman  team, 
Emery  held  down  the  short  field  post, 
while  IJonovan  covered  the  hot  corner. 

The  other  combination  had  second-year 
men  Joe  Adriance,  Al  Reilly,  and  Bill 
Orr  on  the  bases,  with  lettcrnian  Jack 
Harter,  converted  from  an  outfielder,  at 
short. 

Veterans  Bob  Swain  and  Bill  Schmidt 
combined  with  Gunnar  Hayes  to  form  one 
outfield  trio,  while  Bill  Ford,  Chuck 
Yeiser,  and  Monk  Stanley  made  up  the 
other.  Stanley  has  also  seen  action  be- 
hind the  plate.

Matt  Mann,   Michigan  Swimming   Coach, 
Says  Enthusiasm  Key  To  Western  Success 


"To  be  a  champion  you've  got  to  live 
the  game  all  the  time,"  declared  iVIatt 
Mann,  Michigan  swimming  coach  and 
Bob  Muir's  guest  early  this  week,  in  ex- 
plaining his  unparalleled  record  of  twelve 
victrjries  out  of  the  last  fifteen  National 
meets  and  an  A.A.U.  championship  two 
years  ago 

Practice  All  Year 

"Out  west,"  he  said,  "we  take  our  sports 
seriously.  If  you're  a  swimmer  or  a  track- 
man you  stick  to  one  sport,  and  practice 
goes  from  September  to  June."  While 
admitting  that  Yale,  this  year's  National 
winner,  has  a  "very  fair"  team  and  ought 
to  annex  the  coming  A.A.U.  championship, 
the  famous  sports  figure  accused  the  East 
of  a  certain  "superciliousness"  that  did 
much  to  damage  its  athletics. 

Born  in  England  over  fift>-  )'ears  ago 
Mann  learned  to  swim  in  a  null  river  from 
which  he  emerged  whate\-er  color  the  near- 
by dyers  happened  to  be  using  on  their 
blankets.  He  came  to  this  countr\-  at  an 
early  age,  and  later  taught  swinuning  in 
many  institutions  throughout  the  nation, 
spending  three  >'ears  at  Vale  and  three 
more  at  Harvard.  Michigan  he  prefers, 
however,  because,  as  he  says  emphatically, 
there  "the  boys  gke." 

Last  Year's  Team  Best 

The  team  he  thinks  the  best  he  ever 
coached  was  last  year's,  but,  asked  for  the 
best  sw^inmier  he  ever  had  under  him,  he 
rattles  off  innumerable  names,  only 
stopping  long  enough  to  recite  a  few 
world's  records.  "It  wouldn't  be  fair 
to  the  other  boys  to  name  any  one,"  he 
says.

Famous  for  a  fiery  temper  that  accepts 
nothing  but  perfection  Mann  gets  little 
less  than  adoration  from  his  teams,  which 
in  the  Michigan  legend  swint  "first  for 
Michigan,  then  for  Matt." 

Schmidt  Routs  Hemphill 
To  Take  Squash  Honors 

'41     Champion    Is    Beaten 
In     3     Straight     Games 

Scoring  his  second  straight  upset.  Bill 
Schmidt  downed  Dude  Hemphill  15-11, 
15-8,  15-6  last  Frida\'  to  annex  the  college 
squash  singles  championship.  Hemphill, 
captain-elect  of  the  squash  team  and  the 
defending  champ,  was  no  match  for  the 
smooth-stroking  Schmidt,  who  took  quick 
advantage  of  openings  and  won  handily. 
Repeated  placement  errors  by  Hemphill 
plaxed  a  big  part  in  the  outcome  of  the 
match. 

Schmidt,  seeded  third,  lost  only  one 
game  in  his  march  to  the  championship. 
He  blanked  Bob  Hendrie,  the  1942  captain 
in  the  semi-final  round.  During  the  regu- 
lar season  .Schnndt  held  down  the  number 
three  position,  winning  four  and  losing 
four. 

N.S.C.A.  Coaches  Elect 
Muir  As  Vice  President 

Donn   Early   Will   Captain 
'43      Swimming      Team 

Robert  B.  Muir,  Williams  swimming 
coach,  was  elected  vice-president  of  the 
National  Swimming  Coaches  Association 
last  Saturday  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
National  Collegiate  Swimming  Champion- 
ships at  Harvard.  Tuesday  Muir  an- 
nounced the  election  of  1942  Co-Captain 
Donn  Early  to  the  leadership  ofnextyear's 
squad. 

At  the  same  time  as  his  election  to  the 
vice-presidenc)-,  the  Williams  coach  was 
appointed  a  member  of  the  National  Inter- 
collegiate Advisory  Committee.  The  six 
men  on  this  committee  represent  the  top 
authority  in  intercollegiate  swimming. 
For  the  past  two  years  Muir  has  been 
Chairman  of  the  Award  Committee, 
charged  with  the  selection  of  the  outstand- 
ing college  swimmer  of  the  year.  Last 
week  his  committee  voted  the  honor  to 
Rene  Chouteau  of  Yale. 

Muir  has  coached  the  Lascll  swimmers 
for  six  years  and  has  gaijicd  national 
recognition  for  the  team  and  for  himself. 
He  is  at  present  the  New  England  repre- 
sentative on  the  Pan  American  Games 
Conmiittcc,  which  voted  this  winter  to 
hold  a  Pan  American  Olympic  Game  in 
Buenos  Aires  this  coming  November. 
No  action  has  been  taken  by  the  committee 
since  December  7.

Test 


With  twenlv-eight  students  already  en- 
rolled in  the  Senior  Red  Cross  Lifesaving 
course.  Swimming  Coach  Robert  B.  Muir 
plans  to  have  a  large  group  from  which  to 
choose  candidates  for  special  advanced 
training.  For  these  he  is  developing  what 
he  styles  the  U.  S.  Commando  test. 

This  test,  original  with  Muir,  is  designed 
to  qualify  those  interested  or  expecting  to 
be  in  the  nation's  armed  forces  in  the  near 
future,  to  be  of  aid  to  themselves  and  to 
others  in  time  of  emergencx'  without  fur- 
ther endangering  life. 

Towards  this  end,  the  candidates  will 
be  required  to  swim  at  least  a  half  a  mile, 
to  be  able  to  push  a  man  a  quarter  of  a 
mile.  Basic  in  this  will  be  the  breast- 
stroke  which  the  Purple  coach  describes 
as  the  most  universal  and  practical  ol  all 
strokes,  It  enables  the  swimmer  to 
navigate  with  his  head  out  of  water,  with 
a  pack  on  his  back,  or  while  pushing 
another  man  in  front  of  him. 

The  "commando"  candidates  will  also 
have  to  swim  a  length  and  a  half  of  l.asell 
Pool  under  water,  be  able  to  hold  their 
breath  on  the  bottom  for  a  minute,  and 
effectiveh-  drive  a  ten  penny  nail  into  a 
submerged  log.  Added  training  will  be 
given  in  shooting  an  air  riflewhilc  treading 
water.

iately deplete  his  excheijuer  by  the  value 
of  anything  from  a  pair  of  snappy  Nettle- 
ton  shoes  to  a  brand  new,  hot-off-the- 
griddle  Disney  fedora. 

Tom  will  gladlj'  suggest  an  outfit 
absolutely  guaranteed  to  create  a  major 
disturbance  in  the  general  vicinity  of 
Northampton.  For  the  perfect  com- 
bination his  mind  at  the  moment  tends 
toward  a  tweed  Shetland  sport  coat, 
brown  covertcloth  trousers  a  la  Timely 
Clothes,  a  plain  white  shirt  in  the  inimi- 
table Arrow  style,  complete  with  button- 
d  nvn  collar,  figured  foulard  tie  from  the 
genius  of  the  Manhattan  mills.  A 
sparkling,  canary-yellow  sweater  to  match 
llashy,  full-fashion  Westminster  socks  of 
the  hue,  and  those  white  buck,  retl-rubber- 
soled  "dapper-dans"  that  are  the  pride  of 
Nettlcton  completes  the  picture  that  will 
make  feminine  hearts  palpitate. 

The  first  article  that  hits  the  eye  in  the 
Co-o])  interior,  now  that  skis  and  other 
tools  of  the  winter  enthusiast  have  been 
relegated  to  cut-rate  sales,  is  tlie  St. 
James  shoes,  lying  in  full  splendor  where 
nobody  can  miss  them.     They  are  perfect 


his  case  before  a  potential  mother-in-law. 
The  reappearance  of  the  Ambassador,  the 
hand-finished,  form-fitting  blucher,  de- 
serves more  than  a  passing  rounil  of 
applause. 

Nettleton  laps  the  fiehl  again  in  the 
aforementioned  white  buck  sensation, 
which  are  only  awaiting  the  retreat  of 
General  Winter  and  1st  Lieutenant  Mud 
to  make  their  annual  spring  debut.  In 
contrast  with  most  other  concerns,  which 
ha\-e  already  announced  that  the\-  will  be 
forced  to  use  reprocessed  black  soles, 
Co-op's  famous  shoemaker  has  in  stock 
enough  new  red  rubber  soles  to  last  out  the 
summer.  .\\\  Nettleton  shoes,  Tom  main- 
tains, "will  last  all  your  life  if  you  die  when 
you  ought  to." 

Shifting  to  socks,  Westminster  offers 
83%pure  wool,17';,cashmore  products  that 
rival  in  all-roun<l  desirability  anything 
Harlem  has  to  offer  in  distinctive  colora- 
ation.  It  would  be  a  mistake,  howeier, 
to  take  away  credit  from  these  Co-op 
specialties  on  the  basis  ofdrabtinting, since 
all  combinations  of  maroon,  green,  camel 
and  yellow  give  ample  latitude  for  choice. 

Shirts  and  ties  are  again  following  the 
general  trends  toward  siniplicit\',  with 
Manhattan  taking  the  lead  in  providing 
gems  for  the  connoisseur  of  wearing 
apparel.  Colors  arc  again  a  major  feature 
with  occasional  striped  varieties  presented 
for  the  sake  of  rugged  indixidualists. 
Knit  ties  are  gaining  steadily  in  popularit\' 
but  once  again  the  maxim  holds,  "N'ou  ask 
for  it  and  Co-op  will  give  it  to  you." 


With  the  long,  dreary  summer  session 
ahead,  undergraduate  minds  in  general  are 
turning  toward  week-ends  and  acquain- 
tances at  other  institutions  of  higher 
learning.  Thus  it  seems  fairly  safe  to 
for  any  occasion;  in  fact,  so  majestic  are  j  accept  Tom's  prediction  of  a  run  on  seer- 
these  wing-tipped  triple  soled  wonders  suckers  and  Shctlajid  tweeds  at  face  value, 
that  only  the  wearers  of  the  Royal  Purple  i  What  with  Co-0]j  tailoring  and  the  dazz- 


would  seem  fit  to  wear  them 

Snappy  two-tone  constructions,  a  brown 
and  white  combination  in  particular,  would 
do  credit  to  any  undergraduate  pleading 


ling  variety  of  patterns  offered  by  Barrie 
Morcll  Co.  a  well-clothed  Williams  stu- 
dent body  would  be  a  reasonable  hope  for 
the  immediate  future. 


Emma  Willard  Concert 
For  Glee  Club  Saturday 

l-"resh  from  one  of  its  most  successful  and 
W('ll-recei\'ed  concerts  iji  recent  >'ears,  the 
Williams  Cilee  Club,  under  the  direction  of 
Robert  G.  Harrow,  journejs  to  the  Ennna 
Willard  School  at  Troy,  N'.  \'.,  tomorrow 
exening  for  its  second  engagement  of  the 
spring  season.  Both  the  Enuna  Willard 
and  Williams  glee  clubs  will  sing;  the 
program  beings  at  8;00  p.m. 

Last  Saturday's  joint  concert  with  the 
Wellesley  Choir  found  Chapin  Hall  with  a 
near  capacity  audience  of  1000  responsive 
and  appreciative  people.  This  figure 
represents  the  largest  group  to  attend  a 
function  of  this  sort  since  1400  heard 
Marian  An<lerson  sing  here  three  years  ago. 

Tomorrow's  concert  at  Emma  Willard 
marks  the  first  occasion  on  which  that 
school  has  entertained  a  large  visiting 
college  glee  club.  Mr.  Albert  Pickering, 
director  of  the  Emma  Willard  organiza- 
tion, has  asked  the  Williams  Glee  Club  to 
be  the  first  in  what  he  hopes  will  be  a  long 
line  of  college  glee  clubs  to  appear  on  the 
Enuna  Willard  campus  during  the  next 
f(nv  v'ears. 

SALVAGE  DRIVE 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

The  other  subdivisions  include  Dr. 
Richard  Leonard,  member  pf  the  local 
Boy  Scout  Council,  and  supervisor  of 
Collection  by  Scouts;  Ralph  Mason, 
manager  of  the  salv.aging  of  heavy  ma- 
terial; Mrs.  Charles  P.  Stocking,  conductor 
of  household-salvage;  and  Ned  Walden, 
director  of  the  Boys'  Club,  in  charge  of 
canvassing  b>'  its  members. 

What  happens  to  the  items  after  they 
have  been  collected  is  simple  and  direct. 
Paper,  for  example,  is  received  by  James 
Harris  of  the  Old  Blacksmith  Shop  on 
Water  Street  from  the  various  depart- 
ment-heads and  from  Williams  fraternities 
and  dormitories  through  college  trucks  and 
then  shipped  to  Sam  Shapiro,  a  junk 
dealer  in  North  Adams.  He,  in  turn, 
sends  the  paper  to  the  Walloomsac  mill  in 
New  York  Citv,  where  it  is  re-used.

Popular  Styles  of  Princeton,  Yale  Campuses 
Featured  at  Hendersons  Langrock  Store 


Sti'iulily  I'isiiiK  in  |)iipiil;irity,  and  i-veii 
rivalioK  in  tlu'  I'lilluisiasiii  of  its  rccfpiinn 
siidi  Laii^nji-k  favoriu-s  as  llic  Ci)liiinbia 
and  Sieilinn  models,  is  llif  lU'w  sprins 
creatiim  now  iVaturcd  at  Jack  Urndfison's 
Williams  Stdrc.  Made  m  confonn  with 
recent  rcfjulalions  of  Ihc  War  Pnidiicliun 
Board,  this  new  iikicIcI  cual,  knmvn  as  the 
C'lirniH,  has  proven  imbeliewibly  success- 
ful «licrc\er  It  has  been  placed  on  sale. 

First  displayed  at  the  famous  Langrock 
shop  located  in  the  heart  of  Princeton  on 
Nassau  Sired,  the  t'ornell  met  with  in- 
stantaneous appro\al  anions  the  sons  of 
the  Tiger.  .Mso  unable  to  resist  the 
appeal  of  the  Cornell's  new,  beautiful 
lines,  were  counlless  Yale  men,  who  joined 
their  IVincelori  rivals  in  voicing  their 
enthusi.isiii. 

Novel  Langrock  Creation 

Althiiunh  only  recently  placed  on  sale  at 
Jack  Henderson's  store,  many  Williams 
men  have  alscj  yielded  to  the  temptation 
to  possess  this  novel  Langrock  creation. 
Matle  of  100%  wool,  the  Cornell  has  nian- 
atjed  to  achieve  what  would  appear  at 
first  ylance  to  be  impossible.  Not  only  is 
it  perfectly  adapted  for  long,  tall  men,  but 
it  also  has  pro\eit  i-xlreniel>'  becoming  to 
those  under  live  feel,  five  inches.  Uon't 
try  to  lell  a  short  man  that  the  Cornell  is 
not  his  type,  because  he'll  insist  that  it  was 
made  for  him. 

Ask  anyone  wearing  a  Cornell  why  he 
likes  it,  why,  in  fact,  he  refuses  to  part 
from  it  c.vcept  when  sleeping,  and  you'll 
get  two  universal  answers.  First:  this 
model  is  one  of  the  most  comfortable  cttats 
ever  to  cover  a  man's  back;  and  second: 
you  couldn't  ask  for  cloth  of  a  more 
attracli\e  or  appealing  cut. 

Kept  Under  Cover 

Created  and  designed  prior  to  the  Pearl 
Harbor  disaster,  the  Cornell  is  unlike  any 
other  Langrock  model.  Owing  to  the 
originality  of  its  design.  Jack  Henderson 
refuses  to  (luote  the  style  features  which 
have  made  it  one  of  the  fastest  selling 
spring  creations  on  the  Princeton  and  Yale 
campuses.  In  order  to  pre\'ent  cop\ing 
as  much  as  possible,  no  Cornell  models  are 
to  be  seen  on  display  in  the  main  room  of 
the  Langrock  store  in  Williamstown. 
They  are  either  on  the  backs  of  recent 
buyers,  or  kept  out  of  sight  in  one  of  the 
rear  rooms  of  the  store. 

Especially  popular  in  the  sport-coat 
line,  the  Cornell  model  is  made  of  excep- 
tionally line  English  and  Scotch  wool.  In 
this  respect.  Jack  announced  that  Lang- 
rock had  been  very  fortunate.  Whereas 
users  of  American  wool  have  been  restricted 
to  manufacturing  only  10%  of  their  goods 
for  civilian  products,  Langrock  is  free  to 
import  wool  from  the  British  Isles  until 
June  1.  Being  importers,  Langrock  w'ill 
not  be  affected  b\'  wool  restrictions  before 
a  year  from  the  present  time 

Virgin  Wool  Garments 

While  manufacturers  of  native  wool 
will  be  compelled  to  u.se  rayon,  cotton,  and 
other  substitutes,  Jack  declared  that  the 
Williams  Store  has  a  supply  of  virgin  wool 
garments  which  will  last  at  least  another 
year.  He  also  revealed  that  two  more 
shipments  are  soon  e.vpecteti  to  reach  this 
country,  if  they  can  succeed  in  escaping 
the  Nazi  submarine  menace. 

Also  from  the  British  Isles  are  orders  of 
Cashmere  and  .Shetland  woolens,  which 
will  be  made   into   both   sport-coats  and 


I  sweaters.  Hanil-woven  in  Hawick,  Scot- 
land, this  material  will  be  made  up  by 
Langrock  into  their  own  styles.  Lnlike 
the  wild  lines  and  checks  which  have  been 

j  characteristic  of  sport-coats  for  the  last 
four  or  five  years,  this  year's  trend  has  been 
toward  siin|)licily  and  UKjre  subilued  pat- 

;  terns.  Jack  announcetl.  Of  e(|uall>  high 
quality  are  the  Jaeger  sweaters,  which 
will  be  featured  again  this  year  at  the 
Williams  Store.     Made  in   (ireat   Britain 

I  of   Cashmere  and   Shetland    wools,   their 

I  bright    colors    have    always    been    great 

I  favorites  with  Williams  men. 

Also  sure  to   meet   the  approval   of  all 

j  those  who  delight  in  gay  colors  are  Argyle 
socks,  featured  this  year  especially  in 
yellows  and  greens.  Even  wildi'r  tlesigns 
are  to  be  found  in  Jack's  stock  of  imported 
ties  and  pajamas.  Truly  a  patriotic  touch 
are  the  red  and  blue  stripes  on  many  of 
these  pajamas.     A  similar  departure  from 

I  conservatism    is    found    in    the   brighter,  j 

;  deeper  stripes  of  the  shiits  now  cm  sale,  i 
while    the    checkered    vests    of    tatlersol 
design    combine    wonderfulK'    with    both 
sport-coats  and  slacks. 

To   all   those   worried   b\'    the   present  | 
restrictions  on  rubber  goods,  Jack  brings 
good   news,   for   the   Williams   Store  has 
plentiful    supplies    of    both    rubber-soled 

I  street  and  tennis  shoes,  and  of  tennis  and 
golf  balls.  He  also  insists  that  Langrock 
will  be  \vell-ec|uipped  during  the  coming 

j  season  for  every  tv-pe  of  sport,  as  the  new 
sports-room  is  being  supplieil  with  everv- 
thing  from  skis  to  ping-pi^ng  paddles. 

I  Organ  Pipes  for  Chapel 
Bought  from  Pittsfield 

A  truck-load  of  what  looked  like  giant 
metal  cigars  was  carried  into  the  rear 
entrance  of  the  Chapel  lafc  last  Friday 
afternoon  and  stored  in  the  basement. 
The  fort\-four  torpedo-shaped  olijects  | 
constitute  the  bass  pipcj  of  an  organ  re-  I 
moved  from  the  Masonic  Temple  in  Pitts- 
field  and  will  supplant  the  present  set  in 
the  Chapel  when  sufficient  funds  for  the 
operation  can  be  raised. 

The  pipes  range  in  size  from  nineteen 
feet  in  length  and  eight  inches  in  diameter 
to  four  feet  by  four  inches,  some  of  them 
too  heavy  for  one  man  to  lift.  The  orgaT 
now  in  use  is  over  fiftv'  \'ears  old  and  is 
badly  in  need  of  repair. 

"This  set  of  pipes  is  tiiiite  a  find,"  ex- 
plained Robert  Ci.  Barrow,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  music,  "since  no  more  will  be 
manufactured  for  the  duration  of  the  war, 
because  of  the  zinc  and  tin,  on  which  the 
government  has  priorities,  used  in  their 
construction." 

Hearing  that  the  Masonic  Temple's 
organ  was  being  torn  down,  Barrow  picked 
up  the  pipes  at  a  bargain  price.  The 
average  cost  of  a  new  set  would  be  $800, 
he  said. 

This  purchase  was  part  of  a  three-year 
program,  started  last  Christmas,  to  obtain 
a  new  organ  for  the  Chapel.  The  main 
difficulty,  Barrow  pointed  out,  is  to  raise 
enough  money  to  pay  for  the  removal  of 
the  old  pipes  and  the  installation  of  the 
new  ones.  "It  would  have  to  be  done  by 
a  kind  of  derrick,"  he  explained,  "the 
whole  operation  costing  about  $300." 


'Life'  Praises  Work 
Of  Newhall's  Nephew 

Continuing  a   journalistic  e-areer  begun 
in     Williamstown     High    .School,      Corp 
Eugene  Xewhall,  ne|ihew  of  Acting  Presi- 
dent  Richard  A.   N'ewb.dl,  is  now  editing 
the  weekly  four-page  Kodiak  Bear,  a  V.  S.  I 
Army    publication     for    the    soldiers    in  ! 
Alaska. 

Last  week  Life  magazine  paid  tribuic  lo  , 
this  "voice  of  the  Army  in  Alaska,"  in  a 
lengthy   article  which  i-raised  the  paper's  \ 
"breezy  exuberance,"  .md  commented  on  j 
its    "rough    frontier   air."     According   to. 
Life,    Editor    Newhall    contributed    "the 
prize  Bear  lyric  to  date,"  when  he  pub- 
lished   one    of    his    own    poems   entitled 
"\'alentine  Wishes  t(i  a  (k'islm  (Wrl." 

Newhall,  who  edited  the  school  maga- 
zine, the  Taconic,  graduated  from  Wil- 
liamstown High  in  1931,  and  then  took 
aihanced  w.jrk  in  journalism  at  Minne- 
sota. He  was  doin,^  radio  work  for  the 
Minneapolis  Tribmie  when  he  was  drafted 
last  year. 

SHRIDHARANI  | 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Asiatics,  he  said,  has  been  the  thought, 
"The  Western  World  has  cunc|uered  us."  | 
Resentment  of  the  coniiuest  and  the  desire  | 
to  restore  national  glory  has  plaved  on  the 
hearts  of  the  people  until  the\  do  not  know 
which  side  they  are  for.  consetiuently  they 
fight  for  neit  her. 

The  war  must  be  made  a  people's  war, 
to  gain  the  tletemiination  and  success  of 
the  Russians  and  the  Chinese.  The  war 
must  be  made  a  religion,  as  strong  to  the 
people  as  Nazism  is  to  the  Germans  or 
hara-kiri  to  the  Japanese,  and  then  India, 
Asia,  and  the  United  Nations  will  have  a 
"unityjno  combination  of  dictators  can 
survive,"   Shridharani   said.

a...  full  week  devoted  to 
Authentic  Dress  at  The  Williams  Shop 


\^^  CL/ HK  STORY  ot  authentic  dress  is  one  of 
never-ending  efifort.  .of  trying  to  turn  you  out  at  your 
best  bv  wav  of  the  clothes  you  wear.  There's  no  secret 
to  it  -  playing  down  a  man's  poor  points,  playing  up  his 
good  ones  is  never  accidental!  There's  no  "short-cut- 
ting path"  to  a  distinguished  appearance!  Every  skilled 
principle  of  tailoring  we  possess,  nearly  half  a  century 
of  daily  contact  with  College  men  and  Alumni  has 
taught  us  the  true  value  of  Quality  and  how  to  impart 
correct  st>  ling  in  a  conservative  manner ...M^it/i  comfort. 


,;> 


While  your  clothes  must  fit  as  if  they  were  made  for  you  alone,  style  alone  is  not  ALL  IMPORTANT 
this  year!  The  present  emergency  demands  that  clothes  LAST  LONGER.  .  .  .retain  their  custom 
appearance  for  many  seasons  if  need  be.  We've  anticipated  this  quality  theme  in  the  handsome  im- 
ported Shetlands,  tweeds,  gabardines,  flannels,  coverts  and  worsteds  now  presented  in  our  1942  Spring 
Showing.     Won't  you  drop  inland  confirm  this?

pects delivery  any  day  now. 

Though  very  rare  on  the  open  market, 
thirl y-live  dark  gray  flannel  suits,  in  every 
size,  are  just  arriving,  and  what  will  soon 
be  unbelievable  pleats  are  preseiu.  Being 
"tailors  in  trade"  the  Mouse  of  Walsh  has 
been  givin  special  permission  by  the  WPB 
to  keep  enl'fs  and  pleats  on  until  April  30. 
So  if  >ou  want  to  keep  your  cuffs  and 
pleats,  see  Phil  before  that  date. 
Cashmere  Jackets 

Best  news  of  all.  sa\>  I'hil,  is  that  des- 
pite the  bloek.ide  the  finest  assortment  of 
English  and  Scotch  importations  ever 
ac<|uired  by  the  store  has  come  through 
this  year,  and  for  $42.50,  a  price  25% 
under  the  equivalent  (|uality  elsewhere, 
there's  to  be  had  the  best  hand-woven 
cashmere  jackets  available.  Hand-woven 
shetlands  go  for  S32.50,  and  ancjlhei  novel 
and  refreshing  Shetland  jacket  sells  for 
an  unheard-of  S28.50. 

Present  also  are  the  famous  Lorrainc- 
Haspel  seersucker  suits,  exclusiveh'  dis- 
triLuted  by  Walsh's,  and  .i  ])erennial 
favorite.  Phil  predicts  a  phenomenal 
sale  for  these  since  there  isn't  a  cooler  suit 


made.  Another  Mouse  of  Walsh  ex- 
clusive is  the  practical  Palm  Beach  suit, 
carried  in  si'Veral  patterns  and  shades. 

Not  forgotten  either  is  the  sports  shoe 
line-up,  complete  ilown  to  the  last  moc- 
casin. .N'o  decrease  in  the  popularity  of 
lhe.se  is  e\pi'Cted  this  year,  and  right  now 
there  is  a  liocjm  on  the  rubber  ."ole  vatiety. 
White  bucks  with  red  rubber  soles  are 
still  tcp  be  had,  and  don't  forget  the 
Spaulding  saddle  shoes,  of  which  the 
Mouse  of  W.dsh  is  I  hi'  oid\'  Willianistown 
tlistribulor. 

Bathing  trunks  have  struck  a  gabardine 
and  sailcloth  style  this  year,  and,  though 
he  has  all  other  types,  Phil  predicts  these 
will  be  the  big  sellers. 

Directly  imported  Braemar  shetlands 
in  every  coltjr  of  the  rainbow  make  the 
finest  sweater  ana\'  in  Phil's  memory, 
and,  strangely  enough,  girls'  Braemars  in 
either  pullover  or  cardigan  style  compose 
one  of  the  store's  most  important  items. 
Bright  Tattersalls 

With  vests  out  for  the  duration  bright 
tattersalls  add  much  to  the  Walsh  reputa- 
tion and  not  a  little  sparkle  to  a  dark 
suit.  There  isn't  a  better  morale-builder 
this  side  of  MacArthur. 

A  shortage  of  white  oxffird  for  skirts 
almost  causeil  Phil  a  big  headache,  but  a 
lucky  piece  of  foresight  made  bim  stock 
up,  and,  unlike  most  other  stores,  there 
won't  be  anything  to  worry  about  for  the 
next  few  months. 

But  before  victor>'  suits  come  in,  get 
busy,  and,  along  with  Pearl  Harbor,  re- 
member that  after  .April  .50  no  more 
pleats  and  lapels. 


Bacon  Takes  Fourth 
In  National  440  Race 

.Sam  Bacon,  turning  in  what  Coach  Bob 
Muir  terms  "the  best  race  of  his  career," 
bowed  out  of  college  swinnning  circles  last 
Saturday  with  a  well-earned  fourth  place 
in  the  4-10-yard  title  race  in  the  .National 
Collegiate  Swimming  Chanipi(jnships  at 
Harvard  Ujiiversity. 

Bacon,  who  will  forego  another  year  of 
competition  to  enter  the  Albany  Medical 
School  this  June,  took  his  q:i.dif\iug  heal 
in  5:02.6  and  then  went  on  to  swim  the 
finals  ill  4:58.2,  his  fastest  college  (|uarter 
mile.  Me  missed  third  place  and  a 
national  third  place  rating  by  a  bare 
s:'Cond. 

The  Williams  co-captain  also  swam  in 
tne  1500-metre  race,  retaining  (he  sixth

tory,  there  are  accommodations  for  forty- 
eight  students  in  one  lab  alone,  with  a 
possibility  of  enlarging  and  almost  dou- 
bling facilities  throughout  should  an  even 
greater  increase  unexpectedly  arise.  With 
the  need  of  technicians  critical,  the  draft 
boards  deferring  chemistry  students,  and 
the  profusion  of  jobs  wailing  for  graduates 
of  a  college  with  an  approved  scientific 
department,  the  expansion  may  be  im- 
minent. 

Dr.  King  emphasized  the  high  develop- 
ment in  the  field  of  explosives  that  makes 
its  study  in  college  impracticable,  and 
showed  that  most  industries  demand  study 
in  all  cases  after  graduation  before  a  man 
may  take  over  a  job  completely.  The 
direct  research  that  is  done  at  Williams 
will  probably  be  done  by  mendiers  of  the 
faculty  and  outside  visitors. 

General  Electric  Researchers 

In  this  line,  the  Thompstni  Chemical 
LaboratorN'  was  last  sunmier  thrown  open 
to  a  group  of  scientists  from  the  General 
Electric  Company  in  Schenectady  who 
arrived  b\  bus  daily  for  nine  weeks  carry- 
ing on  a  research  project.  If  asked  to  do 
so,  the  department  will  renew  its  in\ilation 
again  this  summer.

William  W.  Stednian  has  made  a  study 
of  the  needs  of  individuals  in  American

the  effect  of  speed-up  and  industrializa-

ity, religion,  and  job.  He  emphasizes 
what  man  wants  and  attempts  to  work 
out  a  solution  as  to  how  to  obtain  it. 
The  thesis  has  been  written  as  honors  work 
in  .American  history  and  literature  and  his

Crandall  with  him  in  the  vault,  ami 
Heppes  in  the  high-jump.  Jim  Crawford 
and  Ed  Mulcahy  are  the  favorites  in  the 
broad-jump,  with  Mulcahy  also  looming 
as  a  triple  threat  in  the  weight  events, 
tossing  the  hannner,  discus,  and  shot-put. 

George  Sunicrs,  untried  hurdler,  is  re- 
garded as  ihe  pre-season  dark  horse  in  the

Kelly  In  Vaudeville 

Craig's  Wifv,  probably  Mr.  Kelly's 
most  successful  play,  was  written  by  a 
man  who  "took  to  the  stage  because  he 
liked  it";  beginnini;  in  juvenile  road 
ninipanics.  he  then  went  to  vaudeville, 
and  finally  to  writing  his  own  plays.  As 
-^latrd  by  one  review.'r,  "he  came  to  the 
American  Theatre  without  the  heraldry, 
pomp,  an<l  blare  of  a  press  agent's  trum-

The  cast ,  as  released  by  Max  Klowers, 
Director  of  the  A.  M.  T,,  assigns  the  two 
leading  roles  to  Eleanor  F.  Roberts  and

The  museum  was  lirst  established 
.iround  the  three  valuable  Assyrian  reliefs 
which  had  been  presented  by  Dwight  W. 
•Marsh  1842,  who  had  served  as  a  mission- 
ary in  Mesopotamia  in  1850.  The  other 
comparatively  few  works  of  art  were  part 
of  a  collection  given  to  Williams  by  Mrs. 
.lohn  W.  Field  in  memory  of  her  husband. 

From  1927  on,  the  college  and  the  small 
museum  were  largely  dependent  on  the 
gifts  of  alumni  and  friends  of  the  college. 
I'he  college  administration  itself  gave  no 
linancial  aid  for  acquiring  new  works  or 
bringing  exhibitions  to  Williamstown. 
Ilie  money  that  was  donated  was  given  by 
I  he  alumni  and  the  Carnegie  Corporation. 
In  1938,  the  museum  received  the  collec- 
tion of  Edward  H.  Blashlield  for  which 
another  addition  was  built. 

In  the  fifteen  year  period,  the  museum 
has  had  an  average  of  twelve  exhibitions 
a  year  with  4,000  visitors  annually.

Eleven  Pass  Initial 
V-1  Physical  Tests 

Recruiters  Will  Return 
Next  Tuesday;  V-1  Exam 
Date   Changed   by   Navy 

The  Naval  \'-l  recruiting  party,  headed 
by  Archa  ().  Knowlton  '40,  T.  S.  N.  R., 
which  visited  the  Williams  campus  last 
week  to  administer  preliminary  physical 
examinations  and  answer  (luestions,  inter- 
viewed twenty-live  students,  eleven  of 
whom  passed  the  tests  and  are  c|ualified  to 
enlist  in  the  program. 

Ensign  Knowlton,  with  a  doctor  and 
two  assistants,  will  return  next  Tuesday, 
April  14,  for  an  all  day  stay  at  the  offices  of 
the  Placement  Bureau.  At  this  time, 
those  who  passed  last  Friday's  prelimi- 
naries and  have  fulfilled  all  other  require- 
ments will  be  able  to  oflficially  enlist.  At 
the  same  time,  all  others  interested  and 
desiring  to  join  the  V-1  Program  may  take 
the  initial  physical  exams. 

Exam  on  March  1 

According  to  a  recent  Navy  Depart- 
ment announcement,  the  V-1  compre- 
hensive exam  scheduled  for  May  1  has 
been  cancelled.  In  a  letter  to  college 
presidents,  Admiral  Randall  Jacobs  ex- 
plained that  the  program  was  "launched 
too  late  in  the  academic  year  to  permit 
sophomores  to  include  the  necessary  basic 
training."  Instead,  an  exam  will  be  given 
on  March  1,1943. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  faculty  on  Monday 
it  was  decided  to  include  Economics  1-2 
as  an  elective  in  the  pre-induction  V-1 
training  program.  Other  information  per- 
taining to  preinduction  requirements  may 
be  obtained  at  the  office  of  William  G. 
Perry,  assistant  to  the  Dean. 

Among  those  who  passed  the  tests 
administered  last  Friday  are:  John  P. 
Wakeman  '43  (for  V-7);  Raymond  E. 
Ashley,  Jr.,  David  H.  Bradley,  F.  Crunden 
Cole,  Robert  D.  Hostetter,  Steven  G. 
Kent,  Jr.,  Richard  G.  King,  and  Donald 
M.  Lindsay  '44;  and  David  T.  Goodhart, 
Samuel  Hazard,  and  Arthur  W.  Howe, 
III, '45. 


Exam  Holiday  Declared 
For  Princeton  Game 

Because  of  difficulty  in  scheduling 
the  1942  Williams- Princeton  football 
game,  the  Dean's  Office  has  declared 
a  one-day  holiday  Saturday,  October 
3.  The  holiday,  which  comes  during 
the  fall  examination  period  at  the 
conclusion  of  the  summer  term,  will 
enable  the  team  and  some  students 
to  make  the  Princeton  trip. 

Examinations  will  be  resumed  the 
following  Monday.  The  schedule 
change  has  been  made  possible  by 
condensing  the  exam  period  from  ten 
days  to  eight.

At  a  meeting  of  the  Russian  War 
Relief  Committee,  headed  by  Assi.-^- 
tant  Professor  Joseph  E.  Johnson, 
tentative  plans  were  laid  for  a  com- 
niunilx  dance  in  the  Lasell  gymna- 
sium, Juh'  5,  proceeds  of  which  will 
go  to  the  relief  fund.  Other  projects 
discussed  were  an  old  eliilhcs  drive 
and  the  showing  of  Our  Russian  Front, 
a  documentarx'  tilni  and  newsreel  of 
the  Reds'^eaistance  tii  Fascism.  These 
latter  proposals  nia>'  be  carried  out 
this  semester  or  early  in  the  summer.

Starts  on  May  15 

Society  of  Alumni  Urges 
Economy  for  Reunions, 
No     Unnecessary      Costs 

The  Board  of  Trustees  in  their  annual 
midwinter  meeting  on  February  21  set 
Sunday,  May  17,  for  this  year's  Com- 
mencement exercises,  according  to  the 
Alumni  Dfiice. 

."Mthough  the  entire  ConimeneemeTit 
lirogram,  lasting  from  l""riday.  May  IS, 
until  Sunday  afternoon,  will  Ik-  free  from 
any  unessential  ex;ra\agancL's  owing  to 
war  oiirlitions,  the  usual  activities  of  past 
years  will  in  general  he  carried  out. 

On  Friilay  afternoon,  shortly  after  the 
Class  Day  pr<Kvedings,  there  will  he  a 
baseball  game  with  Mass.  .St.ite,  followed 
by  social  reunions  that  evening.  Saturd;iy 
morning  will  be  taken  up  with  the  annual 
meetingof  the  .Society  of  .iMumni  in  Chapin 
Hall,  while  S;itur<lay  afternoon  the 
President's  annual  reception  for  the 
trustees  will  he  given.  During  that 
evening,  the  class  reunion  banquets  will  he 
given.  On  Sun<lay  niorniiii;,  ili,'  Thom|)- 
son  Chapel  will  he  the  scene  of  the  bac- 
calaureate. ( '.raduation  exorcises  will  take 
place  at  three  o'clock  on  Sunday  afternoon. 

.'\lthough  the  Alumni  Office  has  an- 
nounced that  plans  for  returning  classes 
have  not  yet  been  definitely  established, 
it  is  hoped  that  many  alumni  will  be  able 
to  return.  In  accordance  with  the  |V)licy 
of  economy  caused  by  the  war,  the  re- 
turning classes  will  probably  do  without 
bands  or  uniforms  this  year.  Throughout 
the  Commencement  period,  however,  the 
Alumni  House  will  be  open  to  all  grad- 
uates. 

Campus   Management 
Program  May   Start 
In  June,   Says  Linder 

"Campus  Business  Management  is  still 
in  a  state  of  flux,"  said  Fred  E.  Linder  '12, 
chairman  of  the  Alumni  C<miniiltee  in  a 
telephone  interview  Wednesday,  "but 
things  are  rapidly  drawing  to  a  con- 
clusion." Chairman  Linder  emphasized 
that  according  to  present  plans  the  system 
may  be  in  operation  at  the  beginning  of 
the  summer  semester. 

In  a  previous  letter  to  The  Reoobd, 
Mr.  Linder  said,  "1  have  read  with  interest 
the  item  in  the  editorial  column  of  your 
issue  of  April  3,  deploring  the  lack  of  in- 
formation regarding  the  recent  progress  of 
the  Campus  Business  Management  at 
Williams  College. 

"1  am  not  surprised  with  this  im- 
patience. .Some  of  this  delay  was  due  to 
the  illness  of  the  writer — but  since  his 
recovery,  much  has  been  done  in  exploring 
the  matter  of  procuring  a  resident  business 
manager." 

The  Undergraduate  Committee,  meet- 
ing Tuesday  night,  approved  the  CBM 
by-laws  with  the  exception  of  a  provisicm 
for  term  of  office  of  the  student  group. 
This  provision,  subject  to  further  con- 
sideration, was  changed  so  that  term  of 
office  will  coincide  with  that  of  the  Under- 
graduate Council. 


Attendance  Required 
at  Sport  or  P.  T.  3 
Times  Each  Week 

Begins  This  Summer 

liy  D.\vii)  W.  TniiitsTON  '44 

Rich:ird  A.  Newhall,  chairman  of  the 
faculty,  disclosed  Wednesday  that  in 
response  to  direct  retiuests  by  the  Army 
ami  Navy  the  faculty  had  uiMi'iimously 
passed  a  pre  gram  of  cr>mpulsor>  athletics 
for  all  classes  at  \heir  meeting  last  Mon- 
day, This  plan  will  be  preseited  to  the 
Board  of  Trustees  when  they  convene 
next  week. 

3  Periods  For  Week 

The  pl;in  requires  |iarlicip:ition  in  sonv.' 
form  of  athletics  three  times  a  week  for 
;ill  undergraduates.  These  three  periods 
the  same  as  is  now  in  effect  for  the  two 
lower  classes,  were  rccomnieniled  by  both 
the  .\rmy  and  Navy.  Although  no  cut- 
ting arrangement  has  as  yet  been  made, 
both  Dr.  Kdwin  A.  Locke,  director  of 
health  and  athletics,  and  William  G. 
Perry,  assistant  to  the  dean,  declared  that 
they  would  work  together  closely  in  en- 
forcing :'ttendance. 

More  Intense  Athletics 

Dr.  Locke  said  that  there  would  still  be 
P.  T.  chisses,  but  that  iittereollegiati' 
sports,  both  varsity  and  freshman,  woulo 
be  emphasized  more  than  ever.  He  feels 
that  Students  profit  more  from  ti'ams  than 
P.  T.  because  of  the  "discipline,  asso- 
(;iati<)n  with  other  colleges,  and  the  espril 
lie  corps." 

Sine-  ihe  .Army  and  Navy  urgi'd  com- 
pulsiir\-  athlotics.  Professor  Newhall  st;iteo 
that  he  believed  that  it  "should  be  con- 
ducte<l  in  line  with  the  pre-iniluction  needs 
for  toughening  up  recruits.  I  am  hopeful 
that  till-  physical  education  departmen, 
will  organize  its  activities  in  such  a  way  as 
lo  provide  the  toughening  the  service 
wanis." 

New  Point  o£  View 

The  preparation  of  students  for  military 
service   gives   the  ph.vsic.d   education   de- 
partment  a   new    imint   of    view   towards

PARAGRAPHS 

IN  THE  NEWS 


I'lic  same  KniU|)  "(  Amherst  athletes 
that  wiTr  (■iilcrlaiiuMl  in  Williaiiifliiwn 
recently,  fxlfiidcd  a  similar  l)aii(iufl- 
invilaliiin  for  tonight  to  Williams  sport 
stars,  wliicli  was  ilcdim'd  bi-caiisf  iif  the 
conflict  of  athletic  seheilulcs  and  the  pres- 
sure (if  time. 


Strict  Accountability 

From  .Number  I  Hopkins  comes  news  that  the  faculty  has  unanimous- 
ly approved  eompiil.sory  athletics  for  all  four  cla.s.ses.  This  action  is 
extremely  well-advised,  not  only  because  the  armed  services  have  asked 
Williams  for  a  i)rofi;rain  to  "toughen  U|)  recruits"  befor-e  indnclioii,  but 
al.so  because  iii)percla.s.smen  who  feel  the  need  for  exerci.se  will  now  be 
forced  to  act. 

Merely  voting  Ihe  rule,  however,  will  not  make  compulsory  athletics 
effective.  Williams  men,  prompted  by  various  motives,  ask  this  question: 
Will  the  physical  education  dei)arlinent  rigidly  enforce  the  cominil.sory 
program  next  semester?  For  they  realize  that  if  P.  T.  instructors  do  not 
hold  each  iinderKradnate  to  strict  accountability  at  all  times,  the  new 
program  is  certain  lo  fail. 

Last  year  the  |)hysical  education  deparlmenl  abandoned  the  un- 
necessary leniency  which  formerly  made  P.  T.  jirofitless  for  many.  We 
hoi)e  this  indicates  that  the  new  compulsory  athletic  jjrogram  will  be 
striiigenlly  enrorced  by  all  1'.  T.  instrnctors  and  that  easily  evaded 
attendance  chart.s,  too  lenient  supervision,  and  unneces.sary  medical  ex- 
cu.ses  will  not  be  a  part  of  the  new  order.

several   iio.ssitile  alternatives.

contenders,  when  he  clinched  sccind  phics- 
in  the  closing  half-mile  run. 

Although  the  pre-ineci  fa\dritr,  I'cck

10.7,  after  placing  oiil>'  third  in  his  jire- 
liiuin.iry  heat. 

Chapman  A  Threat

( clipsed  sprinter  jim  DeW'olfe  to  win  the 
100-yard  dash  in  10.5  liy  one  step.  A- 
niassing  four  first  |)kices,  in  the  (piarter,

proved  a  constant  threat  until  he  failed 
io  place  better  th.in  fifth  in  the  hanniier-

Martin  39  Reported 
Lost  in  Naval  Battle 
Off  Coast   of  Java 

Jay  Martin  '39,  ensign  on  the  C.S.S. 
LiiUfly,  has  been  unheard  of  since  his  ship 
was  "pracliealh-  smothered"  under  a  hail 
<if  Japanese  bombs  off  ihc  coast  of  ja\a 
l''ebruar\'  27. 

The  Laiij^ly.  a  converted  air  craft 
tender,  was  apprijaehing  Java  with  a 
cargo  of  fighter  planes  destined  for  com- 
bat service  in  the  defense  of  the  Dutch 
island,  whcm  she  was  attacked  and  sunk 
b\'  Japanese  dive  bombers.  A  few  sur- 
vivors were  picked  up  by  the  I'ecos,  but 
iiearl)-  half  of  these  were  lost  the  foMow- 
ing  da\-  when  the  I'ertn  was  also  sunk  by 
eneni\'  aircraft . 

Martin,  a  member  of  Phi  Sigma  Kappa, 
lived  in  Oneonta,  N.  V.  While  at  Wil- 
liams he  was  business  manager  of  the  News 
Buri'au,  and  manager  of  freshman  swim- 
ming. According  to  the (/'((/  he  considered 
Williams  greatest  need  to  be  "more 
teachers  and  fewer  professors."  Martin 
received  the  degree  of  master  in  business 
administralion    from    Harvard  last   June. 

Stickmen  Scrimmage 
Before  Dartmouth  Tilt 

Weaker    «B'    Team     Takes 
Stronger  'A'  Outfit,   5-2 

Coach  \\lioop>  Snively's  varsity  la- 
crosse eleviMi,  under  the  leadership  of 
Captain  Herb  Hoklen,  will  open  its  1942 
campaign  awa\  .-(.gainst  Dartmouth  April 
15. 

Holden's  strong  'A'  team  was  jolted, 
5-2,  last  week  by  Bob, Gordon's  defensive 
outlil  as  the  stickmen  began  linal  prepara- 
tions for  the  opening  match  with  a  practice 
scrimmage. 

B'  Team  Shines 

Running  circles  around  Holden  and  his 
less  cage\'  slicknic-n  were  (iordon,  Sliel 
rimberlaki>,and  Hernii'  Box  kin  at  defense, 
while  Al  James  and  Dave  Brown  shared 
honors  at  the  goalie  slot.  \t  attack,  Hal 
Johnson,  Kog  llubbell,  and  Nip  Mears 
ccMilributi'd  their  share  toward  the  victory, 
while  Dick  Means  and  Ralph  Kenzi 
guarded  the  midlield. 

Bob  Buck,  Bud  Brown,  Ed  .Shefliekl, 
and  Don  l.indsa\-  showed  well  in  attack 
positions,  but  failed  to  stem  repeated  'B' 
team  drives  in  their  hiniie  territories.  In 
the  midlield,  Herb  HoUlen  and  Mit  Hall 
could  not  stop  Gordon's  belter  organized 
outfit.  Roy  Percival  tended  the  goal  for 
the  'A'  team.

Yearling  Trackmen 
Place  in  Cup  Meet 

Horrax  Ties  in  Jumps; 
Baseball,  Tennis  Squads 
in     Outdoor      Workouts 

by  Cii.\uuK  Hhvuu  '45 
Preshman  athletes  took  to  the  out-of- 
doors  last  week  for  their  spring  sports 
workouts  as  the  tennis  and  baseball  squads 
had  their  first  real  practice  sessions.  The 
Lehman  Cup  meet  kept  the  trackmen 
busy  while  Dick  Colman  started  his 
lacrosse  squad  on  team  play  drills. 

Two  of  Tony  Pkmsky's  yearling  track 
candidates  took  over  the  jnnqiing  events 
in  the  annual  college  meet.  Tra  llorra.x 
paced  the  1945  entrants  as  he  took  third 
place  with  14i  points.  He  split  first  in 
the  |)ole  vault  with  Nip  Wilson,  a  junior, 
tied  with  freshman  Carter  Munsie  in  high 
jump,  and  ran  second  in  the  high  hurdles. 
Munsie  also  won  first  in  the  broad  jump 
to  total  9i  points.  Jim  Bacharach,  Tom 
Dohin,  Bob  Maxfieid  and  Larry  .Smith 
earned  points  in  the  running  events. 

TliL'  lacro.sse  men  have  moved  from  pre- 
liminary drills  in  fundamentals  to  team 
and  position  play.  Although  hinipered 
by  wet  ground  on  Cole  Field,  the  s(|uacl  is 
developing  rapidly.  Al  Boiiynge,  Red 
Marshall,  Howell  Nomer  and  Fred  Scar- 
borough are  fighting  it  out  for  three 
attack  positions  and  Dave  C.oodhart  is 
still  the  standout  goalie. 

John  lirown  and  Les  Johnston,  two 
fast-imiiroving  rookies,  are  pressing  Bill 
Nelson,  Pete  Kice  and  Russ  Tucker  for 
the  midfield  posts.  C.il  Lefferts  is  the 
only  \-eteran  defense  man  but  ;ui  inex- 
perienced group,  led  b\-  Art  \orys,  is 
learning  rapidly. 

The  baseball  stpiad  had  its  first  ri'al 
practice  Wednesday  when  Coach  Fielding 
Simmons  devoted  the  afternoon  to  infield 
and  batting  drills.  The  ball  team,  due  to 
open  the  freshman  spring  season  against 
Wilbraham  .\pril  18,  will  ])lay  a  three  game 
schedule  instead  of  the  previously  an- 
nounced two  contests.  A  game  with 
Pitlsfield  High  has  been  listed  for  April  2.3. 
Assistant  Professor  Ro\-  Lamson's  com- 
position court  became  the  center  of  tennis 
activity  this  week  as  the  netnien  gave  up 
their  monopoly  of  the  gym  floor  in  favor 
of  outdoor  work.  Coach  Clarence  C. 
Chaffee  expects  to  have  the  college  courts 
in  condition  by  sometime  next  week. 

Dick  Hole,  former  Kent  School  ace  and 
semi-finalist  in  the  Rockwood  Cup  tourney 
last  fall,  is  the  leading  candidate,  while 
Bart  \'an  Mesdag  has  also  shown  U|)  well 
to  (late.  Chafifee,  with  onl>-  two  of  his 
varsity  men  returning  this  summer,  is 
faced  with  the  problem  of  building  a 
strong  freslinian  scptad  to  carry  over  as 
varsity  material  this  June.

sit\'  diamond  stpiad  this  week  shifted  its 
practice  session  to  Weston  Field  and  was 
undergoing  fnial  conditioning  worktmts  in 
preparation  for  the  opener  against  Army 
a  week  from  Saturda\'.  F'inding  the  pla\' 
not  \el  polished,  Caldwell  has  put  the 
team  through  e\li'nsi\e  baiting  and 
fielding  drills  as  well  as  intra-scpiad  games. 
Hagstrom  at  Second 

In  a  move  to  bolster  up  the  inlielil,  Cald- 
well has  been  trying  the  veteran  Bob 
Swain  al  first  base,  l''ornierly  an  oul- 
lieliler,  Swain  adds  his  two  years  of  varsity 
experience  to  the  sophomore-studded 
iiilield.  Captain  Gunnar  Hagstrom  and 
bullel-armed  Bill  Donovan  form  the 
second  base  combination,  while  Dick 
Knier\  and  Al  Reilly  have  been  sharing 
the  hot  corner  assignment.  "Emery  has 
been  botlu-red  lateh'  by  a  thumb  injury, 
but  he  shcmld  be  back  in  the  line-up  soon. 
Schmidt,  Hayes  in  Outfield 
The  hard-hitting  pair.  Bill  Schmidt  and 
sophomore  Gunnar  Hayes,  have  taken 
care  of  two  of  the  outer  garden  posts, 
leaving  Swain's  position  a  scramble  be- 
tween Jack  Harter  and  catchers  Frann\- 
Dolan  and  Monk  Stanley,  who  may  play 
ill  the  outlield  when  not  behind  the 
bat.  Ilarter's  improved  hitting  and  year 
of  varsity  play  give  him  the  edge. 

Dolan,  Stanley,  and   Bob  Gardner  are 

still    staging    a    lhree-wa\-    light     for    the

Still  uncertain  are  the  fates  of  Jay  W. 
W.  Martin  '39,  C.  Philip  Christie  ex-'40, 
and  Joseph  L,  French  '40,  according  to  the 
latest  report  from  the  Alumni  Office.  Both 
French  and  Martin  are  rumoured  lost  at

1941  Williams  Guest 

la  1942  Glamor  Girl 

Just  a  \ear  after  her  failure  to  get 
a  seat  at  (be  Adams  Memorial 
Theatre  for  the  Williams  production 
of  her  father,  Eugene  O'Neill's  Marco 
Millions,  Oona  O'Neill,  16-year  old 
brunette  was  elected  "debutante 
No.  I"  of  the  1942  New  York  social 
season. 

Ki'Ceiving  her  title  at  cafe  society's 
Stork  Club,  Miss  O'Neill  assured 
reporters  that  she  "has  never  been 
in  love."  She  was  accompanied  by 
three  young  men.  Continuing  in 
her  mode  of  last  year's  hcjuseparties, 
Miss  O'Neill  affirmed  that  she 
"neither  smokes  nor  drinks." 


Heavy  Registration 
In  Sciences,  Dean's 
Statistics   Reveal 

Chem,  Math,  and  Physics 
Courses  Popular  With 
War  -  Minded     Students 

Statistics  released  by  the  Dean's  office 
yesterday  showed  a  marked  reversal  of  a 
trend  of  past  years  towards  registration  in 
the  sjcial  sciences,  as  students  of  the  three 
lower  classes  selected  their  courses  for  the 
coming  year.  The  physics  department  in 
particidar  experienced  an  increase  in 
popularity,  as  219  men  signed  up  for 
courses,  compared  with  101  last  year. 
This  increase  was  reflected  in  lesser  rises 
in  registration  for  chemistry  and  math 
courses,  and  in  marked  decreases  in  regis- 
tration in  the  English,  history,  and  po- 
litical science  departments. 

V- 1  Partly  Responsible 

This  shift  may  be  partially  accounted 
for  by  the  recent  Naval  \'-l  recommenda- 
tion, emphasizing  math  and  physics  as 
prerequisites  for  a  commission.  The  trend 
towards  sciences  was  foreshadowed  last 
year  by  heavy  chemistry  registration, 
which  prompted  the  Trustees  to  vote  the 
addition  to  the  Chem  Lab.  The  number 
of  upperclassmen  choosing  beginning 
courses  in  mathematics  jiuiiped  from  30 
to  102,  while  the  total  for  the  department 
rose  from  157  to  24.3. 

In  comparison  with  these  figures  were 
the  sharp  drops  in  registration  in  social 
science,  language,  and  literature  courses. 
Political  science  fell  the  farthest,  from  .373 
to  288,  while  the  number  of  students 
electing  English  courses  dropped  from 
371  to  301.  Similarly,  history  registration 
decreased  from  25.S  to  183.  The  economics 
department  nearly  held  its  own,  294 
registrations  this  year,  as  compared  with 
313  last  spring. 

Major  Registration 

The  same  swing  was  carried  through  in 
major  registrations,  though  not  demon- 
strated so  strongly.  Economics  major 
registration  rose  from  46  to  49  to  share  the 
lead  with  political  science,  which  fell  from 
70.  The  three  year-old  American  history 
and  literature  major,  apparently  un- 
affected by  the  general  trend,  jumped 
from  35  to  43. 

Physics  major  registration  leaped  from 
16  to  .30,  chemistry  rose  from  30  to  3.S, 
and  geology  increased  from  16  to  22.  The 
mathematics  major  inexplicably  dro|)pcd 
from  18  to  9,  while  English  fell  from  35  to 
31,  and  Fine  Arts  decreased  from  22  to  14. 

Honors  Registration 

44  members  of  1944  registered  for 
honors,  in  comparison  with  51  members 
of  the  class  of  1943  (of  whom  only  33  arc 
returning  next  year)  and  34  members  of 
the  class  of  1942.  Chemistry  captured 
nearly  25%  of  the  '44  honors  men,  as  10 
registered  in  that  department,  making  a 
total  of  12,  or  twice  the  number  last  year. 
The  nimiber  of  American  history  and 
literature  honors  inen  rose  from  12  to  16, 
to  lead  this  field.  Political  science  honors 
fell  in  popularity  from  17  to  7,  and  eco- 
nomics from  9  to  5.  Physics  honors  men 
exftctly  doubled,  from  3  to  6,  and  English 
mathematics  enjoyed  slight  rises.  History 
failed  to  attract  a  single  honors  man  from 
the  present  sophomore  class.

Yale  Press  Prints 
Keller's  First  Book 

History  Professor 

Discusses    19th    Century 
Religious      Regeneration 

{This  review  was  wrilten  nt  the  request 
of  the  editors  hy  C.  Frederick  Rudolph,  Jr. 
'42,  recently  retired  editor-in-chief  of  The 
Record.) 

Associate  Professor  Charles  R.  Keller 
joined  the  ranks  of  book-writing  Williams 
historians  this  week  with  the  publication 
by  the  Yale  University  Press  of  The 
Second  Great  Awakening  in  Connecticut. 
The  275-page  book  is  an  account  of 
Connecticut  variations  on  a  n.ition-wide 
spiritual  regeneration  which  took  place 
early  in  nineteenth-century  Annrica. 

Although  limiting  his  treatiuent  to  an 
analysis  of  the  religious  scene  in  Connec- 
ticut from  approximately  1795  to  1826, 
Mr.  Keller  makes  clear  in  his  preface  that 
the  Second  Cireat  Awakening  was  a 
nation-wide  movement,  resulting  in  the 
triumph  of  religious  faith  over  infidelity 
and  indifference,  which  had  foMowed  the 
American  Kevolution.  The  revivalism  and 
activities  of  President  Edward  Dorr 
Griffin  of  Williams,  which  have  been 
credited  with  saving  the  college  early  in 
the  1800's,  Mr.  Keller  indicates,  consti- 
tute a  Massachusetts  aspect  of  the  Second 
Great  Awakening. 

As  students  of  American  history  at 
Williams  know,  Mr.  Keller  is  not  an  anti- 
quarian, satisfied  merely  with  unearthing 
the  past.  His  first  book  also  has  a  focus 
on  the  present,  and  is  written  with  the 
consciousness  that  present-day  Americans 
arc  also  being  challenged  to  renew  "the 
faith  of  their  fathers." 

The  Second  Great  Awakening  in  Connec- 
ticut receives  its  name  from  the  fact  that 
the  religious  revivalism  which  it  ex- 
pressed comes  second  in  time  to  the 
Great  Awakening  of  Jonathan  Edwards

Johnson  Statement 

Upon  learning  of  the  recent  ilecisiims, 
Joseph  E.  Johnson,  assistant  professor  of 
hislor\'  an<l  chairman  of  thi'  Williamstown 
Russian  War  Relief  Committee,  said  "I 
think  it  is  a  perfecth'  magnifici'nt  action. 
It  shows  that  Williams  students  ri'alize 
the  importance  of  their  Russian  allii^s." 

Russian  War  Relief,  a  nation-wide 
organi/aticjii,  is  purchasing  medical  sup- 
plies, lood  concentrates,  and  clothing  to 
be  sent  to  Russia.  The  funds  ni'cessary 
for  these  purchases  are  obtained  thnjugh 
donations.  ni(]ne\'  obtained  from  benefit 
performances,  and  from  chest  fund  drives. 
Central  Purchasing  Agency 

The  purchasing  of  supplies  is  done  by 
cciinpetent  experts  through  a  central 
agency  in  this  country.  The  supplies  are 
now  distriliuteil  in  Russia  through  a 
Russian  organization,  !)ut  as  soon  as  the 
volume  of  aid  warrants  it,  .American 
representatives  will  be  sent  lo  the  U.  S. 
S.  R.  tosupervisethedislribulion.  Trans- 
portation to  Russia  is  carried  on  without 
cost  to  the  committee  and  with  full  co- 
operation of  the  l'nit<'d  States  shipping 
authorities. 

A  Youth  Division  of  the  Russian  War 
Relief  has  been  formed  in  order  to  bring 
college  undergraduates  and  other  xoung 
people  into  the  program.  Campus  chest 
drives,  sjivings  banks  in  which  small 
student  donations  might  be  collected, 
benefit  parties,  clothes  collectiims,  and 
exhibits  are  a  few  of  the  ways  suggested 
for  youth  participation. 

.Serge  Kous.sevil/ky,  noted  conductor, 
will  give  a  benefit  performance  during  the 
Berkshire  Music  Festival  next  August  at 
Stockbridge.  Plans  for  a  comnmnity 
dance,  July  4,  in  the  Lasell  gymnasium 
and  the  showing  of  Our  Rus-nan  Front  at 
the  Walden  Theater  have  been  made 
tentatively.  The  proceeds  from  these 
entertainments  will  be  donated  to  the 
Russian  War  Relief. 

Traditional    Qargoyle 
Tapping  Ceremonies 
Moved  Up  to  May  2 

Saturday,  May  2  Williams  students 
will  take  time  out  fnmi  final  examinations 
to  observe  the  forty-seventh  annual 
Gargo\le  cerennmies  on  the  lab  campus. 
Traditionally  staged  after  the  Amherst 
baseball  game  on  Menn>rial  Day,  Gargoyle 
tapping  has  been  moved  up  this  year  be- 
cause of  the  acailemir  speed-up  neces- 
sitated by  the  war. 

The  historic  program  will  be  officially 
opened  on  Weston  Field  at  2:30  p.m. 
when  the  Williams  baseball  team  meets 
Wesleyan  in  the  onl>-  scheduled  1942  en- 
counter between  the  two  colleges.  The 
game  will  be  followetl  immediately  by  the 
inter-class  singing  C(mtest  on  the  steps  of 
Je.sup  Hall. 

Before  the  members  of  Gargoyle  leave 
Jcsup  Hall,  the  Grosvenor  Cup  will  be 
awarded  to  that  junior  who  "best  ex- 
emplifies the  traditicm  of  Williams."  The 
program  will  then  be  concluded  when  the 
seventeen  members  of  the  cla.ss  of  1942, 
who  make  up  the  undergraduate  Gargoyle 
group,  tap  the  members  of  the  succeeding 
delegation  from  the  class  of  1943.

NAVY  ANNOUNCEMENT 
TO  COLLEGE  FRESHMEN 
AND  SOPHOMORES  17-19 


You  want  to  serve  your  country! 
Why  not  serve  where  your  college 
training  will  do  the  most  good? 

Under  the  Navy's  newest  plan,  you  can  en- 
list now  and  continue  in  college.  If  you  make 
a  good  record,  you  may  qualify  within  two 
years  to  become  a  Naval  Officer  —  on  the 
sea  or  in  the  air. 

Who  may  qualify 

80,000  men  per  year  will  be  accepted  under 
this  new  plan.  If  you  are  between  the  ages 
of  17  and  19  inclusive  and  can  meet  Navy 
physical  standards,  you  can  enlist  now  as  an 
Apprentice  Seaman  in  the  Naval  Reserve. 
You  will  be  in  the  Navy.  But  until  you  have 
finished  two  calendar  years,  you  will  remain 
in  college,  taking  regular  college  courses 
under  your  own  professors.  Your  studies 
will  emphasize  mathematics,  physics  and 
physical  training. 

After  you  have  successfully  completed  1}4 
calendar  years  of  work,  you  will  be  given  a 
written  examination  prepared  by  the  Navy. 
This  examination  is  competitive.  It  is  de- 
signed to  select  the  best  men  for  training  as 
Naval  Officers. 

How  to  become  an  Officer 

If  you  rank  sufficiently  high  in  the  examina- 
tion and  can  meet  the  physical  standards, 
you  wiU  have  your  choice  of  two  courses 
—  each  leading  to  an  officer's  commission: 

1.  You  may  volunteer  for  training  as  an 
Aviation  Officer.  In  this  case  you  will  be  per- 
mitted to  finish  at  least  the  second  calendar 
year  of  your  college  work,  after  which  you 
will  be  ordered  to  active  duty  for  training 
to  become  an  officer-pilot.  Approximately 
20,000  men  a  year  will  be  accepted  for 
Naval  Aviation. 

2.  Or  you  uill  be  selected  for  training  as  a 
Deck  or  Engineering  Officer.  In  this  case  you 
will  be  allowed  to  continue  your  college 
work  until  you  have  received  your  degree. 


After  graduation  you  will  be  ordered  to  active 
duty  for  training  to  become  a  Deck  or  En- 
gineering Officer.  Approximately  15,000  men 
a  year  will  be  accepted. 

If  you  do  not  qualify  for  special  officer's 
training,  you  will  be  allowed  to  finish  the 
second  calendar  year  of  college,  after  which 
you  will  be  ordered  to  active  duty  at  a  Naval 
Training  Station  as  Apprentice  Seaman. 

Those  who  fail  to  pass  their  college  work 
at  any  time  may  be  ordered  to  active  duty 
at  once  as  Apprentice  Seamen. 

Your  pay  starts  with  active  duty. 

Here's  a  real  opportunity.  A  chance  to 
enlist  in  your  country's  service  now  without 
giving  up  your  college  training  ...  a  chance 
to  prove  by  that  same  training  that  you  are 
qualified  to  be  an  officer  in  the  Navy.

four-month  competition  the  following  fi-eshinen  have  been  elected  to  the

Spring  1942 

This  weekend  spring  in  Williamstown  means  hou.separties.  In 
other  i)arts  of  the  world  —  Russia,  Au.stralia,  the  Philippines  — ■  spring 
means  something  of  incomparably  greater  importance.  There  men  are 
dying  for  the  cause  of  the  United  Nations.  There  the  enemy  wil'  soon 
launch  ofl'ensives  on  a  scale  the  world  has  never  seen.  There  the  dynamic 
of  democracy  will  meet  its  crucial  test. 

We  will  not  follow  five  other  college  editors  in  assailing  their  readers 
for  sjjonsoring  "a  weekend  of  laughter"  during  the  grimmest  days  of 
American  history  since  1861.  We  are  certain  Williams  undergraduates 
realize  that  "somewhere  men  are  using  bullets  instead  of  beer-can  open- 
ers." We  hope  Russian  War  Relief  buttons  will  sell  heavily  as  tangible 
evidence  that  Williams  will  not  forget,  even  for  a  brief  moment,  the  men 
who  are  dying  for  freedom. 

Those  men  arc  dying  to  make  such  happiness  as  we  are  privileged  to 
know  in  America  possible.  They  are  fighting  for  that,  and  all  the 
privileges  of  free  government.  "In  a  weekend  of  laughter,"  let  us  not 
lose  sight  of  our  great  and  solemn  responsibility.  If  we  fail  to  do  our  part 
for  the  people  of  all  nations  in  this  war,  we  will  lose  forever  the  freedom 
which  now  permits  us  to  enjoy  a  brief  vacation.

Golf  Coach  Dick  Baxter  offered  an 
answer  to  student  fears  of  a  golf  ball 
shortage  last  week  when  he  told  of  a  plan 
being  developed  whereby  manufacturers 
will  buy  old  balls  and  remake  them.  It  is 
expected  that  pros  will  work  on  a  trade-in 
basis  with  the  manufacturers.  Baxter 
urges  students  to  save  all  old  golf  balls  as 
a  plan  for  the  trade-in  will  be  announced 
in  the  near  future.

C.  Philip  Christie  ex-'40 

Since  (he  reception  of  the  letter,  Mr. 
Christie  has  heard  no  further  news  of  his 
son.  He  may  now  be  either  in  the  hands 
of  the  Japanese,  or,  fortunate  enough  to 
escape  their  sudden  rapture  of  the  penin- 
sula, among  those  who  reached  the  fortress 
of  Corregidor. 

French  in  Atlantic 

Extremely  vague  is  all  news  regarding 
Joseph  L.  French  '40.  Trained  at  An- 
napolis after  graduating  from  Williams, 
French  was  serving  as  a  reserve  ensign. 


when  the  ship  on  which  he  was  stationed 
was  sunk  somewhere  in  the  North  Atlantic. 
No  conlirmation  of  his  death  has  yet  been 
given  out  by  the  Alumni  Office,  however. 
A  member  of  Chi  Psi,  French  played  foot- 
ball during  his  freshman  year.  His  home 
was  in  South  Swansea. 

Martin  on  Lan^ley 

Also  reported  lost  at  sea  on  February 
27  is  Martin,  a  reserve  ensign  on  the  U.  S. 
S.  Langley  at  the  time  of  that  ship's 
destruction  by  Japanese  dive-bombers. 
The  Langley,  a  converted  air-craft  tender, 
had  been  carrying  a  large  number  of 
pursuit  planes  to  Java  in  order  to  aid  in 
the  defense  of  the  Dutch  island,  when  it 
was  "practically  smothered"  under  hun- 
dreds of  bombs  released  by  the  Japanese 
flyers.  Although  quite  a  few  survivors 
of  the  Langley  were  rescued  by  the  Pecos, 
a  naval  tanker,  the  latter  ship  was  also 
sunk  by  the  enemy  bombers  with  great 
loss  of  life. 

Martin,  who  lived  in  Oneonta,  N.  Y., 
was  a  member  of  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  while 
at  college.  During  his  junior  year,  he  was 
manager  of  freshman  swimming.  He  was 
also  business  manager  of  the  News  Bureau. 
After  graduating  from  Williams,  he  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  master  in  business 
administration  from  Harvard  in  June, 
1941. 

REGISTRATION 

(Continued  from  page  1) 
Most  amazing  increase  in  popularity 
for  inilividual  courses  was  felt,  of  course

registration  for  Physics  1-2  jumped  from 
33  to  65,  for  Physics  S-6  from  12  to  90, 
and  for  Physics  11-12  from  10  to  38. 


President    James     P.     Baxter,     3rd 

arrived  in  Williamstown  yesterday  after  a

his  first  afternoon  in  Williamstown  since 
the  Spring  Conference  by  watching  the

William  R.  Witherell,  Jr.  '43,  production 
manager  of  WMS,  announced  yesterday 
the  results  of  the  first  competition  for  the 
194.5  Production  Hoard.  The  four 
freshmen,  Henry  L.  McCorklc,  II,  Barry 
McGill,  Peter  B.  Warren,  and  J.  W.  Den- 
ver Williams,  wrote  the  adaptation  of 
The  Croquet  Player,  which  was  presented 
by  the  network  last  week. 


Gypsy  Rose  Lee  was  elected  an 
honorary  Pjndita  of  the  Yale  Pundits, 
during  a  recent  visit  to  New  Haven,  in 
recognition  of  "her  humor,  her  intellectual 
activities,  and  especially  her  ability  to  get 
down  to  the  bare  facts."  Commenting 
on  actors  in  general  the  famous  stripper 
turned  authoress  branded  Victor  Mature 
as  "the  most  uncomfortable  man"  she 
"has  ever  seen." 


Two    former    Williams    men,    George 
Brown  ex-'45  and  Ed  Spaulding  ex-'42, 

both  now  members  of  the  Brooklyn 
Dodger  farm  system,  met  as  opposing 
pitchers  last  Monday  when  the  Montreal 
Royals  of  the  Inlernational  League  top- 
pled Durham  of  the  Piedmont  League, 
10-2,  in  an  exhibition  game  at  Durham, 
N.  C.  Spaulding,  pitching  for  the  Royals, 
shut  out  the  class  B  Durham  nine  for  six 
innings,  but  was  replaced  by  Kibler  in  the 
seventh.  Brown  relieved  Smith  in  the 
ninth  inning  for  the  North  Carolinians. 


"Girls  look  awful  in  slacks,"  said 
Wellcsley's  President  Mildred  H.  McAfee 
recently,  but  she  admitted  that  college 
officials  h,id  not  been  entirely  successful 
in  their  attempt  to  force  a  return  to  more 
conventional  feminine  apparel.  Com- 
iT.ented  the  Yale  Daily  Newi,  "Katherine 
Hepburn  is  the  only  woman  who  can  wear 
them.  All  the  rest  resemble  the  view  you 
get  when  you  ride  a  horse  backwnrds."

A  tiny  pin-hole  in  a  telephone  cable  can  admit 
moisture,  causing  short  circuits  and  service  inter- 
ruptions. But  Bell  System  men  have  found  a  way  of 
beating  this  trouble  to  the  punch. 

They  charge  the  cable  with  dry  nitrogen  under 
pressure.  Then  should  a  leak  develop,  the  escaping 
gas  keeps  moisture  out.  Instruments  on  the  cable 
detect  the  drop  in  pressure  . . .  sound  an  alarm  at  a 
nearby  station . . .  indicate  the  approximate  location 
of  the  break.  A  repair  crew  is  quickly  on  its  way. 

To  maintain  and  improve  America's  all-important 
telephone  service,  men  of  the  Bell  System  are  con-

Cap  &  Bells  Scores  Hit  With  'Craig's  Wife' 
Eleanor  Roberts,  Slade  '44  Star  in  Leads 


by  A.  Henby  Hbdukn,  Jr.,  '44 

Cap  and  Bells,  Inc.  took  a  new  lease  on 
life  last  evening  in  staging,  in  the  opinion 
of  this  reviewer,  Its  best  production  since 
the  opening  of  the  year-old  Adams  Mem- 
orial Theatre.  The  mere  selection  of  a 
play  such  as  (ieorge  Kelly's  Craig':,  Wife 
shows  courage  on  the  part  of  the  producers 
— courage  which,  with  hard  work,  has 
produced  something  really  commendable. 
The  very  word  houseiiarties  usuidly  calls 
for  something  light  and  comic;  here  we 
have  an  experiment,  a  play  which  is 
serious,  a  play  with  "food  for  thought," 
yet  a  play  which  has  comedy — a  different 
kind  of  comedy. 

Craig's  Wife  is  the  story  of  a  material- 
istic and  incretlibly  selfish  woman  who  has 
married  not  for  love,  but  for  a  home.  She 
has  married  a  house,  not  a  man.  She  is 
so  "little"  and  so  wrapped  up  in  making 
her  home  secure  that  she  tries  to  alienate 
her  husband  from  his  friends,  and  in  her 
cruelly  subtle  way,  even  to  force  her 
husband  out  in  order  to  maintain  this 
home.  She  is  so  meticulously  proud  of 
her  house  that  she  will  not  let  him  smoke 
in  the  parlor  and  goes  so  far  as  to  send  the 
indignant  housekeeper  out  to  dust  the 
leaves  of  the  trees. 

ScltiiiK  'Appropriale' 

Whether  Crrng's  Wife  is  of  l^ulitzer 
Prize  calibre  is  another  (piestion — what 
1  am  concerneil  with  is  Cap  and  Bells' 
excellent  production  of  this  play.  In 
Kugene  O'Neill's  Marcn  Millicms  the  play 
was  written  to  fit  the  elidiorate  sittings, 
in  this  the  one-unit  set  is  designed  to  fit 
the  |)lay.  The  effecti\ely  simjile  yet 
elegant  setting  provi<les  the  rippropriate 
background  for  a  Mrs.  Craig  and  deser\-es 
the  recognition  it  received  from  the 
audience. 

Happily  last  niglu's  performance  found 
not  one  or  two  actors  deserving  high 
praise,  but  m<iny.  Mrs.  Ciaig  (Eleanor 
K.  Roberts)  played  her  part  extremely 
well.  In  a  naturally  unsympathetic  role 
she  developed  her  selfish,  mean, and  utterly 
despicable  characteristics  to  the  ix.int 
where  the  audience  attained  a  relish  and 
delight  in  her  denouement.  Craig. 
(Lawrence  Slade  '44)  the  "romantic  fool" 
who  takes  so  long  to  see  through  his  wife, 
is  played  with  a  polish  of  almost  pro- 
fissional  character,  reaching  its  height  at 
the  end  of  the  second  act  after  he  has 
disco\ered  the  real  Mrs.  Craig  .old  feels 
the  crushing  impact  of  this  knowledge. 
Proviile  Comedy 

The  comic  touch,  ,so  vitally  necessary  to 
this  play,  is  supplieil  in  al.'undance  by  the 
typically  Irish  housekeeper,  Mrs.  Harold 
(Jane  llatlield),  v\hose  sharpness  of  tongue 
and  hobbling  gait  add  to  the  aniusement 
of  the  aiidience  and  consternation  of  Mrs. 
("raig.  Hardly  less  commendable  was  the 
neighborhood  sentimental  and  outspoken 
Mrs.  Krazier  (Mrs.  Long).  A  palm  also 
goes  to  Miss  Austen  (Elizabeth  Hliss 
Newhall)  for  her  fine  work  in  finally 
bringing  about  the  showdown  beiween 
(raig  and  his  wife. 

With  the  almost  professional  acting  of 
the  greater  part  of  the  play  it  seems  a 
shame  to  have  insetted  the  anti-climactic 
let  down  of  the  young  lovers  scene  be- 
tween Ethel  (Ida  B.  Branch)  and  young 
professor  P'rederick  (John  1".  Morgan  '43). 
Admittedly  this  is  a  difficult  scene  to  act— 


I  think  it  was  unnecessary  and  tended  to 
detract  from  the  continuity  of  the  pro- 
duction. If  the  performance  failed  an\' 
place  else,  it  was  in  the  final  scene  where 
Mrs.  Craig  finds  herself  alone  with  only 
the  house  left.  It  fails  by  the  narrowest 
margin  to  match  the  high  standards  set  in 
the  rest  of  the  play — it  just  seemed  to  be  a 
little  too  long  and  too  slowly  played. 

Cap  and  Hells  has  tried  an  experiment 
in  producing  a  serious  houseparty  play,  I 
think  Cap  and  Hells  has  succeeded. 

HOUSEPARTIES 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Sixteen  haywagons,  chartered  by  dif- 
ferent groups  will  be  clogging  the  roads 
about  town  after  the  play,  if  the  weather 
holds  good.  Indications  were  that  it 
would  be  fine  Friday  night.  Every 
vehicle  within  twenty  miles  has  been 
commandeered  for  the  occasion,  and  will 
be  pressed  into  service.  Professor  Milham 
regretfully  announced  that  there  would  be 
"virtually  no  moon". 

Athletic  Events 

Tomorrow  the  baseball  team  journeys  to 
West  Point  to  open  its  season  against  the 
Cadets,  who  were  taken  into  camp  by  the 
New  ^'ork  Giants  on  Monday.  The  la- 
crosse team,  which  forced  Dartmouth,  the 
New  England  Champions,  into  an  over- 
time before  succumbing  on  Wednesday  at 
Hanover,  N.  H.,  f.ices  Tufts  on  Cole  t'leld 
at  2:30  p.  m.  Tony  Plansky's  cinder 
stpiad,  unbeaten  in  the  last  five  years,  and 
fresh  from  an  opening  victory  over  Middle- 
bury  last  .S.iturday,  will  attempt  to 
lengthen  their  victory  string  at  the  expense 
nf  the  University  of  Rochester  on  Weston 
Field  at  2:30.  The  yearling  nine  plays 
\\  ilbraham  in  its  first  game  at  the  same 
time  on  Cole  Field. 

In  comparison  with  other  years  when 
C.len  Miller,  .'Krtie  Shaw,  and  Will  Bradley 
h.ive  played  to  houseparty  crowds,  no 
name  bands  will  be  on  campus,  as  a  result 
of  an  Undergraduate  Council  economy 
ruling.  Seven  house  dances,  with  six 
bands  playing,  will  be  held.  In  place  of 
corsages,  girls  will  wear  buttons,  proceeds 
from  the  sale  of  which  will  go  to  Russian 
War  Relief. 

Impromptu  Activities 

In  addition  to  these  scheduled  enter- 
tainments, miscellaneous  |ilanned  and 
impromptu  .ictivities  will  doubtless  go  en. 
Softball  games  will  mushroom  r,n  Saturday 
ifternoon,  the  Creeping  Bent  Tee  Party, 
and  the  4  a.  m.  White  Tie  Tennis  Tourna- 
ment will  again  be  held. 

Hringing  the  weekend  to  a  close.  Rev- 
erend Charles  Cdlkcy,  dean  of  the  chapel, 
Chicago  University,  will  preach  the  sermon 
at  chapel  service  in  the  Thompson  Mem- 
orial Chapel  Sunday  night  at  5:30.

Local     Representatives 
AttendOCD  Conference 

Representing  the  faculty  and  students 
of  Williams  College,  .Associate  Professor 
Winthrop  II.  Root,  and  John  T.  Finken- 
staedt  '43  journeyed  to  Cambridge  last 
Saturday  to  attend  "The  College  of 
Civilian  Defense",  a  conference  of  New 
England  colleges  and  universities  spon- 
sored by  the  OCD. 

The  I.SO  delegates  gathered  in  Phillips 
Brooks  House  of  Harvard  University 
sulimitted  reports  to  the  OCD  on  the 
defense  preparations  completed  at  their 
respective  colleges  for  condjination  into  a 
comprehensive  report  to  be  circulated  in 
the  near  future.  The  major  proportion 
of  the  day  was  spent  in  listening  to 
speeches  of  ranking  civilian  defense 
ofiicials  and  in  discussion  groups  and 
panels. 

Mr.  Root  stated  this  week,  that  by  the 
standards  set  by  the  conference  and  the 
limits  set  by  the  size  of  the  college  com- 
munity, the  Williams  ARP  system  was 
more  than  up  to  par,  with  all  essentials 
covered  and  those  things  "not  yet  com- 
pleted, in  the  process  of  being  developed." 

CBM  Joint  Executive 
Committee   to   Meet 

The  Alumni  Executive  Committee  of

The  .'\lumni  Committee  has  set  plans

the  lanky  right  haiuler  chalked  u|)  an 
impressive  record  of  live  wins  and  hut  a 
single  loss.  Hiji  Hoh  C.ardner  will  likeK 
get  the  nod  over  Frannie  Dolan  and  Monk 
Stanli-\   behind  the  plate. 

The  rifjht  side  of  the  infield  will  tie  hi  Id 
ilowii  li\  a  pair  of  veterans.  Hob  Swam, 
for  llu-  \ii>l  two  years  a  regular  oul- 
liekler,  has  been  converted  to  the  initial 
sack,  while  Captain  Gunnar  Hagstroin, 
who  al  one  lime  or  other  has  seen  service 
all  iiroiind  the  diamond,  will  play  second 
base. 

On  the  other  side  of  second  at  the  hot 
corner  and  shortstop  will  be  two  sopho- 
mores, Dick  Emery  and  Bill  Donovan, 
whose  lieldins!;  finesse  has  earned  them 
startinj;  herlhs,  Donovan  and  Swain 
are  the  only  portside  hitters  on  the  team. 

The  outfield  will  see  the  sluguinj!,

Gmiiiar  Hayes  holdinK  down  two  of  the 
pcLsts.  Jack  Uarter  will  probably  gi-l  the 
rij;lu  lield  assignment  (jver  Bill  Ford  and 
iJolan. 

The  Cadets  will  field  an  e.vperienced 
club  against  the  Purple.  Opening  their 
season  two  weeks  ago,  they  overcame 
Cornell,  5-1,  and  three  days  later  pounded 
out  an  8-2  decision  over  Vermont.  Mon- 
day ihoy  kept  on  even  terms  with  the  New 
York  (jiants  for  five  cantos,  before  a

on  the  Army  schedule  before  the  encounter 
with  tile  Epiimen. 

Captain  Hill  Garland,  veteran  left 
liehler,  leads  the  Cadets  from  the  number 
two  slot  in  the  batting  order.  Following 
him  to  the  plate  are  Hank  Mazur  and

Wit  h  only  one  week  of  hard  work  behind 

them,  all  men  still  show  the  lack  of  ade- 

<|uate    practice    and    conditioning.      The 

'  pitchers   have   had   trouble   getting  their 

I  arms  in  shape  and  have  not  been  able  to

number-one  infield  combination.  Andy 
Knox  has  held  down  the  catching  duties 
with  this  infield  group. 

Frank  Davies,  John  Glasgow,  Carl 
Gruber  and  Hank  McCorkle  are  setting 
the  pace  for  the  outfielders. 

Weak  Hitting  Team 

In  the  (irst  of  several  practice  games 
Smith  beat  Quintana  and  the  tentative 
first  team  handily.  Emmet  Herndon 
caught  Smith  while  X'arley,  Tim  Tyler, 
Irv  Fish  and  Bob  Plunkett  held  down  the 
second  team  infield.  Although  a  bit  wild 
and  still  taking  it  easy.  Smith  gave  a  good 
performance.  Both  teams  were  weak  on 
hitting  and  errors  were  frequent  on  thv 
bumpy  diamond. 

Next  Thursda\'  the  ball  team  meets 
Pittsfield  High  in  its  second  scheduled 
game.  Simmons,  however,  hopes  to  book 
another  game  early  next  week,  increasing 
his  schedule  to  four  games.  Hotehkiss  is 
the  final  game  a  week  from  tomorrow. 

The  lacrosse  team  meets  Deerfield  in  its 
only  match  of  the  season  Wednesday  on 
Cole  Field.  Dick  Colman  has  continued 
to  emphasize  position  and  team  play  as  the 
basis  for  his  squad's  workouts  and  as  yet 
has  decided  nothing  definite  about  his 
starting  team.

Rugg  and  Tod  Hunt,  edged  out  Bob  Hen- 
drie  and  Wils  Barnes,  16-15,  ,3-15,  18-17, 
18-17,  Monday  to  annex  the  college  squash 
doubles  championship. 

Cagey  teamwork  proved  the  deciding 
margin  in  the  final  as  the  senior  team 
clicked  in  only  one  of  the  four  games. 
Barnes,  a  newcomer  to  the  game,  and 
Hendrie,  captain  of  the  1942  squash  squad, 
hit  their  stride  momentarily  to  take  the 
second  game,  but  could  not  continue  the 
pace.  Barnes  was  a  last  minute  substi- 
tute for  Dude  Hemphill,  who  entered  as 
Hendrie's  partner  in  the  original  pairings 
but  withdrew  just  before  the  first  round. 
Hemphill  left  college  to  join  the  Naval  Air 
Force. 

The  winners  gained  the  final  round  by 
downing  Art  Lee  and  Bud  Edwards,  3-2, 
in  the  semi-finals,  while  the  Hcndrie- 
Barnes  team  blanked  Frank  Wozencraft 
and  Gordon  Michler.  The  losers  dropped 
only  one  game  in  the  early  rounds  and  had 
the  best  pre-final  record. 


Tennis  Team  Opens 
Against  Middlebury 

Led  by  Captain  Jack  Larned  and 
sophomore  star  Tod  Hunt,  the  varsity 
tennis  team  will  meet  Middlebury  here 
next  Thursday  in  the  only  dual  match  of 
the  spring  season.  Although  the  college 
courts  have  not  been  opened  yet.  Coach 
Clarence  C.  Chaffee  plans  to  have  them 
ready  for  the  match. 

With  five  Icttermcn  back,  singles  pros- 
pects look  good,  but  Commencement  hit 
the  doubles  division  hard.  Hunt,  winner 
of  the  1941  Rockwood  Cup  tourney  and  a 
member  of  last  >ear's  freshman  squad, 
will  hold  down  the  top  singles  post  while 
Larned  will  be  in  the  second  spot.  Chaffee 
tentatively  lists  Harry  McKown,  Ralph 
Dawson,  Wils  Barnes  and  Ed  Reade  in 
that  order  to  round  out  the  singles  men. 

The  entire  s(|uad  is  battling  for  the 
doubles  positions.  All  three  1941  pairs 
graduated  last  June  and  Chaffee  has  not 
named  the  new  combinations  yet. 


Taconic  Golf  C»ur$9 
In  Excellent  Condition 

Coach  Dick  Baxter  reports  that  the 
Taconic  Golf  Club  course  is  in  very 
good  condition  as  a  result  of  the  past 
week  of  rain  and  warm  weather. 
The  greens  and  fairways  are  shaping 
up  well  and  the  entire  course  is  dry 
and  open  for  play.  The  greens  will 
be  cut  before  Saturday. 

Baxter  says  both  regular  members 
and  students  claim  the  course  is  in 
"better  condition  than  it  haseverbeen 
at  this  time  of  the  year." 


Golf  Squads  Organize 
For  Weekend  Tryouts 

Only  One   Varsity    Match 
on    Short    Spring    Card 

Student  golf  activity  began  last  Tuesday 
as  Dick  Baxter,  college  coach  and  pro  of 
the  Taconic  Golf  Club,  announced  that 
team  tryouts  for  all  varsity  and  freshman 
candidates  would  be  held  this  weekend. 

Both  teams  will  see  action  for  the  only 
time  this  spring  over  next  weekend  when 
the  varsity  journeys  to  Worcester  for  the 
New  England  Collegiate  Golf  Association 
tourney  F'riday  and  Saturday,  April  24-25, 
while  the  yearlings  tackle  Hotehkiss  on  the 
Taconic  links  Saturday. 

Qualifying  Ends  Monday 

Qualifying  rounds  will  be  the  best  two 
rounds  out  of  three,  medal  play.  The 
deadline  for  freshman  rounds  is  Wed- 
nesday night  but  the  varsity  limit  has  been 
pushed  up  to  Monday  night  for  the  team 
must  be  announced  to  the  E.  C.  G.  A. 
early  Wednesdaj-. 

Varsity  Captain  Pete  Hussey  heads 
four  returning  veterans  while  Bob  McKee, 
a  freshman  star  last  year  and  current 
college  champion,  tops  the  other  candi- 
dates. Holdovers  Pete  Davis,  Herb  Gay 
and  Bill  Raynsford  all  saw  action  a  year 
ago.  Davis  and  Hussey  were  semi- 
finalists  and  Davis  was  medalist  in  the 
college  tourney  last  fall.  Other  prospects 
are  upperclassmen  Fred  Barnes,  Chub 
Moore,  Mai  Moore  and  several  sopho- 
mores from  last  season's  yearling  st|uad. 

Six  men  will  be  picked  for  the  Worcester

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD.  FRIDAY.  APRIL  17.  1942 


Trackmen  Rack  Up 
I7th  Straight  Win 
Over    Middlebury 

Nip  Panthers,  711-631; 
Hearne  Takes  Three  Ists; 
Rochester     Tomorrow 

by  Boi)  Miller  '44 

Williams  war-riddled  trackmen  gamble 
their  seventeen -meet  string  of  victories 
SaturdaN-  afternoun  at  2:30,  on  Weston 
Kield,  when  the  s(|uad  tackles  the  Uni- 
\'ersity  of  Rochester  who  arrive  fresh  from 
a  decisive  win  over  R.  V.  I.  Boasting  a 
well-rounded  team  rather  than  one  of 
individual  stars, t he  Rochestermen amassed 
only  seven  of  the  fourteen  first  places  in 
their  dual  meet  with  the  Engineers,  but 
scooped  a  majority  of  seconds  and  thirds 
lo  triumph  68J  to  48J. 

Englert  Middlebury  Star 

With     great     gaps     in     the     Ephmen's 
(le  rtcorinn   power   in  both   the  hurdles,   and 

id  javelin,   and  with    Englert   of    Rochester 

ii.t  lurning  in  times  for  the  mile  and  half-mile 

'  "t  which  parallel  those  Brew  Chapman  set  to 

win  those  events  in  Tuesday's  Middle- 
bury  meet,  the  outcome  of  Saturday's 
meet  may  well  be  decided  in  the  linal 
event. 

Hearne  Sets  Pace 

The  highly-touted  Eph  trackmen  chalk- 
ed up  their  initial  win  of  the  1942  cam- 
paign on  Tuesday,  when  they  journeyed 
lo  Middlebury  for  the  season's  opener. 
With  Captain  Al  Hearne  setting  the  pace 
liy  sweeping  firsts  in  the  shot-put,  discus, 
and  hammer-throw,  the  Ephmen  cap- 
tured ten  of  the  fifteen  first  places  to 
iriiunce  Middlebury,  71J  to  63i 
Chapman  Takes  Mile 

Brew  Chapman,  veteran  middle  distance 
runner,  led  the  cindermen  with  smashing 
victories  in  the  half-mile  in  2:01.2,  and  in 
the  mile  run  with  a  4:41 .  Chapman  cross- 
ed the  finish  the  victor  in  the  mile  only 
after  fighting  o(T  a  determined  challenge 
by  Morse  of  Middlebury,  who  clung  to 
him  until  the  back  stretch.  Stebbins  of 
Middlebury  also  proved  a  stubborn  rival 
in  the  half-mile  as  he  dogged  Chapman 
until  he  faltered  in  the  last  five  yards. 
Warner  Peck,  New  England  Indoor  600- 
yard  champion,  led  Stebbins  to  the  tape 
in  the  quarter  in  50.6,  with  Dick  Huns- 
dorfer  placing  third. 

Eph's  Potent  in  Weights 

Showing  their  greatest  potency  in  the 
weight  events,  Williams  placed  three  men 
in  the  shot-put,  two  in  the  hammer-throw, 
and  two  in  the  discus,  as  Hearne  garnered 
three  firsts,  Ed  Mulcahy  delivered  three 
places,  and  George  Huston  added  a  second. 
De  WoUe  Wins  100 

The  widest  margin  of  victory  was 
earned  by  Ken  Moore  who  came  home 
with  an  eighty  yard  margin  over  his 
teammate  Art  Richmond  in  the  two-mile 
in  10:48.3.  Both  veteran  cross-country- 
men led  the  nearest  Middlebury  contender 
liy  half  a  lap.     Jim   De  Wolfe,  mercuric 


Most  Anglers  Catch  Twelve-Trout  Limit 

On  Opening  Day  of  Mass,  Fishing  Season 

Williamstown  anglers  lost  no  time  in  ushering  in  the  1942  trout  season  in 
Massachusetts  last  Tuesday  when  college  and  Spring  Street  rod  and  reel  experts 
made  a  5:30  a.  ni.  foray  on  Hancock  Brook,  just  outside  of  South  Williams- 
town. 

Albert  V.  Osterhout  '06,  gradiiale*^ 
manager  of  athletics,  and  Spring  Street 
merchants  Tom  Walsh  and  Jack  Hendc^r- 
son  were  among  those  on  the  sunrise  ex- 
pedition, as  were  student  enthusiasts  Bob 
Dill,  Sprague  Seftoii,  and  George  Sumers 
(see  cut). 

IVout,  mostly  rainbow  but  also  some 
brook,  were  plentiful  and  nearly  all  of  the 
sportsmen  netteil  the  limit  of  twelve  b\' 
mid-morning.  Tom  Walsh  hit  the  nail 
on  the  head  in  the  Gym  Lunch  at  noon 
when  he  told  golf  pro  Dick  Ba.xler  "O.  K., 
1  have  my  limit  now  and  can  get  back  to 
golf  this  afternoon." 

Gets  Biggest  Fish 

Notable  exception  was  Sumers,  who  had 
to  leave  after  an  hour.  He  brought  seven 
rainfiows  back  when  he  r<!turned  for 
classes. 

Sefton  claims  a  twelve-inch  rainbow  as 
the  biggest  fish  caught  by  a  student,  while 
no  information  has  been  received  as  to  the 
largest  non-college  catch.  Reports  from 
the  Green  liiver  anglers,  however,  indicate 
larger  fish  there. 

When  the  New  York  State  trout  season 
opened  April  4,  several  local  anglers  fished 
the  Kinderhook  stream  below  .Stephen- 
town  with  no  fish  reported  caught.

win,  and  John  Tuttle  added  \\  points 
with  a  three-way-tic  with  Middlebury 
jumpers  Rooney  and  Brown.  George

clinch  first  in  the  pole  vault,  and  pre- 
vented a  Middlebury  sweep  in  the  120- 
yard  high  hurdles  with  a  second  place.

honors  with  thirteen  points.

Williams  Yachtsmen 
Enter  First   Contest 

Two  crews  from  the  Williams  Yacht 
Club  enters  the  Owen  Trophy  Dinghy 
Championship  Regatta  at  Boston  today 
in  their  first  competition  of  the  current 
season.  Junior  Johnny  Fuller,  commodore 
of  th'e  organization,  acts  as  skipper  of  one 
boat,  with  Free  Boynton  as  crew,  while 
Howie  Redficld  and  Hugh  Masters  co- 
skipper  the  second  entry. 

The  regatta,  sponsored  by  the  Inter- 
Collegiate  Yacht  Racing  Association,  is 
the  second  annual  afTair  of  its  kind,  with 
only  certain  eastern  colleges  and  service 
academies  eligible  for  entrance.  Brown, 
the  Coast  Guard  Academy,  Cornell, 
Dartmouth,  Harvard,  the  Massachusetts 
Institute  of  Technology,  Navy,  Pennsyl- 
vania, Princeton,  Williams  and  Vale  are 
represented  this  year. 

The  regatta,  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Harvard  Yacht  Club,  runs  in  two  divisions 
with  one  entry  from  all  competing  schools 
in  each.  The  courses  are  laid  out  in  the 
Charles  River  Basin,  and  the  combined 
total  of  points  of  both  crews  will  represent 
the  final  score  for  each  college. 

Other  regattas  coming  later  in  the 
season,  which  Williams  may  or  may  not 
attend,  include  a  mixed  boys  and  girls 
college  race  at  Brown  University  on  April 
25,  and  a  regatta  at  the  Coast  Guard 
Bowl   in  New  London   May   2   and   3. 

Six    More     Contests 
Scheduled  on  Sports 
Program  for  Spring 

Albert  V.  Osterhout  '06,  graduate 
manager  of  athletics,  announced  Wednes- 
day that  six  additional  contests  are  sched- 
uled for  Williams  spring  athletic  teams. 

The  varsity  tennis  team  will  meet 
Middlebury  here  on  April  23,  and  then 
will  journey  to  Wesleyan  for  the  New 
Englands  on  May  11-13.  The  varsity 
golf  team  has  definitely  been  entered  in  the 
New  England  Collegiate  Golf  Association 
tourney  at  Worcester  on  April  24-25. 

Three  freshman  teams  have  secured 
additional  games,  all  to  be  played  in 
Williamstown.  On  April  23  the  baseball 
team  will  play  Pittsfield  High  School,  and 
on  April  25  both  the  yearling  golf  and 
tennis  teams  will  oppose  Hotchkiss.

A  Break  In  its  inaugural  appearance. 
For  1946  this  column  wishes  to  throw 
its  wholehearted  sup- 
port behind  the  college's  decision  to  retain 
freshman  teams.  The  only  e,\cuse  for 
abolishing  yearling  squads  would  be  that 
there  were  not  enough  participants  to 
make  the  sport  profitable  for  first  year 
men.  But  news  from  Tom  Wood's  office 
that  a  class  of  about  200  will  enter  in 
June  indicates  that  for  the  time  being 
anyway,  there  is  no  need  to  cut  out  this 
valuable  part  of  the  Williams  athletic 
program. 

Some  contend  that  our  varsity  teams  will 
compete  against  colleges  playing  freshmen. 
We  feel,  however,  that  it  is  far  more  im- 
portant, especially  during  wartime,  to 
allow  a  very  high  percentage  of  yearlings 


to  get  experience  in  intercollegiate  com- 
petition, than  to  win  varsity  games.  What 
is  more,  the  present  athletic  set-up  gives 
the  bewildered  newcomers  a  chance  to 
compete  with  students  of  their  own  abil- 
ities. 


Army's  Charlie  Caldwell's  charges 
Big  Guns  run  up  against  a  stiff  test 
tomorrow^  at  West  Point  when 
they  tackle  a  powerful  Army  nine.  The 
Cadets  have  a  well-balanced  mound  staff 
and  a  batting  order  that  would  make  most 
pitchers  shudder.  In  their  three  collegiate 
contests  to  date  the  future  officers  have 
amassed  a  phenomenal  batting  average 
of  .349,  driving  out  a  pair  of  doubles,  six 
triples,  and  two  homers. 

Satch  Lare  will  not  be  without  a  pre- 
cedent, though,  for  last  year  in  the  opener 
against  Penn,  his  right  arm  set  the  Quakers 
down  with  six  hits  and  a  single  run,  while

THE  WILLIAMS  RECORD,  FRIDAY,  APRIL  17.  1942 


Mrs.  Roy  Lamson  Lauds,-'The  Class  of  1942 
-A  Survey  by  the  Editors,"  in  Sketch  Review 


by  Mks.  Kov  Lamson,  Jh. 
By  farthf  most  important  feature  of  the 
April  issue  of  Sketch  is  "The  Class  of  1942 
— A  Survey  by  The  Kditors."  This  lead 
article  is  a  piece  of  work  th.it  the  retiring 
editors  of  a  retiring  magazine  can  well  be 
proud  of.  It  is  a  task  of  enormous  mag- 
nitude, handled  with  a  clarity  and  sim- 
pliciiy  that  Mr.  fiallup  himself  would  have 
difficulty  improving  on.  A  note  on  the 
editorial  page  tells  us  that  in  this  poll 
there  were  (>\er  a  hundred  thousand  items 
to  be  counted  and  evaluated.  In  1938 
the  members  of  the  Kreshman  class  ans- 
wered a  (|iiestionnaire  which  had  been 
prepared  for  them  by  the  Kditors  of  .S'ArtcA. 
The  survivors  of  that  I'Veshman  class  have 
this  year  answered  another  (|uestionnaire 
desij^ncd  by  the  Editors  of  Skrlclt  to  be  a 
"Study  of  Social  CJutlook."  The  question- 
naire is  divided  into  five  parts;  Back- 
ground, Knowledge,  Attitude,  Self-an- 
alysis, and  finally  "Williams  Seniors  Look 
at  the  War."  No  attempt  can  be  made 
here  to  remark  specifically  on  the  wide 
range  of  statistics  which  are  embodied 
in  the  article.  Hut  the  Kditors  of  Sketch 
deserve  congratulations  for  the  fine  over- 
all picture  which  they  have  given  of  The 
Williams  Undergraduate,  and  for  the 
highly  intelligent,  mature,  detached,  witty,

realistic  and  thoughtful  interpretation 
the)'  have  gi\'en  to  the  facts  that  were 
brought  to  light  by  this  poll. 

The  rest  of  this  issue  of  Sketch  in  no 
way  measures  up  to  the  high  standard  set 
by  this  eight  pa^e  study.  A  short  story 
by  Ben  .Schneider,  Jr.  presents  George,  a 
smug,  stupid,  dull,  and,  it  is  to  be  hoped, 
not  typical  Williams  undergraduate,  and 
gives  us  a  satiric.il  picture  of  his  evening 
at  the  movies  and  at  Florini's  (Torini's 
to  avoid  libel)  in  North  Adams.  The 
story,  while  occasionally  effective,  is  over 
simplified  an<l  rather  obvious, — obvious 
except  for  the  ending  which  seems  totally 
obscure,  and   puzzlingly  abrupt. 

Nion  Tucker,  Jr.'s  story  "Rainbow," 
treats  the  rather  conventional  "small  boy 
love  of  his  horse"  theme  without  an>- 
great  originality  or  distinction,  though  the 
writing  is  fluent.  Both  Mr.  Schneider  and 
Mr.  Tucker  seem  to  write  at  a  dead  level 
with  d  fine  disregard  of  such  things  as 
climax  or  dramatic  emphasis  in  the  short 
story.  Possibly  they  consider  these  feat- 
ures passe. 

"Violet  Hour,"  a  short  story  by  C. 
Perrie  Phillips,  is  a  weak  and  unmotivated 
story  full  of  cliches,  unreal  people  and  un- 
real actions.  By  far  the  best  piece  of 
fiction  in  the  issue  is  William  Stedman's 


"Carnival  Time,"  which  can  hardly  be 
called  a  short  stor>'  but  rather  a  neat  back- 
ground description  of  a  carnival.  This  is 
a  stylized  piece  of  writing  and  quite  effec- 
tive. 

Hugo  Jaeckel's  "Open  letter  to  the 
Faculty"  attacks  the  static  world  that 
Williams  College  lives  in.  Some  good 
ideas  arc  imbedded  in  this  frequently  un- 
intelligible and  pompous  letter,  but  the 
whole  thing  could  .md  should  have  been 
put  so  much  more  simply  and  straight 
forwardly. 

Criticism  of  the  poetry  in  the  issue  has 
been  avoided  here, — not  because  the 
poetry  is  beneath  mention  but  because  of 
this  reviewer's  total  inability  to  judge 
the  merits  of  this  form  of  expression.

two  of  his  mates  scampered  across   the 
plate. 

Caldwell  gave  his  sccontl  base  combina- 
tion a  fiendish  delight  Tuesday  afternoon 
at  practice  by  ordering  them  to  heave  all 
their  throws  to  first  wild  so  as  to  give  Bob 
Swain  extra  drill  in  scooping  them  out  of 
the  dirt.  The  former  outfielder  ileinon- 
strated  that  he  is  rapidly  catching  on  to  the 
art  of  covering  the  initial  sack,  as  he  nested 
most  of  the  heller-skelter  tosses  in  his  big 
mitt.

Defense  gins  its  defense  of  the  Little 
Three  title  when  it  plays  host 
to  a  veteran  Amherst  outfit.  Boasting  a 
mound  corps  of  Obie  .Slingerland  and  RoUo 
Smith,  the  Jeffs  have  Captain  Curt  East- 
man behind  the  plate,  Bobby  Blood  and 
Jack  Lally  in  the  outlieUl,  and  Pete  Uudan 
at  second.  All  of  these  plajers  saw  action 
against  the  Purple  last  season.  fJuelan 
was  recently  elected  to  pilot  the  Sabrina 
basketball  team  for  next  winter. 

Wesleyan  has  already  gotten  a  head 
start  on  the  diamond,  with  a  6-2  victory 
over  Brown  on  the  credit  side  of  the  leflger 
and  losses  at  the  hands  of  Rutgers  and 
Trinity  (m  the  debit  side.  Dixie  Howells 
toed  the  mound  in  all  three  tilts,  yielding 
but  five  runs  in  the  two  defeats.  The 
Cardinal  batsmen  have  yet  to  go  on  a 
spree,  having  garnered  a  total  of  but 
fourteen  safeties  in  the  three  games.  [

'Record'  Poll  Finds  College  Advocates  CBM, 
Compulsory  Athletics,  Student  Farm  Labor 

l/y  A.  Henry  Hedden  '44 

A  majority  of  Williams  students  favor  the  new  compulsory  athletic  program, 
yet  lind  1'.  T.,  as  it  is  now  administered,  leniently  enforced,  or  not  at  all.  Results 
of  a  recently  conducted  Recoiid  poll  reveal  this,  and  that  the  students  are 
behind   the   drives   for    campus    economy  and    the   proposed    student-farmer   plan. 

The  REcoiti)  polled  every  eighth"*" 
student  for  its  statistics,  utilizing  a 
nalinnally-knnwn  method  which  is  mathe- 
matically certain  to  obtain  an  accurate 
percent  picture  of  undergraduate  ideas. 
P.  T.  Enforcement 

On  Monday,  April  6,  the  faculty  took 
action  and  unanimou.sly  passed  the  pro- 
posed compulsory  athletic  program  for 
all  classes  in  c  illege.  In  the  face  of  this 
compulsory  P.  T.  for  next  semester, 
student  opinion  shows  that  56%  are 
favorable  to  the  plan,  an  overwhelming 
majority  of  82%  think  it  can  be  satis- 
factorily enforcerl,  but  at  the  same  time, 
5S''/o  frankly  admit  that  P.  T.,  as  it  is 
now  run,  is  enforced  too  leniently  or  not 
at  all.  Only  3%  feel  it  is  strictly  enforced, 
while  42%!  register  the  opinion  that  it  is 
done  s(»  oidy  "atle(|uately." 

The  undergraduates'  disposition  towards 
a  hiking  program  during  the  summer  with 
a  possible  aim  to  "toughening  up  recruits" 
shows  60%,  favorable  to  hiking  for  per- 
sonal recreation  while  a  slightly  lower 
5,S%,  would  be  interested  in  the  sport  for 
possible     P.     T.     credit .

Drive  For  Defense 
Bonds  Commences 

Door-to-Door  Canvass  By 
American  Legion  Aims 
To    Pledge    About     1200 

A  ten-day,  door-io-iloor  canvass  for 
enlistment  of  current  incomes  of  Wil- 
liamstown  wage  and  salary  earners  in 
Defense  Savings  Bonds,  of  which  S370,OOO 
worth  have  been  sold  here  during  the  past 
year,  begins  today  with  the  distribution 
of  pledge  blanks  by  the  American  Legion 
and  its  Woiuen's  Auxiliary.  About  1200 
pledges  are  expected,  since  there  are  that 
luany  income  earners  in  the  town. 
Morally  Binding 

The  pledger  agrees  to  "faithfully  fuHill 
this  pledge  for  the  duration  of  the  war 
so  long  as  he  is  linancially  able  lo  do  so." 
It  is  morally,  not  legally,  binding,  Wallace 
E.  Greene,  assistant  treasurer  of  the 
Williamstown  Savings  Bank  anri  chair- 
man of  the  local  Defense  Savings  Com- 
mittee,  explained. 

Bonds  may  b<'  purchased  from  an\' 
post  oflice,  bank,  or  other  sales  agency; 
b>'  mail  from  the  V.  S.  Treasurer,  or 
under  a  Pay-Roil  Savings  Plan.  The 
government  urges  buyers  to  obtain 
Savings  Bonds  out  of  their  regular  week- 
to-week    income. 

Over  fifty  per  cent  of  college  employees 
have  pledged  for  a  bond  already,  Greene

Annual  Out  Tuesday; 
Simplicity  Is  Keynote 

The  1942  Gulicimnisian  is  scheduled 
to  appear  Tuesday,  April  28,  it  was 
announced  this  week  by  Business  Mana- 
ger Kdward  L.  Eiuerson  '43.  Originally 
scheduled  for  publication  last  Wednes- 
day, the  annual  was  delayed  because  of 
technical    difficulties. 

Hampered  by  a  lack  of  conipets  due 
to  the  speed-up  program,  and  by  the 
unwillingness  of  war  pressed  merchants 
to  adverti.se,  the  Gul  boards  have  never- 
theless pioduced  a  yearbook  which, 
according  to  Editor-in-Chief  Malcolm 
D.  Clark  '43,  "will  compare  favorably 
with  any  previous Gm/."  Stressing  "beauty 
through  simplicity,"  the  '42  Gul  has 
deserted  the  traditional  two-color  format 
and  will  appear  for  the  first  time  in  purple, 
gold,    and    black. 

Emphasizing  informality  and  origi- 
nality, Gul  photographer  Robert  G.  Dill 
'44  has  produced  a  variety  of  sports  action 
shots,  in  addition  to  the  usual  campus 
candids.  A  photograph  of  a  faculty  meet- 
ing will  appear  for  the  first  time  this  year, 
as  well  as  several  new  aerial  shots  of  the 
campus.

Keller  Sits  In 

Charles  R.  Keller,  associate  professor 
of  bistor\',  sat  in  on  this  week's  Under- 
graduate Council  lueeting  in  ord(!r  to 
ask  the  members  whether  they  thought 
that  in  the  event  of  an  air  raid  on  the 
East  coast ,  stop-overacconuuodationscould 
be  provided  in  the  fraternity  houses  for 
500  eliikheii.  Professor  ixeiier  eiiipiia- 
sized  the  fact  that  the  children  would 
remain  here  for  onl\'  one  or  two  nights 
on   their  way  farther  inland. 

The  college  authorities  and  members  of 
the  Undergraduate  Council  have  agreed 
that  provision  couki  be  made,  and  house

mit estimates  of  the  capacity  of  their

sing  on  the  steps  of  Jesup  Mall  and 
the  presentation  of  the  ( Irosvenor  Cup 
to  that  junior  "who  best  exemplifies 
the  tradition  of  Williams." 


Lydia  Greenleaf,  the  wife  of  a  nationalK' 
prominent  profes.sor  of  political  science 
at  a  small  college.  .She  writes  a  book 
advising  women  on  Jloic  In  Command 
Respect  (it  Home,  which  reaches  thebest- 
sellerlists,  and  her  fame  soon  eclipses  her 
husband's,  as  Lydia  (ireenleaf  Clubs 
mushroom  overnight  all  over  the  cimntry. 
This  precipitates  a  domestic  crisis  which 
is  only  solved  in  the  linal  act. 

Mrs.  Lamson  left  Williamstown  on 
Wednesday  to  confer  with  John  Ga.ssner, 
prominent  critic  and  dramatic  antholo- 
gist, who  lirst  reccnnmended  the  play  to 
the  Guild.  She  will  also  discuss  the  play 
with  the  co-founders  of  ihi'  New  Ndrk 
producing  gnjup,  Theresa  Ilelburn,  and 
Lawrence  Langner,  author  of  Pursuil 
of  Happiness.  The  third  act  in  particular 
will  have  to  be  revise<l,  and  a  new  title 
f(mud    for    the    production. 

Produced  Last  Summer 

The  pla\'  was  produced  for  the  lirst 
lime  last  summer  in  the  .Adams  Memorial 
Theatre.  Mrs.  Newhall  played  the  part 
of  Lydia  Greenleaf,  and  Prof.  John  H. 
Roberts  the  role  of  her  eclipsed  partner. 
Warren  G,  Hunke  '42,  and  Malcolm 
MacGruer  '43  were  a'so  in  the  cast.  It 
was  produced  again,  in  a  slighlly-allercd 
form,  by  the  Actor's  Guild  in  Cincinnati 
on  March  3,  and  is  now  undergoing  its 
third  revision  by  Mrs.  Lamsim. 

Mrs.  Lamson  began  writing  plays  only 
three  years  ago,  and  this  is  her  third. 
Her  first,  an  unnanu'd  opus,  has  never 
seen  the  light  of  day,  but  her  second, 
Museum  Piece,  won  the  Dubose  Hcyward 
Prize,  prc.sentetl  annually  by  Dorothy

Compulsory  Chapel 

I  Tlie  Facts 

The  Executive  Committee  of  Student  Goveriinient,  \<>ng  aware  of 
"the  large  and  .swelling  number  of  book-readers,  slcei)ers,  letter-writers, 
and  other  aiiathetic  iiarticipants  in  Sunday  vespers,"  met  Tnesda.y  eve- 
ning with  the  college  elia])laiii,  the  Undergraduate  Chajjcl  Committee, 
and  the  president  and  vicc-prcsiilcnt  of  the  W.  C.  A.  to  debate  methods 
for  overcoming  undergraduate  dissatisfaction  with  compulsory  chapel. 

Two  methods  were  suggested  at  that  meeting:  the  adoption  of  a 
positive  i)rograni  to  make  compulsory  vesper  .services  the  vital  force  it 
shouki  be  in  Williams  life,  or  the  abolition  of  compulsory  cliajiel.  Tho.se 
present  voted  that  compulsory  chapel  should  be  retained,  but  that  a 
positive  program  .should  be  adopted  "to  catch  and  holil  undergraduate 
interest." 

II  The  Profliain 

Thi.s  ijrogram,  drawn  up  at  Tuesday's  meeting  after  work  by  both 
the  ehai)lain  and  undergradiiati's,  will  go  into  effect  June  28: 

1.)  Chapel  will  he  held  at  )!:()()  ]j.m.  during  the  .summer  .semester  in- 
stead of  at  .5:;U),  thus  making  longer  weekends  and  a  full  da.y  of  recrejition 
in  the  open  jios.sible. 

2.)  Each  month  a  special  tojuc  will  be  the  subject  of  four  sermons, 
each  sermon  to  approach  the  vital  issue  under  consideration  from  a 
differeiil    viewpoint. 

3.)  The  first  to|)ic  for  the  .Jul,y  .sermons  will  stress  Christianit,v  in  a 
world  at  war,  .so  every  Sunday  at  8:00  undergraduates  may  be  certain 
that  religions  i.ssues  now  directly  facing  them  will  be  di.scu.ssed  from  the 
pnlpil. 

i.)    Kaeh  Sunday,  the  visiting  preacher  will  be  the  guest  of  one  of  the 

social  gnmps  after  vespers,  and  will  lead  informal  talks  with  all  interested 

men  on  the  ideas  of  his  .sermon  or  on  other  current  issues,  these  talks  to 

be  similar  to  I  he  ones  held  in  all  hou.ses  during  the  recent  W.C.A.  Embassy. 

Ill  ExeciiUii-  Commiltco  Opinion 

The  Executive  C'ommittee,  which  initiated  the  move  to  stiid.y  the 
chapel  problem,  relea.sed  this  .statement  today:  "We  believe  that  the 
])re.seiit  situation  in  Sunday  chapel,  where  an  undergraduate  who  wi.shes 
to  ])articipate  in  the  .service  has  a  strong  chance  of  being  flanked  by  .sleep- 
ers or  book-readers,  makes  religion  a  sham  at  Williams.  We  wi.sh  to 
thank  the  clia])laiii,  members  of  the  faculty,  and  undergraduates  for  their 
efforts  to  evolve  a  ])ositive  program  to  end  this  situation.  We  will  back 
this  program  to  the  fullest,  and  believe  it  can  terminate  undergraduate 
dis.satisfactioii  with  chapel. 

IV   Final  Say 

We  are  convinced  that  the  new  ])rogram  will  merit  undergraduate 
interest  and  enthn.siasni,  not  only  because  of  the  excellent  spirit  in  which 
the  chaplain  and  undergraduates  have  attacked  a  mutual  jiroblem,  but 
also  l)ecau.se  of  the  college's  increasing  awareness  that  Chri.stian  faith 
and  courage  at  all  times  underlie  and  give  force  to  democracy.  Every 
Williams  Tiian  ixis.si'.sses,  or  is  striving  to  ikjsscss,  the  strength  and  con- 
fidence which  arises  oul  of  deep  personal  convictions  that  we  are  fighting 
this  war  not  merely  to  .save  our  own  skins,  but  to  save  all  that  has  been 
mo.st  valuable  in  the  expeiience  of  mankind.  When  undergraduates  go 
to  chapel  this  summer,  tlie.y  will  have  every  reason  to  expect  positive, 
vital  liclj)  in  their  efforts  to  think  through  and  understand  the  great 
significance  religion  has  for  men  who  will  be  fighting  in  the  cau.sc  of  the 
United  Nations.

Four  Strange  Fires 
Occur  in  Two  Days; 
Dairy  Farm  Burned 


Climaxing  a  series  of  four  mysterious 
fires  in  two  days,  violent  flames  dcstroyi-d 
in  thirty  minutes  the  Clover  Hill  K:iriii. 
run  by  C.eorge  and  Floyd  l,owr\,  lo<ate(l 
between  the  Howiird  Johns  )n  restaurant 
and  Kast  l.awn  cemeter>',  just  before  ():00 
last  night.  Two  barns,  two  silos,  and 
costly  dairy  apparatus  were  demolished. 
Two  valuable  bull  calves  and  a  cow  were 
also  destroyed.  The  Wilhamstown  fire 
department,  .uded  by  undergraduates, 
had  little  effect  on  the  rampant  blaze. 

I'-lanies  also  ravaged  a  large  barn,  near 
the  Williamstown- North  Adams  line  on 
the  Adams  road,  just  before  8:00  p.m. 
Wednesd.iy,  while  at  ft:.W  |:.ni.  a  large 
grass  fire  broke  out  on  the  North  lloosac 
road  near  the  Henry  Bratcher  estate. 
Later  a  harmless  blaze  singed  the  town 
circle  at  Colordal  \'illage.

POLL 

(Continued  from  page  1) 

Means  of  alleviating  the  expected  labor 
shortage  on  local  farms  during  the  sunmier 
months  has  long  been  a  major  problem 
facing  the  Committee  on  Rural  Policy 
of  Williamstown.  Student  farm-labor 
movements  have  already  been  inaugurated 
in  many  of  the  colleges  of  the  nali<m. 
Plenty  of  labor  should  be  available  when 
49%  of  the  student  body  is  willing  to 
devote  one  half-day  per  week  and  42% 
would  work  two  such  half-days  per  week. 

Receiving  P.  T.  credit  for  this  work 
would  seciri  to  suflice  for  most  under- 
graduates when  only  28%  indicate  that 
being    paid    would    make    the   dilTerence 


between  yes  and  no.    As  one  sludeiil  puts 
it,  "Money   would   make   no  dilferenci'  if 
I   fell    I    was  helping  a   cauhc." 
C  B  M  Opionions 

The  ilrive  for  campus  econonu'  nuas- 
ures  and  personal  economy  practices 
shows  results  us  01%  of  the  undergrail- 
uales  look  favorably  upon  the  Campus 
Business  Managenu'Ut  plan  which  prom- 
ises to  go  into  effect  iiexl  seiuesli'r. 
Twenty-six  per  cent  of  the  siuiK'iits  stale 
that  they  an-  "uiulecidecl"  aiul  have 
no  opinion  on  the  subject.  As  for  per- 
sonal economy  practices,  XO'-,',  of  I  he 
student  bod)'  points  out  ihal  li-ss  was 
spent  for  houseparties  this  >'ear  than 
last  and  thai  less  expensive  roonjs  have 
been  s(jughl   for  next  seiuesler. 

The  consumer  buying  power  of  the 
Williams  undergraduate,  however,  has 
not  been  appreciably  diminished  by  the 
purchase  of  I'niled  Slates  Defense  Bonds 
and  Stamps.  Only  42%  confessed  having 
bouglu  an\'  such  stamps  or  bonds  while 
in  Williamstown;  the  tol.ils  ranged  from 
$.25   to  $70.

You  can  serve  your  country  best  by 
acting  on  this  new  Navy  Plan  now! 


You  WANT  to  fight  for  your 
country!  Are  you  willing  to 
work  for  it?  To  toughen  yourself 
physically?  To  train  yourself 
mentally  for  a  real  job  in  the 
United  States  Navy?  If  you  are, 
the  Navy  wants  you  to  enlist  now. 
You  don't  have  to  quit  college. 
You  can  stay  in  college,  continue 
your  studies  to  prepare  for  active 
duty  in  the  air  or  on  the  sea. 

And  your  college  will  help  you 
do  it!  In  cooperation  with  the 
Navy,  it  offers  all  freshmen  and 
sophomores  who  are  seventeen 
and  not  yet  twenty,  special  train- 
ing that  may  win  for  you  the  cov- 
eted Wings  of  Gold  of  a  Naval 
Aviation  Officer  or  a  commission 
as  a  Deck 'or  Engineering  Officer. 

How  to  Become  an  Officer 
To  get  this  special  Navy  training, 
you  enlist  now  aa  an  Apprentice 
Seaman.  Then  you  may  continue 
in  college,  but  you  will  include 
special  courser  stressing  physical 
development,  mathematics  and 
physics.  After  you  successfully 
complete  1)4  calendar  years  in 
college,  you  will  be  given  a  classi- 
fication test. 

Aviation  Officers 
If  you  qualify  by  this  test,  you 


may  volunteer  to  become  a  Naval 
Aviation  Officer.  In  this  case,  you 
will  be  permitted  to  finish  the  sec- 
ond calendar  year  of  college  work 
before  you  start  your  training  to 
become  a  Flying  Officer. 

However,  at  any  time  during 
this  two-year  period,  you  may 
have  the  option  to  take  immedi- 
ately the  prescribed  examination 
for  Aviation  Officer...  and,  if  suc- 
cessful, be  assigned  for  Aviation 
training.  Students  who  fail  in 
their  college  courses  or  who  with- 
draw from  college  will  also  have 
the  privilege  of  taking  the  Aviation 
examination.  Applicants  who  fail 
to  qualify  in  this  test  will  be  or- 
dered to  active  duty  as  Apprentice 
Seamen. 

Decit  or  Engineering  Officers 
Those  who  qualify  in  the  classifi- 
cation test  arid  do  not  volunteer 


for  Aviation  will  be  selected  for 
training  to  be  Deck  or  Engineer- 
ing Officers.  In  that  case,  you  will 
continue  your  college  program 
until  you  receive  your  bachelor's 
degree,  provided  you  maintain  the 
established  university  standards. 

Those  whose  grades  are  not  high 
enough  to  qualify  them  for  Deck 
or  Engineering  Oflicer  training 
will  be  permitted  to  finish  their 
second  calendar  year  of  college. 
After  this,  they  will  be  ordered 
to  duty  as  Apprentice  Seamen, 
but  because  of  their  college  train- 
ing, they  will  have  a  better  chance 
for  rapid  advancement.  At  any 
time,  if  a  student  should  fail  in 
his  college  courses,  he  may  be 
ordered  to  active  duty  as  an 
Apprentice  Seaman. 

Pay  starts  with  active  duty. 

It's  a  real  challenge!  It's  a  real 
opportunity !  Make  every  minute 
count  by  doing  something  about 
this  new  Navy  plan  today.

Kour  freshman  si|uads  will  see  action

Williams  Lacrosse 
Team  Beats  Tufts 

Stickmen  Finish  Season 
On  Cole  Field  Against 
Engineers         Tomorrow 

Bouncing  l)ack  from  a  heartbreaking 
7-5  defeat  in  an  o\ertinie  period  at  the 
hands  of  Dartmouth  the  week  before,  a 
spirited  Eph  lacrosse  team  romped  thr- 
ough a  weak  Tufts  defense  to  chalf  up  an 
8-1  victory  before  a  large  housepart\- 
crowtl  on  Cole  Field  last  weekend.  To- 
morrow the  stickmen  will  make  their 
final  appearance  of  the  season  when  they 
face  a  strong  M.I.T.  outfit  here  at  2:30 
p.m. 

Racking  up  tallies  in  each  pericjd,  the 
Purple  ten  heltl  the  outmanoeuvreil  and 
outplayed  Jumlios  scoreless  until  the 
last  minute  of  the  third  quarter  when 
McClellan  of  Tufts  dropped  one  in  the 
Williams  net. 

Lindsay  High  Scorer 

Sophomore  star  Don  l-indsa\-  captured 
hcmors  as  the  high  scorer  of  the  day  when 
he  sank  three  winners  in  the  fir.st  period 
and  a  half  of  the  game.  Lindsay  caught 
the  first  lw<i  as  rebounds  off  the  goalie 
and  returned  Ihem  to  Ihe  net.      The  third 

IS    sunk    on    an    assist.     Ed    Sheffield 
shared  the  limelight  b>'  assisting  on  several 
successful   drives   into    Tufts'   territory.

Ji'ffs  ciiiiic  as  (|uiti-  a  surpriBe  to  both 
ti'am  ami  spectators.  Kortiinately  there 
will  be  another  meeting  with  the  Sabrinas 
on  May  16,  so  that  Charlie  Caldwell  & 
Co.  will  have  a  chance  to  even  matters. 
Hearne  Amherst's  decision  to  drop 
Hits  157  the  hammer  throw  in  the 
Little  Three  (rack  meet  Saturday  is 
doubly  unfortunate  (or  the  team  and  for 
Captain  Al  Hearne  in  particular.  Satur- 
day after  the  Uochesti'r  meet  he  un- 
officially tossed  the  iron  hall  157  feet, 
heatinK  Hrad  Wood's  former  mark  by  well 
over  three  feet.  With  the  hanimer  ruled 
out  of  the  meet,  Hearne  will  not  get  an- 
other chance  to  throw  it  in  collegiate 
competition. 

VVeslex'an  got  in  a  row  in  a  meet  with 
Springfield  when  they  similarly  decided 
to  omit  the  event,  one  of  Springfield's 
strongest.  As  an  equalizer,  the  Maroon 
asked  that  their  weakest  event,  the  high 
hurdles,  also  be  omitted.  The  Cardinals, 
however,  refused  to  consider  this,  running 
the  event  with  only  their  three  timber- 
toppers  competing. 

When  the  meet  wound  u|)  with  the 
Wesnien  out  in  front,  64-62,  including  the 
nine  points  registered  in  the  hurdle  race, 
Springfield  protested  to  the  A.A.IJ.  Had 
this  event  not  been  run,  or  had  Spring- 
field taken  two  places  in  the  hammer, 
they  would  have  won  the  meet.       Omar

trackmen  to  their  eighteenth  consecutive 
triumph  Saturday  on  Weston  Field,  when 
he  chalked  up  eleven  points  as  the  team 
downed  Kochester  University,  68  to  58. 
I'oiling  the  Rochesternien  in  their  attempt 
to  snap  the  four-year  Purple  streak,  the 
cindcrmen  were  hardpressed  as  the  lead 
zig-zagged  back  and  forth  and  won  out 
only  in  the  final  event  by  sweeping  the 
broad-jump. 

Assuming  an  early  lead  as  Mason, 
Winter,  and  HofT  took  all  places  in  the 
120-yard  high  hurdles,  the  Rochesternien 
continued  to  pile  ii|i  the  margin  when  Keil 
won  the  100-yard  dash  from  Jim  De  Wolfe, 
in  10.4.  Urew  Chapman  turned  the  tide, 
however,  as  he  paced  off  a  4:.33.2  mile  to 
trot  home  an  easy  winner  over  Englert  of 
Rochester. 

I'eck  Wins  Qiiiirler 
Warner  Peck  stepped  up  his  quarter 
mile  time  to  50.2,  in  winning  by  five  yards 
o\er  Rochester's  Bruckel,  with  Dick 
Hunsdorfer  taking  third.  Setting  his 
own  pace.  Ken  Moore  won  handily  in 
the  two-mile,  while  Art  Richmond  put 
up  a  furlong  sprint  to  shake  off  McCowen 
of  Rochester,  and  finish  one  foot  back  in 
second  place. 

Hunsdorfer,  fleet-footed  sophomore, 
skimmed  over  the  220-yard  low  hurdles  to 
nip  Zinter  of  Rochester  for  first  place 
Increasing  Williams'  one  point  lead.  Chap- 
man turned  in  a  1.59.2  half-mile,  while 
Warner  Peck  caught  Englert  at  the  start 
of  the  last  220,  and  clung  to  second  place 
by  a  few  feet.  Bruckel  and  Keil  kept 
Rochester  in  the  meet  as  they  captured 
one-two  in  the  220yard  dash,  with  Paul 
Heppes  taking  third. 

Hearne  Takes  Two  Events 
In  the  field  events,  Hearne,  hard- 
pressed  by  Hennrick  of  Rochester,  put 
the  shot  forty-four  feet  eight  and  one- 
quarter  inches,  for  his  season's  best.  The 
massive  weight  man  also  flung  the  discus 
136  feet  8  inches,  for  a  double  win,  while 
Ed  Mulcahy  contributed  second  place  by 
out  -tossing   Hennrick. 

Schongalla  of  Rochester  heaved  the 
javelin  173  feet  2  inches,  with  Hearne 
taking  third  for  his  eleventh  point.  Nip 
Wilson  outdid  himself  with  a  magnificent 
vault  to  clear  eleven  feet  in  winning  the 
pole  vault,  Rochester  placing  second  and 
third. 

Rochester  Wins  Hi^li  Jump 
In  the  high-jump,  Zinter  of  Rochester 
cleared  five  feet  eight  inches  to  beat  Tattle, 
Heppes,  and  Crandall  who  tied  for 
second.  Zinter  also  tallied  eleven  points 
in  the  meet,  with  his  two  seconds  in  the 
hurdles.  With  things  still  nip  and  tuck, 
Jim  Crawford,  sophomore  broad-jumper.

walked  to  a  0-6  win  over  Pittsfield  High 
yesterday.  Eight  straight  free  passes  at 
the  expense  of  three  high  school  hurlers 
pushed  across  si.x  runs  in  the  sixth  inning

No.  41 


U.  C.  Assumes  Sole 
Control  Over  New 
DrivingRegulations 

Freshmen,  Sophomores 
Must  Obtain  Permits 
to   Keep   Cars   in   Town 

by  Philip  K.  Hastings  '44 

Beginning  next  semester,  the  Under- 
graduate Council  will  have  complete 
responsibility  for  enforcing  all  college 
driving  rules  and  for  initiating  whatever 
legislation  it  believes  "proper  to  the 
t'xisting  situation." 

According  to  Robert  R.  Kittredge  '4.S, 
president  of  the  U.  C,  "The  preceeding 
Undergraduate  Councils  have  for  one 
reason  or  another  refused  to  accept  this 
responsibility,  but  we  feel  that  to  become 
an  active  body,  this  step  is  a  necessary 
one." 

Offenders  of  the  driving  rules  will  be 
brought  before  the  Driving  Committee  of 
the  Undergraduate  Council  where  their 
individual  cases  will  be  considered.  If 
there  is  not  sufificient  reason  for  the  viola- 
tion, the  penalty  will  be  imposed  by  this 
body  and  the  Dean's  Office  will  be  notified 
as  to  the  decision. 

The  Driving  Committee  under  the 
chairmanship  of  William  A.  Klopman 
includes  M.  Carter  Hall,  Allan  G.  James, 
Wilson  H.  Prophet  Jr.,  and  Robert  H. 
Kittredge  (I'x-offkio) . 

'Will  Deal  Severely' 

Regarding  freshman  and  sophomore 
ilriving,  Kittredge  issued  the  following 
statement:  "In  assuming  this  responsi- 
bility we  feel  that  freshmen  and  sopho- 
mores should  be  discouraged  from  bringing 
cars  to  Willi,->mstown.  If  freshmen  and 
sophomores  keep  up  driving  at  the  present 
rate,  they  will  be  dealt  with  severely.  It 
is  our  desire  to  issue  a  warning  now-,  be- 
cause there  will  be  none  later." 

At  the  Undergraduate  Council's  meeting 
last  Monday,  a  plan  for  selecting  cheer- 
leaders was  proposed  and  passed.  The 
men  are  to  be  chosen  from  the  junior  class 
by  the  Athletic  Council  and  the  senior 
cheerleaders.  Under  the  present  system, 
only  the  senior  cheerleaders  make  the 
choice.

Air  Corps  Starts 
New  Training  Plan 

Cadets  Who  Enlist  May 
FinishCollege  Education ; 
System   Similar   To  V-7 

by  H.  Bruce  McClellan  '45 
As  a  result  of  collaboration  between  the 
Army  Air  Forces  and  representative 
college  officials,  the  Army  Air  Corps  has 
initiated  a  plan  similar  to  the  Naval  V-1, 
V-5,  and  V-7  deferred  training  programs. 
The  Aviation  Cadet  training  program  is 
designed  to  obtain  a  very  large  number  of 
Aviation  Cadets  with  the  least  possible 
disruption  in  the  nation's  educational 
system.   ■ 

May   Continue   College 
The  plan  is  based  on  a  re-classification 
of  the  men  now  in  college.     Men  in  good 
standing  in  any  accredited  college  will  be 
enlisted  with  the  provision  that  they  con- 
tinue   their    colleg;e    education.     College 
men  who  do  not  expect  to  continue  their 
education  beyond  the  present  academic 
year  will   be   accepted   immediately   for 
enlistment  in  the  Air  Forces  Reserve. 
In  line  with  the  new  program  the  Air

Williams  Loses  First  Track  Meet  In  Four 
Years  as  Sabrinas  Take  Little  Three  Title 

Amherst's  Captain  Clint  Scharff  whirled  off  two  wins  in  the  dashes  Saturday  on 
Pratt  Field  to  set  the  pace  as  the  Lord  Jeffs  dislodged  the  Little  Three  track 
crown  from  the  Ephmen  for  the  first  time  in  five  years.  Sweeping  seven  firsts  and 
tying  for  an  eighth,  the  Sabrinas  also  piled  up  ample  seconds,  thirds,  and  fourths,  to 
triumph  in  the  first  triangular  Little  Three  track  meet,  63  2/3  to  47  for  Wil- 
liams, and  43  1/3  for  Weslevan.    This  is  the  first  Purple  track  loss  in  four  years. 

Burymg  their  opponents  under  a  deluge 
of  power,  the  Sabrinas  made  the  outcome 
of  the  meet  apparent  midwaj-  through  the 
afternoon  as  Cub  Gardiner,  sophomore 
ace,  captured  three  events  for  individual 
scoring  honors,  and  \'ernc  Williams  out- 
tossed  Captain  Al  Hearne  in  the  shot-put 
and  discus.  Amherst's  three  stars  scored 
almoiit  one-qu.irter  of  all  the  points 
between  them. 

Brew  Chapman,  only  Eph  double- 
winner,  outstripped  the  field  in  the  mile 
in  4:41.4,  and  then  teamed  with  Warner 
Peck  to  take  one-two  in  the  half-mile  in 
1 :58.3.  Peck  burned  up  the  cinders  in 
eclipsing  \'an  Doren  of  Wesleyan  in  the 
quarter-mile,  in  50.6,  with  Paul  Heppes 
and  Dick  Ilunsdorfer  adding  a  third  and 
fourth  to  the  Eph  total. 

Gardiner  Leaps  22'  2  3/4" 

Easily  the  most  outstanding  performer 
in  Saturday's  meet,  Gardiner  of  Amherst 
leaped  22  feet  2  3/4  inches  in  the  broad- 
jump  to  eclipse  Jim  Crawford,  Willianis' 
lone  qualifier,  who  placet!  second.  Step- 
ping over  the  220->'ard  low  hurdles  to  a 
new  track  record  in  24.7,  Gardiner  added 
a  victory  in  the  120-yard  high  hurdles  to 
make  up  his  fifteen  point  total.  Schiirff 
of  Amherst  flashed  home  the  winner  in  the 
100-yard  dash  in  10.1  with  Jim  DeWolfe 
taking  third,  while  he  also  nosed  out  Van 
Doren  of  Wesleyan  in  the  220-yard  dash 
with  DeWolfe  adding  another  third  and 
Hays  Bownc,  a  fourth. 

High-lighting  the  Purple  performances 
was  the  pole-vaulting  of  Nip  Wilson  who 
vied  with  Kammer  of  Wesleyan  and 
finally  tied  at  12  feet  2  7/8  inches,  his 
season's  best  vault.  Shut-out  in  the 
javelin,  the  high-jump,  and  both  hurdles, 
the  Ephmen  tallied  a  third  and  fourth  in

Chi  Psi  Wins  Softball 
And  Intramural  Cup 

With  the  interfraternity  competition 
slated  to  be  concluded  during  exam  week, 
Chi  Psi  has  already  clinched  the  intra- 
mural cup,  with  Delta  Phi  and  the  Betes 
running  close  behind.  The  scrappy  Chi- 
psi  Softball  club"  rallied  in  the  last  half 
of  the  se\enth  inning  Tuesday  to  nose  out 
the  D.  U.'s,  4-3,  for  the  college  champion- 
ship, while  the  Betes  earned  a  second  to 
the  Garfield  Club  in  the  track  meet  a  week 
ago  yesterday. 

The  Chi  Psis  emerged  from  the  playoffs 
of  the  Softball  tourney  with  three  wins. 
W'hilc  Delta  I'psilon,  another  lesiguc 
winner,  was  close  behind  with  a  |)air  of 
victories.  The  Phi  Delts  scraped  up  a 
triumph  over  the  .Saints,  who  suffered 
defeat  at  the  hands  of  all  three  of  the 
other  league  winners. 

Club  Wins  2  Firsts 

In  track  the  Garfield  Club  carried  off 
the  honors  with  33  l/2  points,  picking  up 
firsts  in  the  mile  and  the  440,  a  second,  and 
three  thirds.  The  Betes  racked  up  24 
points  for  the  second  slot,  while  the  Kaps 
snatched  a  close  third. 

The  Chi  Psis  and  the  Betes  have  also 
forged  ahead  in  the  golf  tournament.  The 
Chi  Psis  will  meet  the  Phi  Sigs  on  the 
links  in  the  sami-finals,  and  the  Betes  will 
tee  off  against  Delta  Upsilon  in  the  other 
semi-final  bracket  tWs  weekend. 

Ping  pong  will  be  finished  sometime 
next  week.  At  present  Chi  Psi  is  the  only 
team  advanced  to  the  final  round. 


Gargoyle  Taps  20 
In  First  Ceremony 
Not  Held  on  30th 

Traditional  Date  Gives 
Way  to  Speed -Up,  as 
James      Receives      Cup 

The  Re(;oud  Ihnnks  Gargoyle  for  dele- 
gating one  of  ils  members  lo  write  the  follow- 
ing article,  and  to  supervise  in  complete 
secrecy  the  sections  of  this  paper  relating  lo 
the  Gargoyle  elections.  Without  Gargoyle's 
cooperation,  this  special  issue  of  The 
Record  would  have  been  impossible, 
inasmuch  as  it  went  to  press  Thursday  night. 
The  traditional  Memorial  Day  tapping 
date  was  discarded  for  the  first  time  in  its 
history  toda>'  by  Gargo\ie,  as  the  senior 
honorary  society  chose  its  forty-eighth 
delegation  from  the  lab  fence  late  this 
afternoon.  Forced  to  relinc|uish  the  holi- 
day date  because  of  the  accelerated  war 
curriculum.  Gargoyle  took  for  the  third 
successive  \'ear  a  full  complement  of 
twenty  members. 

Gargoyle  President  Robert  B.  Swain, 
Jr.  '42  began  the  tapping  when  he  took 
Robert  B.  Kittredge  '43  from  the  fence, 
following  the  class  singing  contests  and  the 
awarding  of  the  Grosvenor  Cup  to  Alan  G. 
James  '43.  The  cup,  awarded  by  the 
Undergraduate  Council,  was  presented  to 
James  for  being  that  m<'mber  of  the  junior 
class  who  "best  exemplifies  the  traditions 
of  Williams." 

Founded  in  1895 
Not  since  the  last  war  has  the  traditional 
ceremony  been  held  except  under  the 
customary  rules  of  procedure  set  down 
when  the  first  announcement  of  the  new 
society  appeared  in  the  Williams  Weekly 
of  May  30,  1895.  In  announcing  the 
pi»rpo«^('  of  the  soriet\',  its  Mn<lergradnate 
founders  said  at  thai  lime  that  "the  object 
of  this  organization  shall  be  to  discuss 
college  matters,  and  lake  active  steps  for 
the  advancement  of  Williams  in  every 
branch  of  college  life  and  work,  and  to 
exert  itself  against  an\thing  which  it 
considers  detrimental  to  such  advance- 
ment." 

The  announcement  continued,  "Gar- 
goyle shall  consist  of  nut  more  than  20 
members  chosen  from  each  Junior  Class  at 
a  public  election  by  the  active  Senior 
members  on  the  30th  of  Ma\'.  Those  men 
shall  be  chosen  each  \ear  who  are  con- 
sidereil  to  have  the  welfare  and  reputation 
of  the  college  at  heart,  and  who  have 
shown  in  esery  way  by  their  college  life  a 
desire  and  ability  to  prcmiote  the  best 
interests  of  Williams." 

There  follows  a  list  of  the  new  members, 
and  the  names  of  the  senior  Gargoyles  who 
tapped  iheni.  In  compliance  with  a  1932 
Gargoyle  ruling,  the  order  of  tapping  was 
determined  by  lot.  R<'duced  to  sixteen 
b>'  the  absence  of  one  member  and  the 
withdrawal  from  college  of  three  others, 
each  of  the  four  oflicers  of  retiring  Gar- 
goyle tapped  two  men  this  afternoon. 
John  J.  Daly  and  David  S.  Maclay,  both 
tapped  last  year,  are  now  ensigns  in  the 
United  States  Naval  Reserve,  and  Robert 
Tally  is  in  training  for  a  commission  in  the 
Army  Signal  Corps.

The  U.  C.  Takes  Over 

Tlic  U.  C.'s  decision  to  assume  complete  responsibility  for  making 
and  enforcing  college  drivinf.'  iiiles  .sets  a  new  high  for  \Yilliams  student 
government.  The  satisfactory  ilischarge  of  this  i-esponsibility  will  start 
the  1913  Council  well  on  its  way  towards  becoming  the  most  fo.'ceful 
and  effective  student-governing  body  in  college  history. 

The  no-di'ive-in-town  rule  has  been  constantly  violated  by  certain 
upijei'ciassnien  during  recent  weeks.  This  indicates  that  the  Driving 
Committee  faces  a  difficult  problem  in  discovering  and  convicting  future 
violator.s,  first  because  it  is  often  impossible  for  one  man  to  witness  the 
beginning  and  end  of  an  ii])])crclassman's  driving  within  campus  limits; 
and  second,  because  u])perelass  violators  need  merely  state  a  supposed 
out-of-town  destination,  and  the  Driving  Committee,  lacking  other 
evidence,  must  accept  the  false  excuse.  Freshmen  and  sophomores,  of 
course,  ciinnot  escape  conviction,  because  their  class  affiliations  alone 
condeinii  them  if  they  are  caught  violating  the  rule.  We  suggest  that  the 
Driving  Committee  relea.sc  windshield  stickers  for  all  cars  having  in-town 
driving  permission;  these  markings  will  assist  the  committee  in  spotting 
and  convicting  illegal  uppcrclass  drivers. 

Constant  violations  of  the  college  driving  rules  by  upperclassmen  will 
make  a  difficult  job  for  the  Driving  Committee,  but  still  worse,  will  do 
much  to  discredit  this  present  gain  of  student  government.  The  U.  C, 
which  now  possesses  a  real  opportunity  to  prove  undergraduates  are 
capable  of  governing  their  own  affairs,  deserves  the  cooperation  of  every 
man  who  wants  his  leaders  to  have  a  larger  share  in  the  making  and  en- 
forcing of  college  rules.

No  Ceremony  in  1918 

Undergraduate   activities   of   Gargoyle 

were  almost  conipleteh'  suspended   from 

May    30,    1917,    to   February    26,    1919, 

although    delegations    were   chosen    each 

year.   Before  the  war  ended  every  member 

of  the  1917    Gargoyle   was  in  the  service 

of  his  country,  and  several  saw  service 

overseas.     Faculty  members  of  Gargoyle, 

including   Karl   E.   Weston,    William    H. 

Doughty,  James  B.  Pratt,  and  Brainerd 

Mears,  kept  the  society  alive  during  the 

two  years  of  the  war.     When  the  Class  of 

1919   delegation    was   announced   in    the 

columns  of  The  Record,  instead  of  at  the 

traditional  public  election,   only  .six  of  the 

twenty  new  men  were  in  college,  and  there 

was  but  one  member  of  the  1918  delegation 

on  hand.

DRIVING 


(Continued  fropi  page  1) 
Drivinft  Rules 

I.  There  is  no  cirivinaforfreshmenorsophoinores 
wliile  collcRc*  is  in  session.  Tliey  nuist  get 
permission  from  tlie  cliainnan  of  tlie  under- 
graduate Driving  Committee  to  bring  a  car 
to  Williamstown.  It  must  lie  understood 
tliat  tlie  restriction  on  fresliinen  and  sopli- 
more  driving  applies  to  regions  outside  of 
Williamstown  as  well  as  to  tlie  town  itself. 

II.  There  shall  he  no  driving  for  juniors  and 
seniors  in  and  about  Williamstown  while 
college  is  in  session.  We  feel  that  such  un- 
necessary driving  is  an  extravagance  not  in 
conformity  with  existing  conditions.  By 
saying  that  there  shall  be  no  driving  in 
Williamstown,  we  mean  to  eliminate  also  un- 
necessary driving  around  town  after  having 
come  from  some  outside  destination.  Also 
the  Taconic  Golf  Club  and  the  liraehead  Inn 
are  not  exceptions  to  this  rule. 

The  following  are  exceptions  to  tbis  rule: — 

1.  Driving  to  the  Williamstown  railroad 
station. 

2.  Driving  for  managerial  coinpets  if  they 
have  been  granted  permission  by  the 
Driving  Committee  of  the  Undergrad- 
uate Council.  This  permission  is  to  be 
granted  only  upon  application  by  the 
manager  of  the  sport  or  competition  in 
ciuestion. 

3.  Driving  for  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  and  Delta 
Phi  providing  that  they  park  their  cars 
by  Jesup  Hall  and  do  not  drive  anywhere

Eighth  Inning  Rally 
Upsets  Purple,  4-3 

Providence  Bunches  Pair 
of  Doubles  With  Error, 
Balk    to    Gain    Decision 

A  pair  of  doubles,  an  outlitltl  error,  and 
Kd  Callahan's  balk  combined  to  bring  two 
runs  across  the  plate  in  the  last  of  the 
eiiihth  inning  a  week  ago  yesterday  at 
IVovidence,  giving  Providence  College  a 
4-3  verdict  over  the  Purple. 

Holding  the  P'riars  to  but  three  bingles 
for  the  first  seven  frames,  Callahan,  in  his 
opening  mound  appearance  this  spring, 
weakened,  allowing  the  home  forces  to 
break  the  existing  2-2  deadlock.  The 
Purple  spurted  in  the  top  of  the  ninth  to 
come  within  a  run  of  knotting  the  count. 
With  two  out  Jack  Harter  rapped  out  an 
infield  hit,  and  when  Biib  Gardner  lashed 
uHreniendous  triple  to  left,  he  completed 
I  he  circuit,  'fhc  game  ended  abruptly 
when  the  left  fielder's  relayed  peg  nipped 
(lardner  who  had  over  run  third. 
Two-Base  Hit 

The  Ephnien  opened  the  scoring  in  the 
fourth.  Al  Reilly  beat  out  an  infield  hit, 
took  second  on  Hob  Swain's  sacrifice,  and 
came  home  on  Gunnar  Hayes'  double. 
Hayes  tallied  the  second  run  on  Bill 
Donovan's  safety  to  right. 

Providence  came  back  in  its  half  of  the 
frame  to  score.  Lee  walked,  stole  second, 
wi'iit  to  third  on  a  passed  ball,  and  came 
home  on  Zabek's  roller  to  Reilly. 

'I'he  Friars  added  another  in  the  sixth. 
Lee  again  started  it  oflf  with  a  double  to 
right.  Taking  third  on  an  infield  grounder, 
lie  scared  the  tying  run  on  a  long  fly  to 
Hayes. 

I'hen  in  the  eighth  Crowley  doubled, 
scoring  on  Zabek's  second  safety,  a  two- 
bagger  to  center.  Taking  third  on  Hayes' 
error  on  the  hit,  Zabek  scored  on  Calla- 
han's balk.

The  Greatest  Air  Army  in  the  World 


NOW.FOR  COLLEGE  MEN-A  NEW 
OFHCERS'  TRAINING  PLAN 


ir  New  Deferred  Service  Plan  Allows  You  to  Continue  Your  Education  ^ 


In  the  skies  over  America  the  might- 
iest air  fleet  in  the  history  of  the 
world  is  mobilizing  for  victory! 

So  fast  is  it  growing  that  there  is  a 
place  here  —  an  urgent  need  here  — 
for  every  college  man  in  America  who 
can  qualify  for  Officer's  Training. 

The  U.  S.  Army  Air  Forces  need 
Flying  Officers  and  Ground  Crew 
Officers.  And  many  of  them  must 
come  from  the  ranks  of  today's  col- 
lege students  —  men  who  make  their 
plans  now  for  the  necessary  Aviation 
Cadet  training. 

Thanks  to  a  newly  created  Air 
Force  Reserve  plan,  men  of  all  classes 
—  aged  18  to  26,  inclusive  —  can  en- 
list for  immediate  service  or  continue 
the  scholastic  work  required  for 
graduation  before  being  called  to 
active  duty. 

You  must  meet  the  requirements 
lor  physical  fitness,  of  course.  In 
addition,  you  take  a  new  simplified 
test  to  determine  your  ability  to  grasp 
the  training.  A  college  man  shotdd 
pass  it  easily. 

$75  A  MONTH  DURING 
TRAINING 

Those  accepted  who  wish  immediate 
duty  will  go  into  training  as  rapidly 
as  facilities  permit.  As  an  Aviation 
Cadet,  you  are  paid  ^75  a  month, 
with  subsistence,  quarters,  medical 
care,  uniforms,  equipment. 

In  8  months  you  can  win  an  offi- 
cer's commission  as  a  bombardier, 
navigator  or  pilot  —  and  be  well 
started  on  your  way  to  serve  America 
and  advance  yourself  in  aviation. 


Three  Enlistment  Plans 
for  College  Men 

Juniors— Sophomores— Freshmen 
May  ContiRHe  Their  EdueaHon 

1.  A  new  plan  allows  Juniors, 
Sophomores  and  Freshmen,  aged 
18  to  26,  inclusive,  to  enlist  in  the 
Air  Force  Enlisted  Reserve  and 
continue  their  schooling,  pro- 
vided they  maintain  satisfactory 
scholastic  standings. 

All  College  Men  May  Enlist 
for  Immediate  Service 

2.  All  college  students  may  enlist 
as  privates  in  the  Army  Air  Forces 
(unassigned)  and  serve  there  un- 
til their  turns  come  for  Aviation 
Cadet  traihing. 

3.  All  college  students  may  enlist 
in  the  Air  Force  Enlisted  Reserve 
and  wait  until  ordered  to  report 
for  Aviation  Cadet  training. 

Upon  graduation  or  withdrawal 
from  college,  men  will  be  assigned 
to  active  duty  at  a  training  center 
as  facilities  become  available. 

If  the  necessity  of  war  demands, 
the  deferred  status  in  the  Army 
Reserve  may  be  terminated  at  any 
time  by  the  Secretary  of  War. 

Tk»  new  Army  A\t  Farce  Enllsftd  Re-

regulations  regarding  eMtablUhod 
R.O.T.C.  plans. > 


MANY  BRANCHES  OF  SERVICE 

There  are  also  commissions  awarded 
in  ground  crew  service.  College  men 
particularly  will  be  interested  in  the 
requirements  for  Armaments,  Com- 
munications, Engineering,  Meteorol- 
ogy, Photography.  If  you  have  engi- 
neering experience  your  chances  of 
getting  a  commission  are  excellent. 

As  a  Second  Lieutenant  on  active 
duty  with  the  Army  Air  Forces,  your 
pay  ranges  from  ^183  to  ^243  a 
month.

Registration  for  Sugar 
Set  for  May  4;  Grant 
Requests        Cooperation 

As  part  uf  a  iiation-wiile  rationing 
program,  consumer  registration  for  sugar 
rationing-booklets  will  take  place  Monday, 
Tuesday,  Wednesday,  and  Thursday  of 
this  coming  week.  Students  may  register 
at  home,  but  are  strongly  urged  for  their 
personal  protection  to  register  on  these 
days  with  the  townspeople,  according  to  an 
alphabetical  arrangement  between  2:00 
and  8:00  p.  ni.  at  the  Williamstown  High 
School  on  the  corner  of  Southworth  and 
School  Streets. 

Registration  will  he  conducted  on  the 
basis  of  the  initial  of  the  individual's  last 
name:  A  to  F  on  Monday,  G  to  M  on 
Tuesday,  N  to  S  on  Wednesday,  and  T  to  Z 
on  Thursday. 

The  registrant  will  receive  a  booklet  of 
Iwenty-eighl  stamps,  each  stamp  being  worth 
a  pound  of  sugar  and  holding  for  a  two- 
week  period.  The  booklet  mil  lust  for  about 
a  year  and  will  he  the  basis  for  any  future 
purchase  of  sugar  made  by  the  registrant  or 
those  catering  for  him. 

"The  stamps,"  explained  Francis  V. 
Grant,  superintendent  of  schools  and 
authority  on  local  rationing,  "are  not 
specilically  sugar  stamps,  but  may  be  used 
for  other  things  later  on  which  the  govern- 
ment may  choose  to  ration.  If  the  student 
registers  himself  next  week,  he  will  protect 
himself  and  save  later  complications." 

If  for  any  reason  a  student  is  unable  to 
register  according  to  the  alphabetical 
arrangement,  then  he  should  do  so  on  the 
most  convenient  of  the  four  days.  Grant 
stressed. 

Last  Tuesday  and  Wednesday,  stores, 
hotels,  fraternities,  and  other  eating  places 
registered  through  the  efforts  of  the  Local 
Rationing  Board  343,  of  which  Prof. 
George  M.  Harper  is  chairman.  The 
other  members  are  Wallace  E.  Greene, 
assistant  treasurer  of  the  Williamstown 
Savings  Bank,  and  Fred  H.  Shennan, 
local  plumber. 

Individual  questions  and  problems 
should  be  taken  up  with  Superintendent 
Grant  or  the  local  rationing  board  which 
meets  regularly  in  the  town  office  on 
Tuesdays  from  4:00  to  5:00  p.  m.  and  on 
Fridays  from  7:00  to  8:00  p.  m. 


AIR  CORPS 


(Continued  from  page  2) 
siring   ground  officer  training   will   tran 
scripts  of  college  work  be    reciuired.     All 
applicants  are  subject  to  a  physical  exam- 
ination. 

To  provide  a  more  effective  liaison  be- 
tween the  college  and  the  Army  Air  Force, 
Prof.  Samuel  A.  Matthews  has  been 
appointed  Faculty  Air  Force  Adviser.  He 
will  be  advised  on  all  the  details  of  the 
Army  Air  Force  college  program  and  will 
establish  a  personal  relationship  with  the 
Army  representatives.  Professor  Mat- 
thews will  help  the  Army  avoid  conflict 
with  college  policies  and  will  keep  the  Air 
Force  representatives  informed  of  the  dates 
of  important  college  activities. 

The  Air  Corps  recommends  that 
Reserve  Aviation  Cadets  should  familiar- 
ize themselves  with  aviation  by  reading 
up-to-date  and  authoritative  books  and 
periodicals.  Recommended  but  not  re- 
quired are  courses  in  mathematics,  physics, 
cartography,  and  astronomy.

WILIJAMS  COLLEGE, 


First  World  War  II  Class  Receives  134 

Mrs.  Roosevelt  to  Attend  Russian  Relief  Dance  July  4 

Wife  of  President 
Sends  Acceptance 
To  Prof.  Johnson 

Trustees  Open  Gym  To 
Square,  Round  Dancing 
for  Community,  College 


The  Williaiiistiiwn  Committee  for 
Russian  War  Kclief  wishes  to  ex- 
press ils  sincere  appreciation  to  llie 
President' and  Triistees  of  Williams 
College  for  granting  permission  for  a 
dance  in  the  Lasell  Gymnasium  the 
night  of  July  4. 

Joseph  E.  Johnson,  Chairman 


With  Eleanor  Roosevelt,  wife  of  the 
President  of  the  United  States,  leading  olT 
ils  square  and  circles,  the  Williamstown 
Russian  War  Relief  Committee  will 
sponsor  a  community  dance  in  the  Lasell 
Gymnasium  the  night  of  July  4.  Co- 
operating in  the  plans  (o  help  send  aid  to 
the  ally  of  the  I'nited  States,  the  trustees 
of  the  college  waived  all  precedent  Fri- 
day morning  when  they  granted  per- 
mission for  a  public  dance  to  be  held  in  a 
college    building. 

A  Community  Dance 

Local  chairman  of  Russian  War  Relief, 
Joseph  E.  Johnson,  assistant  professor  of 
history,  met  with  his  committee  last  Tues- 
day morning  to  formulate  plans  for  the 
hjrthconiing  dance.  All  mendjers  were 
anxious  in  particular  to  stress  the  fact 
that  this  was  not  a  dance  for  the  college, 
but  was  a  community  affair  for  Williams- 
town  residents,  mendiers  of  local  com- 
nmnities,   and   college  students. 

The  coniniittei'  also  decided  to  use  both 
the  large  and  small  floors  of  the  g\m- 
nasium  for  dancing.  On  the  larger  floor 
there  will  be  a  square  dance  orchestra 
playing,  while  in  the  smaller  gym  there 
will  be  a  rounil  dance  orchestra.  By 
utilizing  both  floors  in  this  way,  the  com- 
mittee feels  that  it  can  accommodate 
1,000  guests  during  the  night  of  dancing. 

Present  plans  call  for  continuous  nmsic 
all  evening  long,  with  one  orchestra  play- 
ing while  the  other  holds  intermission. 
At  times  both  orchestras  will  be  heard  at 
imce,  for  the  bands  will  not  be  on  an 
alternating  schedule. 

Mrs.  Roosevelt  Accepts 

Mrs.  Roosevelt  wrote  her  acceptance  to 

the    dance    Wednesday.     Not    only    an 

ardent  square  dancer,  she  has  been  much 

interested   in  the  moves  of  the  National

Professor  Milham  Retires  After  47-Year 
Career   Teaching   Astronomy  at  Williams 

Aji  George  Y.  Nehrbas  '44 

Dr.  Willis  1.  Milham,  retiring  Field  Memorial  Professor  of  Astronomy,  eased 
back  in  his  chair  and,  smiling,  contemplated  his  fifty-two  years  of  association 
with  Williams  College  and  his  forty-seven  years  of  active  service.  Professor  Milham 
who  taught  his  last  class  here  two  weeks  ago,  first  came  to  Williams  as  a  "verdant 
and  immature  freshman"  in  1890,  has  seen  Williams  in  two  world  wars,  and  has 
served  his  country  as  well  as  his  college  by*' 
training  students  in  vital  astronomical 
work. 

His  forty-seven  years  of  teaching  at 
Williams  give  him  a  two-year  edge  over 
Prof.  Albert  Hopkins,  and  put  him  second 
only  to  former  President  Mark  Hopkins 
in  terms  of  length  of  service  to  the  college. 

Graduatcfl  in  1894 

Professor  Milham  was  graduated  in 
1894  as  Salutatorian  of  his  class,  having 
attained  Phi  Beta  Kappa  in  his  junior  year. 
Not  athletically  inclined,  his  efforts  in 
college  were  directed  toward  the  Adelphic 
Union  which  he  headed  in  his  senior  year. 

He  became  a  fellow  at  Williams  imme- 
diately after  graduation,  obtaining  his 
M.  A.  degree  in  1895.  On  his  return  from 
the  University  of  Strasburg  where  he  was 
awarded  his  Ph.  D.  in  1901,  Professor 
Milham  became  Field  Memorial  Pro- 
fessor of  Astronomy  and  head  of  the 
(Sec  MILHAM  page  S)

four  years  and  received  his  position  as  full 
professor  in  1913. 

Graduating  from  Lafayette  College  in 
1894,  Dr.  Hardy  pursued  his  post-graduate 
work  at  Johns  Hopkins  where  he  received 
a  fellowship  of  mathematics.  In  1897  he 
acquired  his  M.  A.  degree  from  Lafa- 
yette, and  in  the  following  year  he  re- 
ceived his  Ph.  D.  from  Johns  Hopkins. 

In  1898  Dr.  Hardy  came  to  Williams 
He  has  written  many  articles  for  scientific 
publications  and  has  published  two  books

Kappa  society  and  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
fraternity.

(In  his  Baccalaureate  address  in  Thomp- 
son Chapel  today,  President  James  P. 
Baxter,  3rd  so  simply  and  forcefully  ex- 
pressed his  message  to  the  class  of  1942  that 
■we  have  decided  to  present  a  condensation 
of  his  speech  in  his  own  words,  rather  than 
rephrasing  his  statements  in  our  own. —

"My  text  is  taken  from  the  eighteenth 
psalm,  the  second  and  thirty-fourth  verses: 
'The  Lord  is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress, 
and  my  deliverer;  my  God,  my  strengtii, 
in  whom  I  will  trust;  my  Ijuckler,  and  the

"Defensive  thinking,  unfortunately,  is

long  time  we  were  told,  and  most  of  us  be- 
lieved, that  our  share  in  this  great  struggle 
was  to  consist  simply  in  furnishing  the 
arms  with  which  other  nations  were  to 
overthrow  Hitlerism.  This  passive  con-

Deeply  concerned  over  the  future  of  the

Archibald  MacLeish,  librarian  of  Congress, 
and  Director  of  theOffice  of  Facts  and  Fig-

Felix  T.  Smith,  Jr.,  speaking  on  "The

dictorian. Smith  called  for  a  re-statement 
of  the  objectives  of  the  United  Nations  on 
a  basis  of  human  rather  than  national 
rights.  According  to  the  speaker,  today's 
plans  calling  for  survival  of  nations  and 
national  •ietory  are  inade(|Uate.  Calling 
the  objectives  of  the  allies  too  vague,  too

definite  hguresare  not  available  because  of 
unsettled  conditions,  "about  190  men  have 
been  accepted  thus  far  and  will  take 
advantage  of  the  accelerated  schedule  and 
some  50  more  will  probably  enter  in  mid- 
October,"  Mr.  Wood  said. 

Further  statistics  on  the  incoming  class 
have  not  as  yet  been  drawn  up,  Mr.  Wood 
said,  inasmuch  as  many  high  school  and 
preparator\'  school  students  have  been 
unable  to  make  delinite  plans.  The 
administration  has  not ,  he  asserted,  yet 
considered  the  problem  of  affixing  class 
numerals  to  the  two  divisions  of  1946. 
More  High  School  Students 

To  date  the  percentage  of  high  school 
students  entering  Williams  is  higher  than 
that  of  any  other  class  since  1932,  stated 
the  Director  of  Admissions. 

Nine  Tyng  Scholarships  have  been 
awarded  so  far  this  year  to  members  of 
Williams'  I49lh  class  in  addition  to  37 
other  scholarships.  As  a  result  of  the 
April  18  meeting  of  the  lyng  Scholarship 
Committee,  eight  high  school  students  and 
one  preparatory  school  student  entering 
Williams  have  been  offered  varying 
amounts  of  financial  aid  for  the  coming 
year. 

Tyng  Scholars 

Those  named  for  Tyng  awards  include: 
Harry  N.  Bane,  Denver,  Colo.,  South  High 
School;  John  J.  Eagen,  Trenton,  N.  J., 
Trent<m  High  School;  Robert  J.  Nelson, 
Maplewood,  N.  J.,  Columbia  High  School; 
George  M.  Perrin,  Wellesley  Hills,  Kivers 
Academy;  John  S.  Reshelar,  Minneapolis,

Freshmen,  Sophomores,  17  thru  19.  Enlist  now! 
*  Stay  in  college!  You  may  qualify  for  a 
Naval  Commission  on  the  sea  or  in  the  air. 


Freshmen,  Sophomores.  Here's  a 
challenge — and  an  opportunity! 
Your  Navy  needs  trained  men. 
Trained  men  to  become  Naval 
OflBcers!  And  your  college  is  ready 
to  give  you   that    training  now. 

Here's  New  Navy  Plan 

If  you're  17  and  not  yet  20,  you  en- 
list now  as  an  Apprentice  Seaman 
in  the  Naval  Reserve.  You  then 
continue  in  college,  including  in 
your  studies  courses  stressing  phys- 
ical training,  mathematics  and 
physics.  After  you  successfully 
complete  1 J^  calendar  years  of  col- 
lege work,  you  will  be  given  a  cIeis- 
sification  test. 

Aviation  Officers 

If  you  qualify  by  this  test,  you 
may  volunteer  to  become  a  Naval 
Aviation  Officer.  In  this  case,  you 
will  be  permitted  to  finish  the  sec- 
ond calendar  year  of  college  work 


before  you  start  your  training  to 
become  a  Flying  Officer. 

However,  at  any  time  during 
this  two-year  period  after  you  have 
reached  your  18th  birthday,  you 
may,  if  you  so  desire,  take  the  pre- 
scribed examination  for  Aviation 
Officer  .  .  .  and,  if  successful,  be 
assigned  for  Aviation  training.  Stu- 
dents who  fail  in  their  college 
courses,  or  who  withdraw  from 
college,  will  also  have  the  privilege 
of  taldng  the  Aviation  examination. 

Deck  or  Engineering  Officers 

If  you   qualify  in   the  classifica- 
tion test  and  do  not  volunteer  for 


Aviation,  you  will  be  selected  f  ••" 
training  as  a  Deck  or  Enginoei- 
ing  OfUcer.  In  that  case,  you  wiil 
continue  your  college  program 
until  you  receive  your  bachelor's 
degree,  provided  you  maintain  tho 
established  university  standards. 

Other  Opportunities 

If  you  do  not  qualify  as  either  po- 
tential Aviation  Officer  or  as  poten- 
tial Dock  or  Engineering  Officer 
you  will  be  permitted  to  finish  your 
second  calendar  year  of  college 
and  will  then  be  ordered  to  active 
duty  as  Apprentice  Seamen.  But, 
even  in  this  event,  because  of  your 
college  training,  you  will  have  a 
better  chance  for  advancement. 

Pay  starts  with  active  duty. 

It's  a  real  challenge!  It's  a  Teal 
opportunity!  Make  every  minute 
count  by  doing  something  about 
this  new  Navy  plan  today.

and  cut  in  on  some  particularly  decorous 
freshmen.  Although  s:jnietthat  surprised,

Adelphic  Union  Plans 
Discussions,  Tourneys 

In  an  effort  to  stimulate  ciimpus  dis- 
cussion, the  Adelphic  Unio.'i  plans  a  series 
of  round  tables  and  informal  faculty- 
student  meetings  for  the  summer  term. 

I'rederic  S.  Nathan  '4,f,  president  of  the 
debating  society,  further  announces  for 
the  coming  )'C*ar  "a  definite  trend  away 
from  formal  clebaK's  of  the  old  type  and 
toward  the  cross-exann'nation  system." 
Tournaments  with  Wellesley  and  \'assiir 
are  being  arranged  for  the  fall  term.  "We 
want  to  get  away  from  the  two-college 
affairs,  and  we  feel  that  tournaments  such 
as  the  Wellesley-Dartmouth-Williams  one 
of  the  past  season  are  far  more  profitabL'.** 

Summer  round  tables  will  be  held  in  the 
evening  either  in  (Iriffin  Hall  or  in  the 
open  air.  Faculty  members  and  the 
student  body  will  be  urged  to  attend.

With  thi.s  issue,  which  ha.s  been  prepared  especially  for  alumni, 
undergraduates,  and  friends  of  Williams  College  attending  Commence- 
ment, The  Record  suspends  publication  until  June  26. 


In  Order  To  Survive 

The  college  which  today  offers  its  149th  class  to  the  service  of  the 
United  Nations  made  its  first  contribution  of  leaders  and  citizens  to 
American  democratic  life  during  the  administration  of  George  Wash- 
ington. Williams  cannot  continue  to  make  these  contributions,  however, 
by  merely  reaffirming  its  time-honored  traditions  and  policies.  On 
every  side  Williams  is  faced  with  new  challenges,  new  threats  to  its 
continued  existence,  which  can  only  be  met  effectively  by  intelligent 
thinking  and  decisive  action  on  the  part  of  alumni,  undergraduates,  and 
faculty. 

The  strongest  challenges  to  the  college's  future  are  financial.  Coop- 
erative Management,  for  which  we  have  already  waited  too  long,  offers 
hope  that  our  ridiculously  high  social-group  living  costs  will  be  lowered. 
Our  scholarship  funds,  augmented  by  the  Tyng  grants,  give  evidence 
that  Subfreshmen  of  all  income  brackets  will  be  able  to  consider  Williams. 
The  excellent  efforts  of  the  trustees  to  lower  college  expenditures  for  each 
student,  the  increasing  awareness  of  every  undergraduate  that  his  parents 
cannot  continue  paying  $11.50  per-week  board  bills,  student  contributions 
to  Russian  War  Relief,  the  W.  C.  A.  Chest  Fund,  and  Fort  Devens  all 
prove  that  Williams  men  are  anxious  to  decrease  unnecessary  expenses 
and  allocate  funds  to  essential  causes. 

The  challenges  to  the  Williams  curriculum,  arising  mainly  from  the 
technological  demands  of  war,  are  being  met,  but  slowly.  New  science 
courses,  not  defense-course  guts  but  profitable  additions  to  the  curriculum, 
are  today  fitting  many  men  for  sjjecialized  branches  of  the  armed  forces. 
Unfortunately  we  cannot  obtain  government  permission  to  offer  R.O.T.C. 
training  to  undergraduates.  Unfortunately  many  of  our  best  professors 
have  been  called  to  wartime  posts,  although  there  is  every  reason  to 
expect  their  return,  and  to  expect  that  the  trustees  will  continue  securing 
liberal  thinkers  of  broad  experience  to  head  up  our  curricular  offerings. 
Unfortunately  there  is  still  prevalent  among  certain  members  of  the 
faculty  the  belief  that  papers,  quizzes,  and  mere  recitation  of  facts  must 
be  emphasized  over  the  development  of  clear  thinking  and  intellectual 
courage  and  conviction.  Unfortunately  there  is  still  no  evidence  that 
compulsory  athletics  will  be  effectively  enforced. 

The  social  organization  of  the  college  is  also  being  challenged.  The 
fraternities  are  gra<lually  —  almost  imperceptibly  —  replacing  the 
idiocies  of  Hell  Week  with  constructive  year-long  freshman  orientation 
programs.  Gradually,  too,  the  houses  are  returning  to  their  original 
objective  of  encouraging  sound  .scholarship  as  the  first  obligation  of  their 
members.  Participation  in  athletics  and  extra-curricular  activities  still 
carries  more  prestige  than  scholastic  achievement  on  the  Williams  campus, 
but  as  the  social-group  viewpoint  on  scholarship  changes,  this  situation 
will  probably  be  remedied.  Undergraduate  apathy  towards  compulsory 
chapel  has  become  more  marked  than  ever  before,  and  it  remains  to  be 
seen  whether  the  new  chapel  program  recently  announced  in  The  Record 
will  improve  matters. 

Gargoyle,  student-governing  bodies,  campus  publications,  and  other 
college  organizations  are  devoting  their  time  and  effort  to  the  cause  of 
the  United  Nations,  for  winning  the  war  is  the  first  step  towards  insuring 
the  future  existence  of  every  value  of  American  life.  All  of  us  who  are 
closely  tied  to  the  interests  of  Williams  are  positive  the  college  can  survive 
this  war,  if  alumni  (including  the  131  men  who  file  into  President  Baxter's 
oflBce  today),  undergraduates,  and  faculty  continue  at  an  ever  accelerating 
pace  to  meet  the  financial,  curricular,  and  social  problems  facing  Williams 
with  clear  thought  and  swift  action.

Friend  or  Enemy? 

They're  taking  no  chances 

Day  and  night  thousands  of  civilian  volunteers  at  Army  author- 
ized observation  posts  report  Aircraft  Flash  Messages  to  Army 
"filter"  centers— by  telephone.  From  this  information,  each  plane's 
course  is  charted  on  filter  maps... relayed  to  operations  boards 
such  as  the  one  shown  above  — by  telephone.  Should  checking 
prove  the  aircraft  to  be  an  enemy,  the  telephone  would  play  an 
important  part  in  the  defense  strategy... in  warning  endangered 
communities ...  in  mobilizing  civilian  defense  units. 

Bell  System  men  cooperated  with  Army  authorities  in  design- 
ing and  providing  the  telephone  facilities  used  by  the  air  defense 
system.  This  is  but  another  example  of  a  war-time  job  well  done.

them;  the  best  military,  naval,  and  air 
intelligence  that  we  can  muster  and  the 
soundest  and  boldest  of  war  plans;  morale 
ecjual  to  any  strain  combined  with  the 
wisdom  to  distinguish  a  sham  peace  from 
a  real  one.  Necessary  though  these  are, 
they  are  not  enough.  We  shall  never  win 
that  peace  without  fighting  long  and  hard 
by  land,  by  sea,  and  in  the  air.  The 
ultimate  requirement  is  trained,  well-led 
fighting  men  who  like  the  immortal  fliers 
of  the  A.  V.  G.,  can  match  the  best  the 

enemy  has  to  offer  and  go  on  from  there 

5  Men  Killed 

"Already  at  least  five  Williams  men 
have  given  their  lives  for  their  country. 
Most  of  the  men  who  graduate  today  will 
soon  be  in  uniform,  the  uniform  we  honor 
because  it  is  the  outward  and  visible  sign 
of  the  readiness  to  make  the  supreme 
sacrifice.  They  will  honor  that  uniform 
as  it  honors  them. 

"My  prayer  for  them,  and  for  their 
comrades  in  arms,  is  that  God  will  be  their 
strength,  as  well  as  their  shield  and  buckler 

(Victory)  is  often  a  matter  of  tapping 

hidden  reserves  of  power;  the  power  of  a 
great  tradition,  the  power  that  comes  from 
discipline,  the  power  of  faith  that  comes 

from  God 

'Of  the  Founder ' 

"This  is  a  soldier's  college.  It's  found- 
er, a  frontier  leader,  gave  his  life  for  his 
King  and  his  estate  for  education.  The 
day  I  decided  to  accept  the  offer  of  the 
Hoard  of  Trustees  and  become  the  Presi- 
dent of  this  College,  I  stopped  at  the  place 
where  Ephraim  Williams  was  first  buried 
and  prayed  there  for  strength  and  guid- 
ance, as  we  shall  pray  today  in  this  chapel, 

in  whose  chancel  lies  his  honored  dust 

Power:  Discipline,  Faith 

"On  our  playing  fields  and  in  our  class- 
rooms we  have  seen,  though  not  always 
elsewhere  in  the  past  two  decades,  the 
power  that  comes  from  discipline     .. 

"Neither  this  nor  any  other  generation 
can  achieve  its  best,  however,  unless  it 
can  tap  the  greatest  of  its  hidden  reserves

of   power,  the  faith   which   comes   from 

God 

"Lastly,  the  Psalmist  tells  us,  God  is 
his  high  tower.  From  that  high  tower, 
what  can  we  see,  over  the  horizon  of  war. 
It  is  one  of  the  fixed  beliefs  of  the  Christian 
faith  that  we  can  see  peace:  not  a  sham 
peace,  into  which  we  are  tricked  by  false 
seeming,  but  a  lasting  peace  such  as  the 
world  has  not  yet  known.  It  is  too  early 
yet  to  delineate  it,  but  it  must  hold  the 
promise  of  the  four  freedoms:  freedom  of 
speech  and  religion,  freedom  from  want, 
freedom  from  fear.  These  are  great  boons, 
not  to  be  won  lightly  by  men  who  shun 
responsibility  and  dread  sacrifice.  They 
will  never  be  won  without  a  readiness  to 
limit  national  sovereignty  and  develop 
larger  loyalties  than  those  we  were  capable 
of  in  the  troubled  period  between  the  two 
world  wars.  In  the  grim  struggle  with 
the  totalitarian  powers  we  are  developing, 
among  the  United  Nations,  international 
agencies  more  potent  than  those  of  the 
League  of  Nations.  These  international 
agencies,  modeled  on  similar  creations  of 
the  Principal  Allied  and  Associated  Powers 
in  1917-18,  regulate  shipping,  food,  raw 
materials,  munitions,  and  foreign  ex- 
change. They  must  not  be  allowed  to 
collapse  with  the  armistice  as  did  their 
prototypes  of  1918.  Somehow,  out  of  the 
great  effort  necessary  to  overthrow  our 
enemies,  we  must  create  and  preserve  the 
necessary  instruments  of  an  international 
society,  to  which  in  due  time  and  if  need 
be  after  long  probation,  all  nations  may 
find  their  place." 

MANAGEMENT

selection  of  a  resident  business  manager  is 
of  utmost  importance  to  the  success  of  the 
entire  plan  and  emphasized  that  while 
speed  is  necessary,  the  step  must  be  taken 
cautiously.

wife  of  the  President  might  be  willing  to

as  its  principal  aim.  He  wrote  a  letter  of 
invitation  to  her  and  Wednesday  her 
letter  of  acceptance  was  in  the  hands  of 
the  ccmimittee. 

The  Russian  War  Relief  Committee 
plans  to  publicize  thoroughly  the  dance  in 
the  neighboring  communities  of  North 
Adams,  Adams,  and  Pittsfield  in  the  hope 
that  a  large  number  of  guests  will  attend. 
In  addition  to  the  evening  of  dancing,  the 
committee  hopes  to  present  some  other 
form  of  entertainment.  Prices  have  been 
set  tentatively  at  about  6Sc  for  a  single 
person  and  about  $1  for  a  couple.  The 
orchestras  have  not  yet  been  named  al-

Spring  Teams  Set  .654  Average  in  Abbreviated  Season 


All  Varsity  Teams 
Compete  Actively 
Despite  Speed -Up 

Baseball,  Track,  Lacrosse, 
Tennis  and  Golf  Teams 
in    College    Competition 

Thursday,  May  14.  With  the  Mass. 
State  and  Amhrrst  liaseliall  jjanits  yet  to 
be  played,  the  live  varsity  squads  iif  the 
spring  season  have  compiled  a  combined 
average  of  .654.  Despite  the  curtailment 
made  necessary  by  a  shortened  term,  the 
baseball,  track,  lacrosse,  tennis,  and  t^o]! 
teams  all  saw  intercollegiate  competition. 

Opening  with  a  smashing  23-2  win  over 
a  previously  unbeaten  Army  team,  the 
Ijaseball  squad  showetl  its  hitting  power  by 
knocking  out  twenty-two  safeties,  in- 
cluding eight  e.\tra-base  hits.  Stu  Lare's 
delivery  effectively  baffled  the  Cadets; 
they  managed  to  pole  only  eight  scattered 
hits. 

Amherst  Ball  Game 

Losing  the  first  Amherst  game,  8-3, 
Williams'  hitting  power  failed  to  click 
against  the  pitching  of  RoUo  Smith. 
Careless  lu^lding  and  four  errors  handi- 
capped the  Purple  sc|uad's  defensive  play. 
Opening  with  an  unearned  run  in  the  first 
inning  the  Sabrinas  scored  seven  more  runs 
by  bunching  their  hits  in  the  second  and 
eighth  innings. 

The  baseball  sc|uad  next  lost  to  Provi- 
dence College,  4-3,  and  then  came  back  to 
take  their  Little  Three  game  against 
Wesleyan  liy  scoring  twice  in  the  last  half 
of  thi-  ninth  inning.  With  two  games  to 
be  played  the  baseball  team  has  won  two 
games  and  lost  two,  while  making  35  runs 
to  its  opponents'  19. 

Lacrosse  Loses  Once 

After  losing  to  Dartmouth  in  their 
opener,  the  lacrosse  team  came  back  to 
win  over  Tufts  and  M.  I.  T.,  making  a 
.667  percentage  and  running  up  24  points 
to  their  opponents'  9.  Captain  Herb 
Holden's  scrappy  team  held  a  vaunted 
Dartmouth  ten  to  a  tie  score  for  four 
periods  and  then  succumbed  to  the  Big 
Green  extra-peri(id  drive,  7-5.

Just  as  the  sun  was  setting  over  the 
Taconic  links  Tuesday,  April  28,  Dick 
Baxter's  varsity  golf  team  rose  out  of  a 
week-old  slump  to  rout  Amherst,  6^-2^. 
Fred  Barnqs'  two-under-par  35  featured 
a  back  nine  rally  in  the  second  and  third 
foursomes  that  swept  the  Jeff  s(|uad  off 
its  feet. 

Amherst  held  the  edge  all  down  the 
line  at  the  halfway  ntark  but  the  last  four 
Purple  linksmen  stayed  within  one  shot 
of  the  final  nine's  37  par.  Barnes  and 
Mai  Moore,  both  clown  at  the  turn  and  all 
sc|uare  on  the  best-ball  match,  came  out 
with  three  points.  They  rattled  off  three 
straight  birdies  and  two  pars  to  close  out 
the  low-ball  point  5  and  4. 

Captain  Hussey  Draws 

Wils  Barnes  and  Bill  Courter  turned  on 
the  heat  in  the  second  foursome  to  take 
all  three  matches  by  5  and  4  margins. 
Captain  Stretch  Hussey  fought  Dick 
Hunter  to  a  draw  in  the  first  match  for 
Williams'  final  half-point.  Doc  Traver, 
Amherst's  captain,  downed  Bob  McKec 
in  the  second  individual  match  while  the 
Jeffs  took  the  best-ball   point.

Lawn  tennis  championships,  hut  the

Tod  Hunt  scored  two  wins  to  reach  the 
individual  round  of  eight,  but  bowed  to 
Jenkins  of  Harvard,  6-2,  3-6,  6-2.  Jenkins 
was  runner-up  to  Springfield's  Don 
Richardson  in  the  finals. 

Hunt  and  George  Crandall  reached  the 
doubles  quarters  with  a  three-set  win  over 
Brown's  Loeb-Campbell  duo.  They  lost 
to  the  ultimate  winners,  Hytic  and  Sorlien

Charley  Caldwell  Plays 
Hunch;  West  Tees  Off 
mth  Red-Hot  Double 

Wednesday  evening  the  Williams  base- 
ball team  played  Sprague's  .Specialties,  a 
team  from  North  Adams,  in  a  twilight 
practice  tilt. 

In  the  third  inning,  pitcher  Bill  West 
came  to  bat  with  two  on.  He  struck  out. 
Williams  needed  two  runs. 

In  the  fifth  inning  pitcher  Bill  West 
started  to  bat.  Two  men  were  again  on 
base.  Coach  Charlie  Caldwell  called  him 
back  for  a  pinch  hitter.  "Aw,  I  felt  just 
like  a  good  one,"  said  piich.r  West. 
"Well,  go  ahead  and  bat,"  saitl  his  coach 
suddenly  playing  a  psychic  hunch. 

This  time  West  didn't  strike  out.  On 
the  first  pitch,  he  laced  a  ringing  double 
deep  into  left  center  to  put  his  team  into 
a  lead  it  never  relincjuished.  Williams 
won,  9-2. 

Freshman  Track  Team

A  convincing  Little  Three  track  victory

walking  on  the  3-2  pitch.  Hagsinmi 
sacrificed,  an<l  when  catcher  Dick  I liik  ■\  s

infielder  reached  safely,  with  Dolaii 
scampering  all  the  way  to  third.  Hill

Bob  .Swain  bounced  to  second-baseinaii 
Pop  .Sadowski,  who  forced  Dolan  at  home. 
With  two  out,  the  wind  carried  Hill

by  inches.  He  then  took  a  fourth  \a\], 
forcing  in  Hagstrom  with  the  tying  run. 
Howells'  opening  pitch  to  Jack  llarter

Callahan   Hit   Hard 

Ed  Callahan,  fresh  from  his  six-hit  |jer- 
formance  against  Providence,  was  no 
match  for  the  Cardinal  bats.  Until  he 
was  relieved  by  Lare  with  one  out  in  the 
second,  Callahan  was  nicked  for  four  hits, 
while  issuing  a  jiair  of  free  tickets.

and  Hickey  filled  the  bases  with  a  cheap 
single  to  left.  With  one  out  Howells 
grounded  down  the  third  base  line,  but 
Hob  Gardner  dropped  Hagstroni's  throw , 
allowing  Heaton  to  score.  I'hil  Norton 
grounded  to  Schmidt,  whose  bad  throw  to 
Donovan  on  second  let  Losee  and  Hickey 
cross  the  plate.  Johnson  then  singled  to

Johnson  trying  to  score  from  second,  after 
Norton  had  scored  the  fifth  run.  Heaton,
